Week 6: Risk Assessment & Video Research.

Coming to the end of week 5 and the start of week 6, we all think its mandatory to upload our risk assessment made on the music video; as well as extra research.

Risk Assessment:


Visual Research:

All the tracks below have been taken from the site 'YouTube'. We have read their terms of use and are not planning to distribute these tracks in any commercial way, they are just an asset/example to our  coursework.

Tracks Beneath as follows:

  • Bloc Party -Talons (Commented)
  • The Strokes- Reptilla (Commented)
  • Kings of Leon- Sex is on Fire (Not Commented)
  • Bloc Party- Hunting For Witches (Not Commented) 
Bloc Party
Talons


The above video is our main inspiration as in what kind of effects and story we want to capture in our own.  The fast camera movement, colloquial shots throughout leaves the viewer un-easy and un-sure what is genuinely happening. The Neon Chrome colors makes us think that wherever these people they are, its futuristic or imprisonment. 

The foundation of our music video is based around this one. We will follow the same connotations and ideas of the above but with the flare of our own imagination as well as skills contributing to it. 
The Strokes


We have chosen to include this video in our visual research down to the way its filmed. The shoddy movement, extreme close ups, over the shoulder shots and high angle shots are used regularly giving the audience the feel that their up and amongst the band, close and personal.

Filming from within the crowd also gives the audience the feel of, while watching at home they can be within the crowd enjoying the live performance. Id like to include alot of these ideas in our music video; we have a story-line and its not live, regardless we will include the various ways its been shot, consistently.

Kings Of Leon

Bloc Party

The lack of videos above is due to the update of youtube; their embedding program for each video has been disabled within the time window of updating this blog.

Links to the videos have been inputted to browse at your own leisure until the embedding has been inputted by the group, it will be completed shortly.

It's no good linking to these videos if you aren't going to analyse them in some way and explain how they are going to relate to your own decision making. You must contextualise them!

Having limited time in the class itself we do plan to, once our primary objectives have been completed: Storyboard animatic.

They were uploaded to show you what kind of feel we want from the music video, and these examples capture that.

Stay tuned...
