DRAFT - NW - The Pretender by The Foo Fighters
For my short response I have chosen to look at The Pretender by The Foo Fighters, as I have always liked this video as it is very simple and has a lot of very good performance shots and has a lot of energetic movement. The video starts of with the band performing in a large warehouse with a big red board behind them, slowly over the video riot police line up infront of the band until about 3:30 when they charge against them and the board explodes with a spray of red paint. The band continue to play normally eventhough the riot police are being thrown around by the spray of red.
The video is very bright as there is a lot of overhead lighting and the floor is white. The reflection off of the red backing is blurred and provides a nice enlongating effect on the room.

NW - Thursday 25/11/10
This lesson I have worked on finalisin and syncing some of the areas of the video that have been roughly put together earlier. I have also been looking at some of the areas that we need to fill with the shots we will be taking tomorrow in the drama studio and have storyboarded some of these shots.
OS - Work Done While teacher Was Absent
Yesterday I had a go at editing. I had most of the lesson and i played around with a few things. I did this 360 shot that wipes every second to either the boy or the girl. This took me a while to do as I had to get the timing right. I also added other shots to the timeline such as more drama shots that we needed to be put in.

OS - 'Islands' by The xx
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PElhV8z7I60&feature=channel
For my short response i have chosen the track 'Islands' by The xx. The video is incredible as it is simply all done in one room with dancers repeating the same dance throughout. The only thing that changes or is 'out of sync' is the act themselves. This is because they are sitting in different positions each time the video cuts back to the start of the dance which takes about eight seconds each time. Towards the end of the video the lead female singer stands up and leaves the shot with the big x in the background on fire. This is when the video changes slightly but it is only for about twenty seconds or so.
The video itself is quite dark with a spotlight coming out of the main x in the background. The only other real light is the fire towards the end of the video.
The image above shows the start of each repeated dance. It always starts like this apart from the end of the video. This is good advertising for The xx as you clearly can see the 'X' behind the dancers and that is where most of the light is coming from, contrasting the dark atmosphere around the room when we cut back further. Both lead singers are lip synching on the sofa they are sitting on however we get the star image created as they come across as cool and laid back as they dont really partake in the events in the video.

The shot above is them on the sofa singing with the dancers on repeat. The shot always pulls back untill we can see the whole of the room and what is going on but as soon as that happens it cuts back to the beginning of the dancers again. This video is quite absract in the way they do this as i dont believe this has really benn done before so it comes across as new and interesting. When i first watched it I thought it was quite boring and i nearly changed the video but after watching the full video i think it is amazing how they have created a music video like this.
