My Three Favourite Music Videos

Media Music Video

DJ Fresh – Loader
I like the video not only because I love the song but also content of the video. I enjoy doing loads of different activities for example cycling, roller blading, and kayaking. So the thing I like about this video is it has a ton of people doing things that I like to do and having a good time while doing so. I also like all of the vibrant colours that being used it help you to really enjoy the video. The use of slow motion is also pretty as it slows down someone doing a trick while the tempo of music has slowed down. The use of these props (roller skates, skateboards etc) is something I plan want to also use my music video but instead of roller skates the main prop would be fixed gear bikes. 

Michael Jackson – Thriller
Thriller is one of my favourite music videos because its like watching a short film and throughout the video you don’t want to stop watching as it keeps you engaged continuously. I really like the use of zombies werewolf’s because they are themes in horror films I like the most like, along with that the zombies doing the dancing in huge group was really memorable. 
Gorillaz - 19-2000
I often watch anime (Japanese cartoons) because I find them pretty entertaining. So the fact that the Gorillaz are a cartoon band it think is pretty cool, I like this video because all of the characters are together driving along a highway but they include some good action scenes for example when they attempt to shoot down a gigantic moose but it blows It back and they blow up.

What I plan to use from these videos:

DJ Fresh - Loader
In my music video I will be using a lot of action thoughout the video to keep up the energy to match the song. My video will have my and my mates riding our bikes through different parts of london. However unlike in DJ Freshes video I dont want a lot of vibrant colours instead I want it to have a gritty london feel to instead too show the real london. I think this will appeal to my target audience because the grittyness of London is something the audience will be able to identify with as the Londoners will know what London is like and those who do not live in London will get an insight into what London is like.

Michael Jackson – Thriller
Like this video I will have a story so I can make it a narrative music video. My story is about a boy who finds out a resturant is offering free food but you have to get there before a certain time. So he decides to get a couple of his mates to go with but by the time they get there unfortunately its closed.  I chose to do this to add a bit a comedy to the video. I think audiences will like the narrative aspect of the video because the story isn't serious it will be fun to watch also the audience will be able to anticipate what will happen at the end of the video and when the arrive at the restaurant. The humour is also something the audience will enjoy as most people to enjoy laughing.

Gorillaz - 19-2000
From this video i have taken the idea that there are all on there somewere. The difference is in this video the characters are chilling on their way to their destination, were as in my video were in a rush to get to the resturant before it closes. I would love to create an animated clip to fit into my video but my drawing ability isn't that good.

  1. What aspects from these videos do you plan to use in your own video? Why will these techniques be effective in the message you are trying to send?
