Research into Music Videos by Chosen Artist

The problem with this is that Stan SB doesn't have any music videos. So instead we have chosen to look at music videos by other artists within the same genre. We think that this is the best thing we can do because he doesn't have any videos.

Time - Chase and Status

This is a very down to earth music video that portrays an important message and that is why I like it. It is also similar to what we want to produce in a way as we want to show an argument going on between a couple but ours will not feature any domestic violence. From a technical aspect this is also a very good, when the tempo increases during the chorus the cuts are to the beat of the music. The mise in some shots, such as the one of the man in the cell is excellent. This shot has been filmed with a wide angle lens to make his surroundings stand out to make him look smaller in the frame to make him look more isolated, which is how we see him as a result of his actions.

Me and You - Nero

This music video from Nero called "Me and You" is really good in my opinion, this is because it mixes real life with a video game and that is a cool concept. I like how the editing has been done, I think that it goes with the video and song well. The camera shots and angles make this music video feel really realistic at the beginning and you wouldn't expect it to then go into a video game. I also didn't expect this music video to show parts of a video game but it does and that makes this music video feel modern and perhaps futuristic.

There are quite a few shots in this music video (around 160), this is a very respectable amount for a music video in this genre although I did expect the shots to be edited along with the song so when there is a beat there is a cut but other than that, I think this music video is a good one to take some ideas from for our music video.

Witchcraft - Pendulum

This music video, along with a large amount of other Pendulum videos (such as Watercolour), is largely reliant on the editing capabilities used in post production. A large amount of CGI and green screen used to create a lot of the images, such as the tower of blocks being built/rebuilt at 1:55.
As for the use of the camera, there are not many stable shots used in this video; most of them are created by shaking the camera while recording (however may have also been done during the editing stage).

There are numerous shots of the band playing in a near pitch-black environment, possibly used to outline band, however the lighting used in these shots does not always allow you to see them completely; sometimes they look more like silhouettes.
