Problems.

I have been trying to add fades in so that two shots are shown at once. I planned to do this in my story boarding because I thought it would create more of an interesting narrative. I have been figuring out how to do this and have managed to successfully do it. However, now I want to do another faded shot it is not working as the fade won't go over both shots and only just one, so I am trying to solve the problems trying different techniques and playing around a bit with the effects. This fade will enhance the meaning behind the song as the two shots I first faded together happen when the lyrics say "they're just living in my head". The artist has the first shot then the shot of the female fades in then it fades out again. This enphasizes the fact that it is her who he is thinking about which is interesting to watch and has a meanning behind the shot as well.

Here is how I managed to do the faded sequence:

Also, I am unable to use the inspired ideas from the Rihanna 'We found love' music video as I tried the projections and it looked too unprofessional. Unfortunately we do not have the equipment available to project a good quality image onto a quality screen. I have the original ideas to use instead of the inspired projection shots so, the music video will still be heavily narrative instead of narrative/performance heavy.
