In the above screenshot, I have shown how I have cut and edited the song by removing part of it and placing footage over the top. I have also lowered the sound  whilst allowing the footage to play over the top of it as I felt that this would have a significant effect. By doing this, I felt it would clearly show that what they seeing is actually what the main character is dreaming and by lowering the sound and showing the footage of the character sleeping at the same time, I feel that it has made it clearer to the audience that it is all a dream.

In the above screenshot, I have shown the effect that I have used more than once throughout my product so far. I used this 'X RAY' effect over the top of certain shots in order to create the effect of distortion and confusion. I feel that this works very well and it has been used to fit in time with the song.

The above screenshot shows the effect that I have used a number of times throughout the music video. I decided to colourise the shots which have had the zoom effect added to them as I felt this accompanied the transition well and helped to create the effect of confusion that I was aiming to achieve.

Above arrow of the effects that I have decided to use over the top of my original footage. They are both fairly distorted and this gives the effect that the person in the video is confused or lost which fits to the story line. The first image is used in the establishing shot at the beginning of the music video and gives the effect that the person is reliving a memory from the past or is confused about something. The second screenshot shows the effect that has been used a number of times on a certain beat which occurs throughout the song. This effect allows for a better flowing transition between shots.

I have made the decision to trim and cut some parts out of the original song as I feel that some parts were unnecessary and would have been hard to produce footage for. the original length was around 5 and a half minutes however I trimmed it down to around 3 and a half minutes instead.
