Colours, voice over, and other general editing business

I filmed my video and it all went pretty smoothly. Oh the joys of having really patient cooperative models/friends. I plan my shoot generally pretty well but leave a lot to the day because somehow my spontaneous ideas seem to always work really well and really there is only so much you can plan.


I was lucky enough to get multiple outfits in the video something I usually don't do. I had a whole lot of fun planning the looks and developing the character through her dress.

While editing the film I felt like the colors were a little bland so I decided to boost the contrast on all the videos.

I wanted the character to have an american accent. I thought it made more sense as the topic is gun control. So while filming I had my model speak the lines but then edited the sound out and recorded my own voice over it. I think this adds another comical element which I like a lot. There are a few shots when I wish I could do over and make more symmetrical like the gun int he drawer scene. If I had angels the camera form above it may have looked even cooler.

Here is the final video...
