This is the rough cut I showed to my classmates. I haven't developed it much since then, so I still have a lot to improve.
Personally, I like the posterized effects and the colours in the end because it gives the video some brightness apart from the lip sync. I also like the way the video builds up to the end because in the beginning I thought there wouldn't be enough time left in the song to create the ending scene. However it worked so I'm glad about that.
What I don't like about the video is that the black and white isn't as dark as I wanted. Even some of my classmates pointed that out in the peer feedback so I'll have to change that.
I'm also not satisfied with the many different lip syncs. I may have added too many scenes of lip syncing so deleting some of them might be a good idea. When I was editing, I didn't realise how big the lips showed on screen so if I were to still use that scene, I'll make it much smaller. Maybe even show my nose.
Near the end there are short bits of paper falling, powder falling etc which looks very deliberate because each scene is too short and unsatisfying. I'll either delete it or make the scene longer.
Although the build up is quite good (in my opinion), I don't think the picture in the end is shown very well. Considering the long build up, I think the picture should be shown more grandly. I've taken several videos of the zoom out/in of the image so I may consider using other shots.
