For my music video, I have old home videos from my childhood that I plan to potentially use in the editing stage. These clips align with the themes of nostalgia, memory, and the female character’s emotional journey, as well as with the song chosen for my music video.
At this stage, I will not edit the footage or apply any effects, as I am simply uploading and reviewing them so that they're available for reference during production and post-production. I do not want to modify these videos except for cutting them and using shorter fragments, as they're quite long, and a music video usually tends to have a montage of shorter shots. Keeping the footage raw allows me to have the flexibility to later decide how they could be integrated with the other elements, such as the mixed media illustrations or colour grading.
These are just to ensure that I have valuable material ready for experimentation in the later stages, in order to support the emotional themes of childhood and nostalgia. I think their rawness would add authenticity to my music video. By including such personal childhood videos, I can construct the female character’s identity, showing her emotional journey and nostalgic experiences in a relatable way. This can link to Stuart Hall's representation theory, where he argues that the media does not simply reflect reality, but actively constructs the meaning through images, symbols, and narratives.
