Matt and Mitchell's presentation:

Man overboard - Where i left you



It is an illustration video. Filmed in unconventional places. Camera is filming a camera filming them. Was done while on tour in home tow of New jersey. Unconventional clothing. Another band - the story so far, comes into the video. On the beat editing.


Kieran and Dan's presentation:

Disclosure - Latch Ft Sam Smith



Strong stuductvie feel by bold shots. House genre - electronic dance. Conventional video of a none band - people playing or singing. Mid shot - more distant and see surrounding they are in. Characters in the middle of the shots to be the centre of attention. When the rain pours down in the elevator it is like there spotanious kiss has set it off. Graphical face on peoples faces which is there album cover to link them together to create a trade mark. lots of close ups of love and lust of eyes, hands, lips etc. They relate to the lyrics as they are about love and lust. Very strong connection between the three couples to enhance the lyrics and the emotional connection which it gives off. it is like they are interlinked as everything happens to each of them at the same time. It all builds to when they kiss from shots to music and lyrics. the im latching on lyrics links to the shot of holding hands. same shots of the graphic face on the characters as its like they have become the music. Different couples - history and relationships. 

Junior Senior - Move Your Feet

Junior Senior - Move Your Feet
 
 


In this they use a cartoon that looks like it has been done on the paint programme. It is very illustrative of the lyrics like:
 This is a shot from the video. It is from the part where they sing 'C'mon everybody and move your feet', it is an exact interpretation of the lyric.
These are the rest of the lyrics:
Everybody, a-move your feet and feel united. Oh Oh Oh!
Oh yeah, Oh Oh Oh!
Everybody, a-move your feet and feel united. Oh Oh Oh!
Oh yeah, Oh 0h Oh!
Yeah!

We're going downtown, oh yeah!
We're going downtown, oh yeah!
We're going downtown, oh yeah!
We're going downtown, oh yeah!

Don't - don't - don't - don't stop the beat
I can't - can't - can't - can't control my feet
P - p - p - people in the street
C'mon everybody and move your feet!

Don't stop (don't stop) don't stop the beat!
Can't stop (can't stop) can't stop the beat!
I Won't stop (won't stop) won't stop the beat, and go!

Everybody, move your feet and feel united!
Oh Oh Oh!
Everybody, move your feet and feel united!
Oh Oh Oh!
Yeah!

We're going downtown, oh yeah!
We're going downtown, oh yeah!
We're going downtown, oh yeah!
We're going downtown, oh yeah!

Sing - sing - sing - sing - sing my song
And you - you - you - you - you sing along!
Just put - put - put - put my record on
And all of your troubles are dead and gone!

Don't stop (don't stop) don't stop the beat!
Can't stop (can't stop) can't stop the beat!
I Won't stop (won't stop) won't stop the beat, and go!

Everybody, move your feet and feel united!
Oh Oh Oh!
Everybody, move your feet and feel united!

Everybody, move your feet and feel united!
Oh oh oh!
Everybody, move your feet and feel united!
Oh Oh Oh!
Yeah!

Everybody, move your feet and feel united!
Oh Oh Oh!

Yeah!



....
My opinion on this song is that it  is very random but it also illustrates the lyrics. It is very funny and colourful which catches the audiences attention and also makes them laugh. It is very strange and the song is very catchy. It is typical dancing song that would get anyone tapping their foot along to it.

Prelim Brain storm




These are some of our ideas:





Ed Sheeran - Lego House (stop motion)

Ed Sheeran - Lego House (stop motion)





This video is of Ed Sheeran's song 'Lego House'. It is not the original but in my opinion it is amazing. They use stop motion which is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop motion animation using plasticine is called clay animation or "clay-mation". Not all stop motion requires figures or models; many stop motion films can involve using humans, household appliances and other things for comedic effect. Stop motion using objects is sometimes referred to as object animation. In The video it is the original played next to the stop motion version so you can see exactly how they look the same but just using different techniques which make them both interesting and eye catching as for the colours and other elements which make them both amazing music videos. They both also empathise the lyrics. this personally is one of my favorite songs as i can really appeal to the lyrics.
These are the lyrics:
I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
And build a Lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down


My three words have two meanings,
There's one thing on my mind
It's all for you

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm gonna paint you by numbers
And colour you in
If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
Now I'll surrender up my heart
And swap it for yours

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down

[Album version ending:]
And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now

[Music video version ending:]
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now

Bjork - Full of Love

Bjork - Full of Love



The concpet of this video is very strange as it is a face that is singing on a robot. It is like the song is saying how relationships or love can be robotic or that people are like robots, programmed to do stuff but that love is still an inate feeling that nobody has control over. It is a very interesting video which can be taken in many ways. The slow pace music and the simple white and black colours contrast and give mixed feelings to the audience depeding on who is watching the video. In my opinion this video is very strange but the song is very good. 
These are the lyrics:
 You'll be given love
You'll be taken care of
You'll be given love
You have to trust it

Maybe not from the sources
You have poured yours
Maybe not from the directions
You are staring at

Twist your head around
It's all around you
All is full of love
All around you

All is full of love
You just ain't receiving
All is full of love
Your phone is off the hook
All is full of love
Your doors are all shut
All is full of love!

All is full of love
All is full of love
All is full of love
All is full of love
All is full of love

Alien ant farm ‘Movies’


Alien ant farm 'Movies'

This is the original version they did of this song. This is from when they were just sarting of. the video below this one is the version they released later on when had became more popular and had more money.  


This video has a catching song. It is also very simple but in my opinion because of how simple it is it means that the focus of the audience is more on the song and the bands rather than things that have nothing to do with the song. The song is very catching and it has a good beat which make you really want to listen. It really shows the rawness of the band as this is from when they started out. 




This is the same song as above but this time it has been re-released with a new video. You can see how much the band has changed as for the elements used in this video like the band jumping into the movie screen but also the intertextuality of popualr films at that time from Charlie and the chocolate factory to Ghost busters. They really bring the theme of the song alive as it is based in a movie theatre but also within actual movies. I personally think it is a very good video and this version is as good as the origianl but this one is good for the different elemenst where as the other is good in terms of how it is stripped back, raw and focussing on the band and song.

These are the lyrics:
At slow speed we all seem focused
In motion we seem wrong
In summer we can taste the rain

[Chorus:]
I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene

Two can play this game
We both want power
In winter we can taste the pain

In our short years, we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away

[Chorus]

You won't cry, I won't scream

In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away
And if we make a little space
A science fiction showcase
In our short film, a love disgrace
Dream a scene to brighten face
In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad, just to throw it away

[Chorus]
