Shot 1 - Close up of Elliot's face shows his tired and restless expression as if he doesn't want to wake up in the morning. He is in his room and this starts the story for the audience as they can relate to not wanting to get up in the morning, he opens his curtains and this lights the room up as well as the mood.

Shot 2 - Close up of the IPod and clicking on the song, the song starts playing and automatically cheers the mood up in the video.

Editing Diary

Editing Diary

Effect	Shot	Meaning
Fade captions in and out. White font.	2	This is to display the title of the song and the artist smoothly to the audience. The white text is to not distract the audience’s attention from the music video.
Sound effect of a clock ticking.	From shot 1 to shot 9	The clock is ticking in the background to give some sound to the music video and to give the sense of somebody waking up in the morning.
Sound effect of curtains opening	3	As the scene is quiet this is to make it seem real when the young man opens the curtains.
Increased levels	Shot 1-12 excluding shot 4.	This is to make the colours of the inside of the young man’s house sharper for the audience, making it look more professional. Shot 4 wasn’t edited with levels as the light from outside would be too bright.
Match on action	6-8	This is to keep with continuity as the man walks up and changes song on the ipod.
Speed Increase	10 and 11	To make the zoom in and out of the man more quickly and keep the audience interested. It is also to create time for when the chorus of the song kicks in and he can head out the door.
Additive Dissolve	11	This is to make the transition from the last shot smooth and to signify the man is possibly in a dream or magical and can immediately get changed.
Reverse Speed	14	Without this continuity would be lost as the man would be dancing in the opposite direction to the previous shot.
Cross Dissolve	23 to 24	This is a smooth transition to indicate that time has passed from the last shot and the man is now dancing in new scenery.
Cross Dissolve	24-25	This is also a smooth transition to indicate time has passed and the mans journey continues into a new place.
Match on Action	24-28	This is to make the scene where the boy eating chicken notices and starts following the dancing man smoothly.
Cross Dissolve	29-30	A cross dissolve is to create a smooth transition between the shots between the two scenes.
Match on Action	31-36	These shots makes the music video more interesting as we can see the two boys faces and them having a chat, but at the same time we can see the other two boys approaching towards them dancing. This makes the audience anticipated to await if the boys will join the dancing que.
Slow Motion	37,39 and 41	This slow motion was to fit in with the guitar solo of the song. If the boys were dancing at normal speed it would not fit the pace of the song.
Match on Action	37-41	This is so that we can see the faces of the dancers and their legs as they dance along. This makes the video more interesting to watch.
Cross Dissolve	44-45	This is to make it clear that time has past again, but since the woodland can be seen in the background it only makes it appear like the dancers have progressed a short distance. If all the scenes of walking through the woodlands were filmed there would not be enough time left in the song.
Match on Action	45-48	This match on action fits with the pace of the song, we can see the boys approaching the bridge and dancing and then we can see them going off over the bridge. It also makes it more interesting that the dancers are dancing on different sides of the camera and this is consistent in both of the shots.
Cross Dissolve	49	This is a good way to end the music video instead of it cutting away, the cross dissolves makes the feeling that the main character is going off onto another journey.

Before hand

We researched music videos individually so we could get a good idea of what we could achieve. Our group decided on the song Don’t Stop by Foster The People as it has a good head bopping tune and this gave us our idea. Our idea is that someone will wake up and turn their iPod on, walk out and start bopping and the person will be infectious. People will follow him etc. Also we developed our idea with a story board which told us our idea would be possible and really brought it to live. We also have produced a shot list, screen play, script and a treatment PowerPoint.
