Music Video: Planning, analysis and inspiration



{First Aid Kit - Cedar Lane}
  • Layering creates a psychedelic/soothing effect 
  • Long shots allow the viewer to take in the colour and different layers within the shot rather than have a focus on what is going on 
  • Colours and layering effect create a sort of 'visual memory' almost like recalling something in your head, the memory is often blurred but certain things stand out and here it is colour - the colour could signify the mood or feeling that is trying to be projected 
  • Also fits with the psychedelic genre - the colours almost appear like an acid trip and the layering too adds to the disorientating element that could hint at drug use which is popular within the psychedelic genre 

{Kid Bloom - Parent's House}

  • Psychedelic presentation of nature - in various shots such as ones of the trees and an arm reaching up in to the sky the colours change and we see a beautiful visual of rainbow psychedelic colours 
  • Soft red lighting when the subjects are sat on the sofa is 'dreamy' looking, the soft lighting again makes it appear as a visual memory or through 'rose tinted glasses', almost acts as a form of nostalgia or perhaps again a hint of alcohol/drug use as it intensifies in colour and mood as the video progresses 
  • Combines two genres: performance and narrative and it switches between the two. The performance narrative illustrates the music and the band who are performing it and the narrative of the male and female character amplifies the music as we see a rainbow of coloured animation as the song progresses and suggests a deeper/alternate meaning to the lyrics. 

For shooting in the studio I want to experiment with different types of lighting on the subject as well as using a projector to get the Psychedelic/colourful look I aim to achieve.
