inspiration

I looked at some videos on youtube as to what sort of video i would like to create, the videos i have viewed have similarities in the setting and how the video was made.

Astronauts and all 

I like this video as it incorporates the live performance, and has like them in the video without performing which shows variety. I like the jump cut static shots as it gives the effect that they are disappearing and reappearing. And sometimes this looks slightly comical as they seem to just be moving about without any transitions. The effect of the white room just polishes everything off, it just looks clean and the effect the balls have just brightens it up and breaks up the video and the just shows that the people behind it can edit well enough to have them singing and playing instruments as well as the jump cuts.

I like the way this video has been made, it is alot of jump cuts 

however gives the impression that has been one long take as 

you see them run off the screen and quickly changing their 

clothes. Also their seems to be a slight narrative as it goes 

through the 4 seasons, so they are using a time lapse along 

side the singing, giving a slight contrast that time has past 

visually but at the same time, time hasn't past visually. The Astronauts and All video  

too have used a white room and shows that the surrounding 

doesn't give much away and makes all focus on them and 

on what they are wearing, part of the visual styling. Also 

with alot of lights on them means that there aren't going to 

be any shadows or anything to effect this fresh look that it gives.
