The shots are very similar to many other real music videos and have been inspired by real music videos. Following are a few slides, firstly showing an example of a shot from a real music video then followed by an example of a shot used in my video that follows a similar convention.

The editing pace of my music video follows the conventions of many real music videos as the pace changes every 3-5 seconds and to the beat. As it can not be shown through images please refer to my music video on ‘YouTube’ to see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zl-96Sp1HQ

My music video developed the conventions of real music videos through the location as it was filmed outside an abandoned mental asylum. Some artists have created a setting like this before, however as my music video was independent and low budget I did not have the means to create a set and filmed it outside a real abandoned mental asylum. Following are images of the location in which my music video was filmed.

Oak House

My music video has also developed conventions of real music videos through colour. Not many music videos are in grayscale however I felt it was necessary for mine to be throughout as it fit with the genre of the music and the location. Some music videos have certain sections in grayscale however mine is grayscale throughout.
