For my A level music video, I want to include a wider variety of shot types in order to develop my editing skills to create a more varied and interesting piece of work.
This video was created by Messe Kopp and it is a perfect
example of how backwards video techniques have evolved over recent years. It
uses all the things that you would normally see in a backwards video and contains a very interesting narrative that is easy to follow. I also find that the backwards
technique adds a complete new dynamic to the video as well so it really is
interesting and appeasing to watch. The whole scene
works really well to develop a narrative and create something different to other music videos so you can already start to see how the backwards technique is
becoming more and more prominent in today's industry. I have seen other music videos that use this same technique in only a few scenes. Using this in parts as apposed to the entire music video still holds onto the interesting look and creates more depth for the visual.
I decided to replicate this editing technique, but instead of doing so throughout, I would select appropriate clips for a purpose. This purpose is to show the passing of time in an interesting way. I have applied this technique to for different clips. These all follow the same pattern where the character walks in through the front door in one outfit (in forward effect), the same shot in reversed so that they go back out of the door, and then another clip is shown directly after of him coming in and reversing out in another outfit (to show how its a different day). I kept the continuity in these clips by applying the same speed duration to each cli so that he moves in and out at the same speed, I cut all the clips so that they are the same length and kept the camera in exactly the same position for each shot. This makes the shots seem more unified, despite being shot separately. The audience will be able to easily recognise that these two shots are meant to work together to create a symbolism of the passing of time.

Then I altered the speed and duration using the option bar on right click. I sped the clips up by 140% and reversed the duplicate clips:
