Practice and Song Change

We filmed some footage of nights out and day trips to put together in a video so we could practice some of the effects we are thinking of using in our own music video. First off we tried the "black screen effect" from the Justice - Phantom Part II. I think it worked really well and am keen in using it for a part of our coursework. Ms Poulten also suggested that we could perhaps use it as a "blinking" effect which opens up the option of exploring dreams/waking up. We then tried the "rewind-fast-forward" effect that we liked from Nicola Robert's - Beat of My Drum. We used it on a piece of footage of our friend dancing. I think it looks quite effective and would be good to use in our music video. Here it is...



We put it to a fast pace song (The Killers - Human (Ocelet Remix)) and by doing so we realised that perhaps Justice - D.A.N.C.E wasn't the right song choice for the video we all had imagined in our heads. Although a fun song, it may have been too slow and the video prehaps too iconic. It may have looked like we were trying to re-create the video just with our own twist on it. After a group discussion here are some of the songs we are considering.

Drugs In My Body - Theives Like Us (Tweleves Remix)



Good Points: Fits our genre, no "expected" video
Bad Points: Too slow, male singing

South Central - The Day I Die



Good Points: Fits our genre, could be really imaginative video
Bad Points: Iconic video, male singer

New Young Pony Club - Get Lucky (Tweleves Remix)



Good Points: Female singer, fits our genre
Bad Points: Too slow

Youth Alcoholic - Fox N Wolf



Good Points: Fits genre, no original music video, female singer
Bad Points: Didn't like the lyrics (too many maybe?)

Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (Tweleves Remix)



Good Points: Iconic song, fits genre, female singer
Bad Points: Quick short (maybe add another loop)




WE CHOSE FLEETWOOD MAC - DREAMS (THE TWELVES REMIX) AS OUR FINAL SONG
