I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my music video. I am pleased with myself because I feel the video looks quite professional considering I have never used the program Premier Pro 5.5 before. I used various techniques to produce an effective video. Some of the techniques I used were changing some clips to black and white, slowing down the motion of some clips, adding sound effects of sea, and adding blackouts and smooth transitions. Overall, all of these techniques come together to create a smooth running video which flows well and matches the song exactly. I love the way in which the model creates emotion by walking half heartedly dragging her arm behind. This fits with the music well and matches the narrative of being broken hearted. The mix of colour and black and white enables a contrast between the clips and consistantly grabs the audiences attention because there is a consistent change of motion or background etc.

My lecturer suggested to me when my video was almost complete that it would sound good if I added a sound effect of waves to the part of the video which is set at the beach, I listened to my lecturer and researched free wave sound effects. Once I had found one I cut the clip in certain waves so that the sound matched the waves. I then changed the volume of the clip so that it was subtle and not over powering. I love this effect and it just adds that little bit more effect to the end of the video.

Overall I am very impressed with the outcome of my video.
