The following videos are my top favorite videos, due to the way they have been produced and how they're each unique. They are not in any particular order, but each one has a description of why i like them.
The Eels - I Like Birds
The reason i like this video is due to its simpleness. It's an effective style of music video where they use imagery along with their lyrics to create a nice, although random, animation. With this video my favorite feature is how they create every thing out of a single line (or that's how its supposed to be viewed), using this concept they create a lot of unique imagery. Creating a new, fresh and simple style.
I plan on incorporating a nice simple storyline/video for my own music video and to keep to this nice and entertaining theme.
OK GO! - This Too Shall Pass (Rube Goldberg Machine version)
This music video i find VERY creative, the way they interpret the machinery into the video alongside the band members singing along is easily done but is a nice effect. The video holds a pointless idea in an inventive style, making the viewers wish to watch on until the end, where eventually our conclusion is them being sprayed with paint, dding the humor to the video making it overall and nice watch.
I wish to keep a creative side to my music video, thinking out side the box and keep things interesting.
Cage the Elephant - Shake Me Down
I simply LOVE this video! It uses a lovely, although depressing, storyline which keeps you entertained and guessing until the end, where it is revealed that the man has died and passed onto his 'next life'. The video works well with the music and is able to create a touching moment for the audience.
The whole concept within this music video is awesome and i hope to be able to input such a nice idea along with my video, keeping things turning and fresh.
Paramore - Crush Crush Crush
Within this video it is shown to be very hyped up with how the camera keeps cutting to another person majority of the time, it constantly changes it's camera shots. By doing this they present the performers in a very lively atmosphere (even though their in the middle of nowhere).
I do love this video due to how it presents the band members ina dramatics sense. the sudeience are intrigued and the main targeted audience are majoritively going to eb musician which you tell by the closes up on guitars, vocals Etc. So when lookign at this i want to take the diea of the dramatic atmosphere and show how place it with the weird adn strange which has already been mentioned. So therefore leading me to believe i may fall down the route of possibly using Live and narrative music video combinded.
Artic Monkeys - A View From The Afternoon
I really enjoy the concept of the black and white effect used within this video. it suits tthe very 'live' song which is also quite basic. With the vdieo being so simplistic yet effective on the audeience is again some thing i wish to attain when making my own music video. The drummer is contrasted in daylight adn then night-time which is quite a ncie diea to use. The spotlight limits what he (and the viewer) can see, making thigns more interesting. and the way they shot singular things, such as the sign post presesting somethign dramatic, is somethign i really like.
So when thinking about ym own video i started to think maybe when presenting my live/narrative video i could shot these random images whcih could work along with the lyrics of the song i'd choose. I also like to incorporate the daylight - night time theme into my video maybe.
