Video analysis

Lil Pump - d rose video analysis


This videoclip is a song which could be considered somewhat aggressive which is also evident in terms of editing. However, it is a  simple video clip, he says the lyrics quite repetitive, with the same sort of background which is dark and gloomy and uses a bit of animations. From what I can see there is a constant use of slow pans and zooms throughout the video, making you either focus on one thing or a couple. Furthermore, no use if not barely of a tripod and in fact, it embraces the liberty of free hand by swinging and manoeuvring  the camera. This might be a technique we should try when producing the video clip, since it matched the song. On the other hand, this might not be ideal as the song we have chosen has a different tempo as well as we would not manoeuvre the camera with such consistency in every shot. Also Fast cutting rate making it snappy and exciting, really capturing my attention, a lot of slow-motion , rewinding and forwarding giving the viewers entertainment and refraining me from clicking onto another video as I just want to continue watching. Which is why I'd like to give a similar effect so that the viewer is entertained making the videos ultimate goal accomplished And in terms of angles, both low and high angle, close up and extremely close up, midshot and longshot, and very elaborate ones too which would look awkward in a movie but looks really nice in that music video also it contained a few animations which looked really clean and aesthetically pleasing. I highly doubt that we'll produce our music video with similar effects as it is beyond our skill level as well as it would not match our relatively slower tempo. The mise en scene in this video was not very elaborate, but the fact that it was simple made it very good and the fact that it was more focused on him rather than around him. He was wearing a pink bape hoodie matching his hair, and most of the scenes were in dark places. We will not be using any dark places because that's not the atmosphere we want to set.

Future - mask off video analysis


This videoclip was more like a short movie, which is why our videoclip won't look similar to this. It shows a chaotic side with multiple scenes on others rather than Future himself. It seemed to be an uprising where there's no law anymore, which could be why there was a lot of havoc. Always this allowed them to emphasise "mask off" as most of the criminals were wearing masks. It was a really good production in which I was very interested however, we could not merely be able to make something similar with our production budget. They had a fast cutting rate in multiple scenes to really capture my attention almost like as if I wanted to rewatch the video even before I finished watching it. Which is something we'd like to consider because of there is a slow cutting rate it won't be entertaining nor elaborate. It had a cinematic, which expanded on the idea that it felt like I was watching a scene from an action movie. Which we will not do as it is not our plan to create a similar style videoclip. Also it used a lot of slow motion, pans and zooms as usual definitely making my eyes glued to the screen by attempting to look for little details. We will not do this as we want the main focus on the actors, but we might consider a pan. They also had match on action which made it unique to a most of videoclips, because it was basically watching a movie, as mentioned before we won't do this. It also featured a lot of close ups, mid shots, long shots, two shots and establishing shots, which without a doubt we will use but as a mandatory not because it was used here. The mise en scene really could be said the same about the previous videoclip, just this one is technically more elaborate. As there were more different scenery's but the costumes consisted of dark and dull colours and mask or something to black the face. 


french montana ft swae lee - unforgettable


This video is set in Uganda in which it showed a poorer side however, a much happier one too. In this video it really captured emotion, from the music and footage that transferred to us as an audience. We will not able to as we can't go to another country or the right song to do so. Due to the song it had a similar approach and constantly used slow motion and pans. Which worked well and allowed to capture the moment as said before this will not be our main focus. Furthermore, a lot of close ups and long shots capturing everyone and slow cutting rate compared to other video clips. Which we will consider just not planning everyone and most likely be just the two actors. It looked really good overall. It used low angle making me want to be there, showing that level of happiness. However, in the end it showed a short cinematic of the rebels to show the contrast. Mise en scene will be hard to take inspiration of as this videoclip has a different objective. Firstly they were in another country, infact a different continent and we won't be able to go to another country. Secondly, in terms of clothing they used much poorer clothing in comparison to other videoclip. We won't do this as said before they had a different intention which is why we can't do this.

Analysis

We have learnt about cameras and it's functionality and a reminder on how to use them again Furthermore we have gathered into a group of 3 and have created a 1 minute videoclip which consists of long shot,mid shot and close up to the chosen song One dance by Drake. In which we have had to change saturation, and the aperture due to the fact we were filming it outside and the environment, distance and weather kept changing
