The first shot is of the antagonist fading in from nothing, slowly becoming opaque.
Personally, I think very little of this video, mainly due to my own errors - I couldn't gather enough usable footage to create a viable three minute video, so instead I settled for an atrocious one minute one. What I could have done to improve is organize a better shooting schedule, and make copies of the shots for my own personal safety. Alas, I believe the sound to video synchronization to be alright in some areas, so there are some positives. More shots of the artist would have been preferable, and the song name, artist name and company name and logo would have made this a better product over all.
The effects I used on Premier Pro was layering and opacity, to make the opening shot seem like the character was fading in, dissolving to black, a personal favorite transition of mine, and making a clip play in slow motion.
As far as continuity goes, there is a coherent story, albeit ambiguous.
