Post Production Ideas

Having filmed the majority of my music video and started post production and collation I have been struck with what I think is a marvelous idea. There are two clear divisions in my piece of music and I wish to highlight this. There is the idea of the river and the park and there is the performance of the piece. Consequently to emphasize the difference I think a post production effect could be used . The effect I have in mind is a black and white. Black and white has several meanings to the audience listed below:


  • Semiotic meaning - Link to the past
  • Semiotic meaning - Implication of coldness (literal)
  • Semiotic meaning - Implication of coldness (spiritual)
  • Semiotic meaning - Being Lost
  • Semiotic meaning - Destitution
  • Semiotic meaning - Boredom ( As evidenced by Wizard of Oz Kansas = black and white Oz = Color)

This idea originally came about from the suggestion that I use some of the built in effects of my camera whilst filming. Meaning I ended up with doubles of every shot, including versions in black and white.
