Rough Cut- Re-done

I'm a mess- rough cut 2 from Laura Greenley on Vimeo.

I decided that it would be a good idea to redo my 1 minuet rough cut of my video. After taking on board some of the comments from my teacher I could see that I wasn't effectively capturing the tone and mood of the song. There was also significant issues regarding continuity, mainly to do with the lighting, as I was using natural lighting for these shots it was hard for me to control but with the new use of the black and white filter this is much less noticeable. 

I decided that it would be beneficial to download premier pro to my laptop at home so that I could spend more time outside of lessons editing my work. This gives me a huge advantage as I can spend longer amounts of time going through my work in more detail and making the editing much tighter than I would at school with our two hour lessons. 

So the main differences with this rough cut is the use of black and white filter to fit with the tone/mood of the song, the tighter editing when he is using his phone, to almost give it a bit of a montage effect and the use of dissolves in the flashback scene to break up the long shot and give it more of a 'memory' feel. 

Overall I am much happier with this version of the video and I think it works much better than the first cut.
