Using
Final Cut editing software, I
manipulated the brightness and
contrast of my original
footage (left) and added a Matte
Choca filter on top of it to create the black and white effect on my footage.

Editing
shots I filmed of my friends both male and female, in a natural setting to
capture realistic behaviours
and footage to be represent the
youth, to enforce the theme of the song which is urban but rural. Using the
blade tool (Ctrl B), I cut sections of the footage I wanted to include that
best went with the song. I specifically cut
and included parts of my footage where my friends
where smiling or laughing because the lyrics of the song are about the felling
of euphoria you get in a club so I thought, another way to represent this is
through laughter and smiling.
