Music Video - Crossing Field

 



 
As we were able to choose who we wanted to work with and choose our own music for the video I wanted to work with Tara because we both listen to an artist on YouTube that has done English covers of Japanese theme songs from different anime. Therefore, we decided on an anime that we have both recently watched and the main theme song, this lead to us choosing ‘Crossing Field’ by ‘AmaLee’. The song for this video is about friendship and love, so we decided that the live action would be the friendship and the anime to so love and compassion. We wanted to make our music video a tribute to both the artist and the anime so we have to search for some footage from the anime. The anime that this song belongs to is ‘Sword Art Online’, using the opening theme to this anime helps both me and Tara because we can use clips to help promote the anime.

Editing

 
When we got to the editing room and put our footage on to ‘Avid’, I renamed the clips with lyrics from the song, so that I was going to use the right clips and I can start to make a story, this was the start of my raw footage so I knew at the start of the video I wanted a snap edit to change from Tara to me to show the quick changes and that you friend is never far away when you need them.

When putting all the correct clips together I was listening to the song and watching as to where the clips should be placed because I didn’t want any clips that would be out of sync with the music. Once I had done this for the first verse I then chose certain words in the chorus that I wanted the anime to represent for example when she sings ‘I’m knocked around or beaten down’, I wanted I a clip of Kirito being knocked to the ground, this helps to link the music with the anime.
