Silent Film Project

Silent Film Project is a unsigned band that produce music and for my music video I have emailed them to see if I could use their music video for my project. 

Editing to the beat

This video is a play around of fast editing and the start of the sound has a lot of fast editing, so i has to cut different clips to match the sound of the beat. The more fast the beats are the harder the editing gets, so when cutting this clip it was really difficult to choose the clip so it look right and also get in time with the beat. Shown here the edits are really close together this is because its fast, and it needs to match the beat. If it doesn't match then it doesn't flow with the music.

100 Greatest Music Video.

We have been watching the 100 greatest music video by channel 4 and throughout the video we have been giving a brief talk about the video and what it bring to us.

98- Bronski Beat / small town / 1984

The video is about a gay man who got beaten up for his action and what he believed in, and in part of the video he gets chased by men due to his sexuality.

96 - So Solid Crew / 21 Seconds / 2001

New image
Each member had a duration of 21 seconds to tell people about them.
This was a new style which has never been in britain before.

95 - The Cardigans / My Favourite Game / 1998

Love Affairs shown through Death, Its also involved car crashes to show the love affair it was a strange action to show this.

92 - Herbie Hancock / Rockit / 1983

A very optimistic and soul feeling video.
Funky, Robotic style

88- Elton John / I want Love / 2001

Intense Performance
Elton never liked to make music videos therefore he wouldn't be in one so he got someone else to be in there for his song.
Simmering  Emotions through drug addition and Robert Danny Junior played his role as he had a real addition, which he soon later solved.

86 - Talking Heads / Once in a lifetime / 1981

Abstract Dancing throughout the video, The song was about how we cant control our lives.
The Dancing was to show his artful and how strange and different he was.

85 - Sid Vicious / My Way / 1979

He played more of a Rock and Punk Version of his song
Sid took the mic out of frank Sinatra
The video was recorded in a theatre which it was recorded in a limit space of an hour.

Purpose of a Music Promo video

The reason for a music promo is to promote the song that is being view to the audience, the sing and song writer will want the song to spread to a variety of people so they can hear their song. This will introduce and get people to buy and download the song for them to listen to. The promo is there so it can reach a wide range of audience, this can be done by talk of mouth.

For example : Florence + The Machine - Spectrum

My Favourite Music Video

My favourite music video is Redlight - Get out my Head, I enjoy this song because at the start of the song the editing flows with the beat of the music which makes the song more rhythmic. The song also introduces a lot of dancing, this makes the video look more enjoyable and fun to watch. The other thing that makes me like this song is the contrast between the people in the video it includes indie people and it makes it look like big festival/ Carnival in the street. In the Video it also brings in flowers, which makes the video have more volume and vibrancy to the video.
