POST 20 - FINAL PRACTICE VIDEO TASK

We were given the task to create a one minute music video of original footage. We were put into groups and given a choice of a number of songs to choose from. We had to either do a music video in one take or one in the style of director Wes Anderson.

Here is a Wes Anderson Music Video...

Here you can see Wesley has a specific style to his music video. With an Indie or Alternative style of music he uses a abnormal and quirky conventions to match the genre but also create originality and creativity within his style to help with recognition as you can link his style to his name as it stands out more than other styled music videos. He uses one or two characters and also the use of giving objects life form but alternatively only one or two protagonists. More so, the characters get most of the screen time and fill the whole camera angle to show their importance. He Also uses a story line to create purpose but also a mini film which co-insides with the music.

 We chose to do a one take music video to She's So Lovely- Scouting For Girls





We did some research into one take music videos. OK Go are a band who are known famously for their one take music videos. We watched a number if their music videos looking for inspiration for ideas and the motivation they have to get everything absolutely perfect in one take. Some of the OK go videos we looked at are:


OK Go- This Too Shall Pass







OK Go- Here it Goes Again







OK Go- Needing/Getting




For our own video we actually used our first idea of a girl sitting on a bench and a guy is admired by her so goes over.




Here is our One take music video inspired by Scouting for girls:
