Critical reflection

this reflection covers questions i was given to answer based on my coursework

 

social media

 For the social media page, i ended up using my secondary account to post the digipak while using the song as well

It was a good run

 Thanks for joining me through my journey in year 13 media. Until we meet again.

Final product

 Here's the final music video

digipak

 

For my digipak i used a visual that had my friend Sean, who is a character in the music video, for the cover. it was a very simplistic design but i still like it.

Post-Production – Premiere Pro & CapCut Combo

For post-production, I did most of the editing and color grading in Adobe Premiere Pro. I focused on smooth transitions, rhythmic cuts, and keeping the pacing aligned with the song’s unpredictable structure. Color grading played a huge role too – I leaned into soft tones with a slightly vintage feel to match the laid-back, nostalgic vibe.

For text animations and little stylistic touches, I used CapCut. It was quick, intuitive, and perfect for adding captions, lyrics, and minimal effects without overloading the look. The mix of both tools helped me create a polished but personal final product.

Filming Locations – Ambrose’s House, My House & the Road Near School

Filming was split between three main spots: Ambrose’s house, my house, and the road near school. Ambrose’s place had the perfect chill vibe for natural, fun moments – dancing, laughing, and laid-back scenes.

At my house, I focused more on solo shots and reflective moments, capturing a calmer tone to balance the energy from the other scenes. It gave me more control over lighting and setup too.

The road near school added movement and variety – perfect for walking shots and transitions. Each location brought a different vibe, and together they helped tell the story I wanted visually.
