Music videos

The following are various music videos that i have found on youtube to provide me with inspiration and ideas that i may use within my music video.

The Coral - In The Morning

I have chosen this video due to the abstract editing involved where many shots of the video have been photographed and on top of that acetate has been applied allowing colour to be drawn over the top creating an animated/abstract effect. I like this because it is different to most conventional music videos, the effect of the colouring manipulates the mood and maintains the audiences attention with the fast pace transitions of shots and colouring.


The Kooks - Oh La

This video represents the style and genre of the band the kooks. I like the black and white film as this contribute to the setting and date featured within the music video while aslo reflecting the kooks personal style and persona, in addtion props have been used to create this effect, such as the microphones when playing a set.


Kate Nash - Nicest Thing (Animation)




I have included this video in my research as we found that the animation would be and effective way of capturing the audience as it is original and we could explore different effects during the process.


Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

This video shows great example of computer animation where the band members have been transformed into an animated character. The resemblance of this video is of a computer game; the convention of computer animation isn't often used with music videos therefore a gap in the industry. Although an advantage of animation is that it widens audiences as younger fans find it easier to follow and can relate it to cartoons.
