There are many stories in the wizarding world. Probably the biggest is that of Harry James Potter, the boy who lived and conquered the dark lord.

However, Harry's story was not the only central one happening. Whilst he and his friends were struggling year after year, other students experienced their own problems and triumphs. Each student is unique, they all have their past, present and future.

It's time to take a turn in the magical world that wasn't in the original books.

Okay, here are some pointers and my thoughts on it.

Firstly, the golden rule of making any music video. Make it fit. I find it hard to make music videos because it has to fit to the rhythm. Not only that, it has to fit to the actual lyrics and theme.
I've seen too many videos where I can see the editor has just thought
"Hey this is an awesome track! I'll slap it onto my favorite movie/game/show clips."

Typically I use orchestral and abstract music (i.e no lyrics) whenever I make a video. Likewise with any trailers I do.

Upon that, the song/artist. Don't use Linkin Park. I say this for three reasons:-

  • It is over-used
  • 9 times out of 10, it does not fit.
  • There are better bands.
Yes Linkin Park is very over-used. Now this is all well if you are not putting it on the net, but as it's on Youtube, it's probably been done before. Additionally, it needs to fit as I said before.
If you dig deep enough you'll find there are better artists out there. I'm not just referring to their actual music either. I'm more talking along the lines of music that is recorded for trailers (which can also be used in Music Videos). Usually this music is not up for grabs to the general public. They are usually recorded for film industries and you can't buy the tracks. Some are though - what says you can't use the actual soundtrack from the film?

As for this actual video, I'm going to rate it 6/10. It kind of fits to the music but could be vastly improved. Tell your finance: Good effort, and keep trying. :)

While the picture quality may be at best fuzzy, I thought this was excellent. The clips were brilliantly used and I thought the music fit the piece well.

7/10 :D
