Final major project
- 4. Filming a performance based video is good for when you want to use more lighting. The lighting adds a dramatic effect and can go well with up beat songs. It adds a technique on camera shots too, you have more to work with and more to film. I got the inspiration from King for a Day/Shout, by Green Day, the transformation from black and white to original colour keeps the video different in each shot, the movement of the camera makes you feel like you’re there, this is a really good effect. However this would be difficult to put together to film. Watching The Fratellis, Chelsea Dagger, music video, you can see the excitement. Watching a performance based video really brings out the music. You’re watching the band perform and seeing the crowd dancing and singing along can really make you want to be there.
- 7. Narrative videos are good when you want to portray the lyrics and show they have meaning. Having characters helps bring out the characters in the song. This won’t be that difficult to do because you can find simple locations and people to act for you. I had the idea for using characters from When the sun goes down, by Arctic Mon keys. The way there is a grey tint over the scenes through out the whole video, enhances the meaning to the lyrics, and that is the point to having a Narrative video. On the other hand, you will have to write a script and make sure the lighting is right for each scene, this can be a lot of work and will take more time to do.
- 10. Performing live music videos are similar to performance based music videos. However, these kind of videos have a crowd and a stage. Videos such as Valarie by Amy Winehouse, it is filmed far back so you can see the crowd and the stage in the background. Some angles are from the stage. This shows the bands point of view. This kind of video is good for really showing the music because you see how the audience enjoy listening to the band. It can be difficult to put together, although I think it will be worth it because this form of music video is really exciting and interesting.
