I liked the idea of being able to tell a story through the setup from location to weather but the thing that always stands out for me in terms of working cohesively with the story is the theme/colour scheme. I’m not good at expressing myself through words so I really had the feels for this project as compared to the “Perspectives” idea that I scrapped. The title of the video (Who Needs Words Anyway?)  is kind of an exasperation kind of thing, because my inability to formulate thoughts as words annoys me LOL. I also felt like this would help out with my final film which would also follow the same concept.

At first even though I was really excited to start, I didn’t know how to. While researching on “colour psychology” I found this video that gave me an idea on how I could put together the video clips to show the changes in colour corresponding to the changes in the  mood/tone (down the colour spectrum).

used only music videos because they’re shorter (~ the final film’s length) so it’s more likely to show more emotion in a shorter timespan. Also 老师 said that I should use clips instead of stills (I was planning to put the stills in a flipbook-esque format to show the progression of colour) like I intended to because “it makes more sense” so I compiled around 2-5s snippets from over 30 M/Vs and arranged them from black – starting with aqua – ending with green – and exiting with white [the black and white were added just to complete the spectrum]. Initially wanted to do vibrance & saturation but maybe I’ll leave that for the final proj because it didn’t fit in with this one.
