Although my previous research into negativizing effects in a Christina Aguilera video and a Beck video were useful in displaying the effect such edits can have in reflecting a song's tone and atmosphere, my audience feedback suggested that specific research into outdoor editing and the extremeties of such edits would be essential in comprehending my own limits with the process of applying colourisation and negativising (especially in relation to an outdoor scenario). It was suggested that 'Eurythmics' video for 'Sweet Dreams perfectly exemplified such edits.
As seen above, the editing is not overly distracting from Annie Lennox or the other figures within the outdoors shots (e.g. the cows) yet gives the video and implied sense of abnormality within the video, which whilst not patently obvious to the reader creates an undeniable sense of unease throughout. This is the sort of atmosphere I wish to create in my own music video.
