Point 7- Things from Other Videos We Would Like to Include In Our Own.

The first video I am going to talk about is a song called Schöne Seele by Crooks UK.

Here is the link to the video:



I am going to be talking about Lighting in this video. I really like the use of Sunlight coming through a window as the main source of light in the video. I would really like to incorporate this into our final video. Also Crooks use tall lamps to also lighten the room along with the sunlight. I like the use of lamps as it gives the video a kind of vintage feel as well as being the only source of light when they use the dark Filter which I also really like. If we where to incorporate the filter and the lamp being the only source of light in the video we would have to use colour gels over the lights we will use in our video.




The second video I am going to talk about is Actors by Don broco.

Here is the link to the video:



I am going to talk about the editing in this video. The main thing I like about the editing in this video is that different range of editing techniques. One editing technique I really liked and I would like to incorporate into my own video is a white fade out between shots. I found this technique interesting and the use of it in the video made me want to use it in my own music video.

Point 6 - Our track, the genre of this track and the lyric video to this track

 Our track is Secrets by State Champs. The genre of this track is Pop Punk. The history of pop-punk cannot be neatly explained and packaged into a tight little box. It's complicated, messy, and spills over into multiple genres among fusing with others. It's not easy to understand unless you're someone with deep roots and a serious interest in the scene, but it's manageable. 

Here are some characteristics of Pop Punk 

Characteristics


  • Lots of shots of band playing
  • Sometimes back story 
  • Jumping in between the narrative 
  • A stage 
  • Snap backs 
  • Having Fun on stage 
  • Looking like the band his having fun on stage
Lots of Pop Punk videos have the same characteristics however here are 3 Pop Punk videos which are very famous.





















Here is the link to the lyric video of our track-

Lip Syn and Band Sync

At the start of the course we watched lots of clips of music videos in class and talked about lip sync, band sync and single shot. Here is my research on 2 music videos on lip sync band sync and single shot


David Bowie Lets Dance Lip Syncing and Band Syncing

  • Band Syncing was shocking. Guitar was used mostly as a prop and double bass was completely out of time. 
  • Lip Syncing was pretty good i didn't notice any faults

Killer Queen- Queen- top of the pops 1974

  • band and lip sync are on point. Band looks towards Freddie Mercury the lead singer for guidance of syncing in my opinion. Apart from that the syncing is well disguised.
