So today I was sat editing in the media room when I saw that I had quite a lot of gaps in my video that needed filling. I watched a couple existing media products and saw that it was common for the artist to be seen singing to the camera in front of a colored background. I chose two different backgrounds as shown. I chose the red because red imagery connotes blood and danger in media texts which relates to the theme of decay in my video.
A very common convention of music videos in the electropop genre is the use of shape symbolism. I did not use the exact image shown because I could not find the one I used but this was very similar.
