Filming and Editing/Reshoots

 Filming and Editing/Reshoots

Firstly, I made the decision to use a black and white filter when the younger version of the war veteran was on to show the fact that it was in the past and that it was a past version of the war veteran.

There were also many shots/edits which I purposely made sure went in time with the beat (obviously the lip syncing was the same). Some examples of this include when the younger version of the war veteran was beating the ground and the tree in anger, when the camera kept flicking back and forth from the war veteran and his younger self walking/saluting etc.

Some shots (like the last shot of the video) I purposely slowed down to make sure that the right 'feel' or mood came across; the last clip was supposed to be sad since the war veteran was visiting the grave of his fallen soldier comrade.

Some shots had to be re-shot since they were too long and didn't include a wide enough range of shots. Many more close-up shots were added to both add a bigger range of shots and break up longer videos, with birds-eye-view shots/overhead shots also being used.
