The reason for why I like this music video is that it has a storyline with it that is represented with the video, this makes it a narrative video which we could do for our music video but a narrative video is hard to remake and create especially in the early stages of making these music videos. The story involved is quite relevant and a big issue in the United States of America and this is white police unfairly treating black citizens and so this video proves a point and stands up for this. It also matches the gender characteristics which within rap music and hip hop is violence. In our music video we could use a similar style such as using the streets to film within and settings similar to this. We could defiantly use the same shots as used within this video to represent our characters. We could use continuity editing in our video to have the same effect as this video had which was a story. I think that it would be hard to use the lighting in this video as it was set out on the streets and by using specialist recording equipment so we would struggle to be able to produce a video to this quality using the equipment we have. there is not one specific shot used in this music video, this is because there are lots of shots used to accommodate the action during the video. The lighting used was natural lighting as they filmed it outside so this would be tough for us as the weather is very inconsistent.
Razorlight - Somewhere else
The reason to why I like this music video is that it follows his trip throughout the day and his trip. This video once again is a narrative video which means that the video has a storyline and in this video we see what he is looking at and how the video relates to the lyrics of being 'Somewhere else'. This video will give us a realistic idea of a music video as it would not be too hard to create as there is 1 main character and he does not do any advance actions such as dancing or fighting like the Run The Jewells music video. The camera shots are quite basic as we are often shown a mid shot of the lean singer which allows us to see his mise en scene and the setting that he is in. It may be hard to use the natural lighting used in this scene as he shown to be outside and so it may be hard for us to do this due to the inconsistent weather that we face. We could use a black and white effect on our video which has a semanctic code that the area is dull, I think this is a good idea as it gives the audience something to think about and this can keep the audience involved and interacted. Continuity editing is used but it is a fast pace which we can also use in our video.
Kasabian - Shoot the runner
The reason to why I like this video is because it is very creative and different to other music videos. The type of video is a performance based video although there is not a crowd they are performing to we still see their instruments being used to play the song. This sort of a music video would be relatively realistic to make as we could use a studio or a larger space such as the school hall where are band or artist could play the song to a crowd. The effect on this video is very creative and I think it works really well but it would be hard for us to emulate this effect, I think that this concept is good and if we can try to make it similar and work we should but it would require lots of professional equipment and a high level of editing skills. We also see that they once again use continuity editing so that it is fast paced like the song which matches well. There are a variety of shots used including lots of different angled shots which I think makes the video look good and it keeps the audience interacted the whole time. Obviously due to the video being animated we could not use the same lighting but we could use a black background. I also like the way that the band are always standing out due to the neon colours that the animation show as it shows they are the centre of attention and centre of performance.
