Video Ideas/Inspirations

from 0:47-0:50 there are 3 frames in one shot and one comes up after he says 'skips' and we see each of the 3 shots at the same time but from a different angle.

Video Analysis

Justice - Dance


This video is a unique music video as the whole video just focusses on the different t shirts being shown. We never see a face, just the t shirt with the lyrics on them. The genre of the song is dance and the band is Justice who never feature in their videos as themselves.

This shot works well at the start as the camera is zooming in and going through it and works well as a starting.







The video is mainly focussing on random t shirts with some having lyrics on them. This works well as it's never been done before and it looks really funky.

The images on the t shirt are moving and form into different images and lyrics on them. The video is very unique and something like it hasn't properly been done before and it has been made very effective in this song.

Possible song choice

Nickelback - Rockstar

Video Ideas/Inspirations

Kid Cudi - Make Her Say


I like the way this video has two landscape frames and I know how to achieve this effect in Final Cut Express and this could possibly be used in my final piece.

Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand

The second video is chose was Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce. This song belongs to the Dance/Pop category however this isn't portrayed in the video. There are no lyrics to this song apart from 'Barbra Streisand' and a lot of 'woo'ing.

This video really provides pleasure in watching as it has so many famous artists in it such as Kanye West, Pharrell, Ryan Leslie, Armand Van Helden, Chromeo, Clipse, and I'm sure there are many more who I cannot name. This makes the viewer want to watch the video again to try and name all the famous people that are in it and it would make us wonder that if there are this many famous names in this video it must be good. I like this video because it makes me really happy and there's no particular story to the video just a bunch of famous people saying 'Barbra Streisand'.

 This is Armand Van Helden. The stuff that is going on in the video is really random and irrelevant and there is no real story line behind the song.

 This is Kanye West. Again another random scene but it entices the viewer to keep watching as Kanye West is famous worldwide and it would make us wonder why he's in the video. There isn't really a reason why the list of famous people are in this video!

Pharrell just saying 'Barbra Streisand' to add to the list of famous musicians in this music video participating for Duck Sauce.

KiD CuDi - Memories

I like this music video because it's different due to the randomness of the video. The lyrics are not represented in the video however they are shown on the frame at some points in the video. The song belongs to the dance genre and it is portrayed in the video to an extent.

 As you can see from the reflection in the windows we can see the camera crew who seem to be naked ladies with the lyrics covering their bodies. I don't know what the point of this but I feel it works well as I've never seen something like it before.

 From this shot we can infer that this music video belongs to the dance genre as he is spinning DJ decks and we can assume he's a DJ producing the track.

 This also backs it up that the song belongs to a dance genre as it looks as if he's at some sort of party atmosphere dancing.

 We see from the mirror the naked camera crew again with lyrics on them.

This shows the DJ working at the party.

I feel that this video achieves in making us want to watch the video again is because of the quirkiness of it and the mystery of what is actually happening and hopefully a few more watches will help us to understand it fully. The video is performance based as it is generally following KiD CuDi just walking through the street singing his lyrics.
