This first draft was a very early edit where I had none of the narrative clips, and so instead I experimented with chroma keying in order to get the 'ghost' in the backdrop of the lip syncing. It worked slightly better than I thought, however, wasn't perfect as it was filmed on a white backdrop and not a green screen as I didn't initially intend to do this. It gave an interesting effect, however, and could work really well with the theme of the song.

This second video is my 'real' first draft, submitted as part of a mock exam. This edit features the planned narrative scenes.

The first few clips of Victoria walking to the door (approx. 0-8 secs) were slowed by about 50% and purposely recorded out-of-focus and wobbly as I aimed to portray the main character's 'drunkenness' through the cinematography. The slow motion doesn't work quite as well as I had hoped due to the frame rate that the clips were recorded at, although it arguably adds to the effect.

The next clip begins the main character's lip syncing. These clips were evidently underexposed during recording, and Victoria is standing too close to the backdrop as it casts a shadow, which are both things I didn't realise until the editing process as I wanted to make the background entirely white however adjusting the light exposure would start to wash Victoria out. For this reason, I might want to consider re-filming these clips.
