Shortlisted Videos

These are our videos that we short-listed to either use as our track for the music video or take inspiration from for our editing, camera shots, movement and mise-en-scene.

Plan B - The Recluse

This is one of my favourite examples of a narrative music video, this video follows the story of Strickland banks (Plan B), this particular song is about Strickland dealing with life inside prison. We really considered this song as our choice to make a video. The inspiration from this video comes from the CUs, ECUs and Tracking shots.
Bloc Party - Helicopter 

Sorry for the poor quality.
We liked the editing in this video and believed it went well with the performance video which inspired us to match editing with meaning and tempo of a song. This was also our very first song we considered

Plan B - Prayin'

For a while this was actually the song we was going to use and a lot of our current ideas were carried over from things we planned for this song. We changed our mind quite late into the research stage as we decided the ideas wouldn't match the editing as we felt the editing had to relate to the tempo. Some of the ideas included some religious references and would allow us to use a wide range of editing techniques and camera movement and shots.
