The Rewind

A key feature of our music video is that it features a 'rewind', and in order to distinguish the difference between the rewind and the original narrative, we needed to make it clear, and by doing so we thought it was our best shot to change the colour of the rewind to make it stand out to the viewer. 

We decided on a 'vintage' effect which we collectively felt tied in exceptionally well with the atmosphere of the video and subtly shows the viewer that this is a 'rewind'. Once this was decided, Zach then created three different rewind options, of which we would decide on one final rewind; the brightness altered in each one, which meant that all three had essentially created different moods for the video. 

In order to create the rewind clip for our music video, we would need to reverse all the clips previous to the rewind and then speed them up. We didn't include any lip synching in the rewind as it is separate from the narrative and may also cause confusion and we wanted to keep the rewind as simple as possible for it's full effect. 

Below is a screenshot of our footage on Final Cut and how one can go about 'reversing' a clip in order to create a rewind for a music video.
