Unfortunately there is no embedding code for Ellie's Under the Sheets music promo so the link above will have to be suffice until the code becomes available. I have chosen to post this video due to the gorgeous editting throughout. Ellie is hazilly doubled throughout and I also like her take on the flashing lights effect.
Below are stills that capture the camera effects that have inspired me;
(0.52 min)
This is an effect that is repeated throughout the vid. Ellie is shot singing the same part of the song but is standing/looks different as it is two different frames vaguely merged onto one screen. The addition of light spotting gives the scene a magical feel.
(0.56 min)
The light spotting mist across the screen gives the scene, again, a more magical feel. In action, this scene is a blur of warm, flashing lights. A really nice take on the filming technique that lights up the whole screen.
(1.13 min)
Again, Ellie's scenes are merged vaguely into one, this time with a more close-up shot of her face which is a more emotion fuelled shot and reflects the part of the song well.
(2.43 min)
At this point in the promo, Ellie's image is duplicated and slightly overlaps. It reminds me of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody video slightly, not sure why- maybe it's the way that the images are lined up??
(2.57 min)
Towards the climax/end of the promo. An image of Ellie drumming gold dust is combined with a high saturated light spotting shot which altogether creates a beautiful burst of lisght and energy. Flashing lights inspiration anyone?!
l.o.v.e it
Here are more videos that we have been looking at that use effects such as mirroring, flashing lights and merging screens:
