Our original video which were doing was called 'The Boy is mine' by Brandy and Monica.
we were filming for like 3-4 weeks but then decided to change our song to 'How do I breathe' by Mario because we felt that we couldn't do much with our first choice of song.

The song we are doing now is much better and we can do lots of things with it.

At first we were unsure about weather we should change our song because we thought it may effect our work and the video may not be as good, but the video so far has turned out fine and we've got loads of different shots.
Our video has lots of editing in it and lots of effects.

Syed is the main person in our video, the video is based around him reminising about his Girlfriend and regreting everything that happened between them, so we have used alot of effects that make Syed look like he is having flashbacks.


This idea works really well because we were able to use alot of shots that zoom in and out.
This made the video seem really effective and the way we used the shots went with the lyrics of the song.

For example there is a point where Syed is lip syncing from the bridge and looking foward.
Then a point of view shot is used and we see that Syed is looking at a bench.

The camera then cuts to the bench, but because it is a point of view shot from Syed, the shot is taken from behind.

On the bench is Syed and Me talking, this particular shot is purposely made to look old, so we can tell that Syed is looking into the past.

At the begining of the Video, Syed is on a bridge, just before he is about to start lip synching, he puts his head down, this shot is then edited so it shows syed putting his head down agen in slow motion, at this point we can see two images of Syed, one with his head down and another with his head coming down.

At one point there is a shot of Myself and Syed arguing in a park, then we walk off in opposite directions.

Then the shot is edited, it is rewinded so Myself and Syed come back and we see that same shot again.

This shot works really well because it seems like this is what is going on in Syeds head over and over again.

In the Video, there is a shot of Myself and Syed sat inStarbucks, then there is a shot of Syed in Starbucks alone.
This shot had two intentions, to show how lonely is and to make it seem that Syed is seeing things, like one minute I'm there, then the next minute Im not.

Editing the video was hard at times because there were points where Syed was lip synching to slow so that took quiet a bit of time to sort out.

Then there was another point where Syed was lip synching just about half a second to slow, evn though half a second is not very much and seems like such a small amount, it really effected our Video alot and so that bit needed editing perfectly, it took alot of time but we got there in the end.
