http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saw1w-8ODKM . Calvin Harris -flashback.
this video was choosen becase it is exactly what i would like to produce for casio-kid. the narrative is intresting and follows the song lyricaly, the genre of music is very similar to casio-kid too.
camera work used within this video with calvin harris. is very similar to example with a large numer of mid shots being used also shown is a number of close up shots with calvin performing. and also showing in depth detail thoughout the narrative aswell.
samples of this are these two close up shots of calvin peforming as a dj which is what made him a top artist so showing this in a promo video is good.
another shot iv selected is a mid shot showing calvin on his boat, thinking back to what happend the previous night hence the "flashback" title of the song.
sound is the same as all the others , no additional sounds are added into the video, which i am going to tick to. as some videos that have additional sounds could be more atention seeking to the audience but can loose the whole point of a music video.
mise-en-scene used within this video is diffrent in some aspects tn the others , the performance part in calvins videos, has a number of "show girls" in , which he has used in a number of previous videos. however calvin himself does not change from his casual performance wardrobe. an exampel of the show girls is this.
narrative and performance through this video is very lyrical , calvin performing to an audience in a club , a typical place calvin is likely to be seen perfoming. also the narrative/story follows what is in the lyrics, the song is called flashback , which is repeated many times as the chorus. and this follows naratively as calvin spends his tim through the video remembering what happened the previous night, this aspect i like very much in the video.
the genre is very similar to casio-kid , the dance type of genre and calvin harris one of the main artists to have started the nu-rave scene.
this video is a great example of what i would like to achieve in my production. and wil be using this as a guid/template.
