Phoebe and I sat down at the computer and started looking at the footage collected. There was so much of it, it was ridiculous! In order to find a starting point, we opened up Safari and went to my blog to have a look at the Animatic post and watch the YouTube clip. We found what we'd planned to have at the beginning and started dragging and trimming the clips of the Soldier's letters and the picture of him on the mantle into a sequence for the beginning of the music video.
We'd been playing around with the opacity of some of the clips, in order to have them overlap each other. This is reminiscent of memories, and fits in with the idea of the artist remembering the soldier and her as a couple, going on dates, and longing for his return.
We then started to edit the clips of the New Lover and artist together. These were really beautifully filmed clips which looked really professional, helped by the filming of the clips on Kirsty's camera. We fiddled with the opacity again to create the dream feeling, which worked as the New Lover and artist were in bed together. It also made the footage a little more tasteful.
