Features That Will Influence Our Video
I have now evaluated three videos by bands associated with the 'Pop-Rock' genre. In this post I am going to explain what features from the videos I evaluated that I shall incorporate into my music video due to there effectiveness. I will also be explaining the conventions that I have found that run through out the sub genre. This will include camera shots, angles, lighting, editing and clothing.
Camera Shots
The use of close-ups, whether this be for members of the band or on instruments themselves was an a common convention used throughout the music videos of this genre and I will try to apply this to my camera work when filming. Panning shots of the band whilst they are playing there instruments and performing is also a common convention used through the genre/sub-genre. Many shots that I will also try to incorporate into the groups footage is high and low angle shots, over the shoulder shots, mid and long shots.
Lighting
Low Lighting is used often throughout the videos as it representative of the genre. I will try to apply this when filming, although it will be difficult due to some of the day light shooting, for the band shots I believe it will be crucial to try and get these shots at night when it is possible to use low lighting.
Editing
One feature that was consistent throughout the three videos and that I will try to incorporate into the editing that me and my group will do is 'Parallel Editing'. This is due to the effectiveness of the ability to have a narrative whilst also showing the band members performing the song.
Clothing
As for clothing we must wear clothes that fit the genre/sub genre so that we fit the target audiences wants and needs. Therefore wearing things such as skinny jeans, 'Beenie' hats, shirts and baggy tops as seen throughout the three videos would be suitable. Also a lot of black clothing was using to represent the feelings of the videos so this would also be a feature to use when filming.
