After playing around in After Effects for a while i was still struggling with effects to use on my video. In the end i stumpled upon a program called Trapcode - Particular and decided to use that in my video.
Trapcode - Particular allows you to use a particle engine to manipulate any way you wish.
One of my thoughts was to have particles exploding to the beat around the ball, however after trying this with a number of different versions i couldn't get the effect that i desired.
However i did manage to get something that sprayed the particles working quite well so i decided to try and implement that. I found that by putting a "sprayer" in two of the corners of the video it gave an effect that i liked so i decided to work with that.
This is the effect i achieved.
