TRACK CHOICES AND INITIAL IDEAS

INITIAL TRACK CHOICES

1. The Adored- T.V Riot
2. The Duke Spirit- Dark Is Light Enough
3. Supergrass- La Song

1. Our group initially thought that this genre, being indie/rock, uses conventions that can be easily implemented in our videos. One convention is that they are shot to give the impression of live performance, often on a stage, set up as an amateur gig. Secondly, in terms of editing, it is usually cut and edited to the pace of the music, and we could then use similar techniques to create a varied tempo within the video. Performance based videos create an imersive environment which we feel would benefit what we are striving to achieve in the video, also a live act would enhance the viewing of our music video.

2. Like above, this indie/rock music video conveys conventions that as a group we feel would benefit our style. There is a lot of individual guitar playing in the piece, and this performance related technique could be used by the group to great effect. Also, we could effectively use the fast pace to our advantage, to edit and cut around it, making the cuts quick and often.

3. This music video is similar to the above two in that it fits the genre of indie/rock. We liked the gradual start to the video, creating a climax, as this could be effectively used by our group to build up the performance and therefore provide the viewers with a contrast in tempo. Generally, the videos are low budget, with locations that are often in parks, garages and sheds. This appeals to us as it could easily be achieved by our group.
