Music Video Inspirations and Techniques
The video Disturbia -Rihanna uses editing techniques such as fade edits and blurs which I want to use within my own music video to show a professional understanding of video techniques. I feel these relate to the indie genre as they are abstract and unusual. These techniques will also connote as the artists memories being blurry and unclear to him.
Within this video I like the use of the cuts being on the drum beats, I feel this gives the audience more footage and understanding of the video as well as connecting the cinematography with the sound. I also like the use of the bright coloured flowers spellings out girls which I could possibly do with the most dominant word within my own music video which would be 'fire'. This also relates to and feels like an updated version of Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick.
In this video I like the technique used with lighting as they use car headlights for some shots when the main artist is singing almost as if he is in a spotlight when singing. I think this is unoriginal, abstract and clever use of lighting which I would like to try out and use with my own footage. This will challenge me when working with my characters as it may or may not work. I will also have to film when it is dark therefore I need to take into account warm clothing and drinks for in between shoots.
Kings of Leon - Supersoaker
The video supersoaker - Kings of Leon is a very typical indie-rock music video. Laid back looking clothes, girls with minimal makeup, the video in a cold feel colour and also the use of the music video looking like it is being projected out to us at a cinema screen with rounded edges to look like a projection. I would love to learn and develop my editing skills when it comes to putting my own music video together and be able to give some of my footage the 'cinema' feel. This connects with an audience as cinemas are places that show huge, worldwide, popular movies and Kings of Leon are giving their fans the chance to experience their music video through a cinema like feel. This also could relate to how big the band are across the world and are on par with big movie stars and showings within cinemas.
