Plug in Baby by Muse.
amazingly interesting video. i love watching them perform =D and i love the effects on this video too XD i am inspired by the way similar shots are used to creat different effects, and how the band are portrayed so positively throughout thier performance.
i will attempt to use the same edit for my band performance, to show them as energetic and playful, although the song style is different to Muse.

my pitch
yeaassss, its FINALLY here!
i tried putting this on my blog yesterday, but it wouldnt work. which was annoying.
the other reason it took me a while was that i couldn't find someone to play the main character. so i greatly thank the little boy that agreed to this part =)

my band performance shoot
i had two shoots, in which the second one was more successful. the chosen location was in my back garden, and we used balloons for effect...
the official band members:
Jack Ford- vocalist
Jack Cooper- guitarist
Steph Woodward- bassist
Will Couper- drummer
and a massive thank you to all of them for being so patient with me- they really helped me out.
they came up with the idea of using balloons to make the setting cheerful, and most of all, they provided such laughs i will always remember haha! =D
so really, thanks

Andrew Goodwin's theories.
What is a music video?
• Scenes and pictures incorporated to music. the main use of a music video is to promote the band or the single that has been released, which in turn promotes the album. Can have a highly complex narrative that has personal meaning to either the viewer or the band members.
• There is quite often a significant use of intertextuality.
• “It always offers something to look at and something upon which we need to reflect.”~ Andrew Goodwin
• Theorist Michael Shore concludes that music videos consist of the following: “recycled styles…simulated experience…information overload…vanity and the moment…speed, power girls and wealth…album art come to turgid life…clichéd imagery”
• A music video contains performance clips (when the artist/ band are performing) and/or conceptual clips (where something else is shown through the duration)
• The three main factors that make a music video are: music, lyrics and image.
• Music --> the other two factors are often tied down to the beat of the music.
• Lyrics --> can create a poetic experience. The greater the leap between the content of the lyrics and the imagery, the more difficult for viewers to understand and interpret this context.
• The image must be understood to understand the music. The director creates ideas that are often repeated and emphasised through lighting, colour, clothing, footage etc etc.
