Effects That We Like

There are a number of effects that we liked that other programmes and music videos have used before. One main effect that we liked as a group was the splitting of the screen with two different shots. This is what the TV programme 24 use and is an effect that we would like to use in the video. It would be effective to use instead of using basic cuts all the time and different transitions. The idea was to use this effect to show our model in two different places but singing the same part of the song. Another idea that we quite liked, was to use the shot idea from below.

The shot shows FOUR different scenes that are divided over the screen. The shots that are shown above are of exactly the same thing, peoples feet, and in the scene, each person is tapping their feet in exactly the same way. This is an idea that we would like to use in our video. The vision that we have is to have our artist in four (or more) different locations, singing the exact part of the song and in the same position in the shot. This idea would work well as we could establish four different places that we would like to shoot, and then focus on one as the screen expands one quarter of the screen.

In regards to editing, we like the idea of quick cutting when the pace of the song suddenly increases. This is shown in nearly all videos. The pictures below are from Oasis 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'. I have already explained this in a previous post when analysing the video. The song speeds up in regards to the amount of beats. Because of this, there are rapid cuts between shots and within the space of about 5 seconds, there are a total of 10 shots.
As stated, this is an idea that we will definitely want incorporate into our video to add that extra bit of authenticity.
