Hi everyone,

Here is the feedback that I received:

Teaser Video....

Hi everyone,

Here is my teaser trailer for my music video 'Seeing Stars' - I hope you like it!

BORNS 'Seeing Stars' Teaser Trailer:



I did my teaser a fast teaser incorporating everything into it as I wanted to matched the tempo of the song. Also, I got inspired by the upcoming film 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' teaser trailer which has been recently released: 



This trailer allows key flashes of the upcoming film - which is what I wanted to do for my music video considering that there are a lot of fast edited cut to various scenes and I wanted to incorporate a little snippet from almost every scene - giving the viewers a breath of mise-en-scene to consider.

I have further included some shots where graphics can be seen, specifically with the graphics of the artists and the stars at the end, representing the songs title. By showing these shots with the graphics as a whole, shows the viewer the music videos creativity, thus making them intrigued and excited to watch the full music video when released.

I also have used the beginning of the songs audio so that the footage would easily work on top without the need for lip syncing. Also, by the trailer including the beginning of the actual audio of the song ultimately invites the listener in wanting to here more as it gives them a sense of the main beat and vibe of the song and genre.


Hope you enjoyed it!

See you soon!

Lyric Video....

Hi everyone,

Here is my final lyric video:

Within my lyric video I have decided to use the firework footage that I have already previously filmed, to which I am no longer including it within my main music video. This is because the contrast of the urban and rural scenes did not work with the firework footage, also there where complications with the green screen when wanting varied shots. However, the fireworks within the lyric video makes a great background for the lyrics, with the star sparkler being constant throughout with the intended purpose to link in with title of the song 'Seeing Stars'.

I have further included overlays of fireworks at the beginning beat of the song, to help exaggerate the visuals and the beginning of the song. Also, I have included overlays of fireworks contrasting with the main lyrics of the song, with Comet fireworks being overlaid over the lyrics: 'You've got me seeing stars' - almost acting like shooting stars. This emphasises these lyrics - drawing attention to it through visuals.

I have further used a larger firework to overlay the lyric: 'Brighter than ever' - again emphasises this specific lyric to the viewer. As a result, I am still linking to Andrew Goodwin Conventions and the idea of linking lyrics to visuals. This is because the word 'Brighter' overlaid with a larger and more vivid in colour which is lighter firework, thus portraying the connotations of the word through visuals.

I have also repeated this same combination of both the Comet fireworks and the larger firework throughout these specific lyrics within the song. However, I did change the colour of each segment of these fireworks through the use of colour correction in order to add more colour to the video and it makes it more versatile and visually appealing. Also, I did this to stick with the happy and fun theme I am going for with my overall package of the song and the artist - and the change in colours allows this to happen.

Overall, I think that the simplicity of it works well and doesn't take away from the main music video, as it is something entirely different. I have taken this idea from influences from The Chainsmokers lyric videos in comparison to their main music videos of the same song. This almost allows the two videos to stand separately and to be seen as individuals. Therefore, when the music video is released after the lyric video, it should be seen as more of a surprise and intriguing, as the audience is not expecting the huge change.

Hope you enjoyed it!

See you soon!
