Overview

Music Video Project

For this project, I was part of a team of three people. Our aim was to contact a small, local band and produce a music video for a track of their choice. We all had individual roles as a group and I was director and editor, meaning I was responsible for the organising of group meetings and band shoots, as well as editing the footage into a music video.

The song’s genre is punk metal which is portrayed through the destorted visuals and fast cuts of the music video.

Title Sequence Project

This is a title sequence for a made-up film. The genre of film that I chose was psychological thriller. I chose this genre because of its unique story-telling, allowing my creativity to thrive. This genre is portrayed through the use of low-camera angles, dark and blurred visuals, and depressing music as it evokes a sense of mystery and unease, forcing the audience to question the scene.
