Inspiration


The reason we have chosen these videos for inspiration is fairly simple , firstly we have chosen the first three videos as they all have a similar set-up to what we want to achieve , all three have kept it very simple with the layout of their equipment , especially with " The Jam- Going Underground " as this video is just a white studio and the band with their instruments. The video is very basic and stripped back , but is so effective and works very well. We want to take two approaches when filming our video , a basic , simple approach in a studio firstly , but also adding something a bit different for a second approach to the video. The other two videos within the three are still very simplistic , but are slightly more advanced like " The Strypes - Hometown Girls " they have kept the basic equipment set-up but have took the setting to the next level by moving to an abandoned building and treating it as a studio which is very effective.For the other two videos there is a drastic change in the complexity as they require a lot more skill , after coming together we decided we like the concept of challenging ourselves with the second part to our video , and rather liked these two video ideas.With " Bombay Bicycle Club-Always Like This " they have played around with their footage , fast forwarding parts , playing parts normally and pausing parts which makes for a very good video. Also the little icons in the corner showing what the camera is doing gives the video a very retro feel , our problem being we do not have a sufficient old enough camera to achieve this look , so came to the conclusion that we would need to film our footage from a television to give the video the effects it needs.Also with " Vampire Weekend - A-Punk " this video is very very simple but when watching it looks very complicated but excellent to look at. Collectively as a group this was our favourite idea , but again for us has its difficulties.We would need to download our track into a music editing programme, then speed up the tempo of the track and save it , then do our performance at this speed but when it comes to creating the final video play our song at normal speed over the top so it looks as if everything has been sped up.If done well this idea could be very successful.

  1. Make sure the embed for each video is the same size. I can show you how to do this if you need help.
