Videos For Inspiration

Feist - 1234




The video is very colourful. Each person is dressed in only one colour, which makes them all stand out & gives the video a bold feel. This is contrasted nicely with the big, blank, open space in which it is set. This makes it easy for people to focus on the dance routine. This provides good inspiration for our own video especially the abstract narrative of the food fight. It will be held in a blank open space and have the focus in the middle, with bold colours. This will help emphasize and create focus on the action.



Bjork - It's Oh So Quiet



The main point that we liked about this video was the slow motion. We thought it would be something good to have in our own video. We found out that to do it the person miming has to mime twice as fast so it can be slowed down. We also liked the bold colours, especially as they were brightest in the fast scenes and duller in the slow ones. If we used this idea we would probably use it in reverse, with our food fight slow but bright.

We noticed some similarities between this video & Feist's video. The blocks of colours used as well as some techniques. The aerial shot of Bjork spinning round and the umbrellas opening matches that in Feist's video of the aerial shot where she spins round & people fall down. At the end of both videos the main character is seen being brought forward into centre shot away from the dance routine in the background.
