The Big Hunt for Overlay


It was an icy cold October when I was cooped in the media suite, taking a break from editing our music video with the song that never left my head for the past month; I went on YouTube, hooked by the school's previous productions and came across this...




I was immensely fascinated by a certain technique used in this music video that I felt could be applicable and provide us with the adrenaline rush needed in aspects of the song where sound was intensified.



After thorough research, I found that this was an effect called overlay that was achieved by placing a clip above another clip (just as shown below) then pressing overlay to allow both of them to play on screen


As a result, we came to this image that we decided to keep in the music video



This effect was also placed on other clips that allowed us to keep up with the tempo increase during and after the bridge of the song, these clips are as shown below:
