Music Videos

In this portion of the project, we had to watch two music videos and pull out parts of the video that we thought were creative and wanted to use for our own. The videos we watched were Season 2 Episode 3 by Glass Animals and The Legend of Zelda Rap by Smosh. We gathered very good ideas for our own music video from this porocess. However, for this blog, I will be talking about only Season 2 Episode 3.

In this music video, the video opens up with an old school room with a TV playing, cigarettes, batteries, old food, and other knickknacks litering the floors and shelves. It then shows the main character, a woman, laying on a couch in front of the TV. She changes positions to the beat, something we are taking in a sense. She starts searching for the remote and, as she finds it, she turns the TV on to a strange 8-bit commercial, before eating a spoonful of mayo and a pixel animation of a mouth changes the screen to black. The middle of the video is now an 8-bit like game where she tries to save the singers of the band. After they reward her with a TV remote, she is transported back to the real world on her couch, the camera unmoved from its original position.

With this piece of work, we would take from it the video/beat line ups as well as the story telling, waking up as something else aspect to it. What I already know from this video is, in the live action parts of it, they're doing wide shots and a few closeups.
