5 Things that inspired me

Cameron McDade

Video 1 – BMTH Layering

• In the Bring me the Horizon video they use layering which is where a number of different pictures are layered over and under each other so that you can see each image in one photo.

Lighting: I like how the lighting behind it is white, I liked this because it defines the layering more and makes it better to look at. For example in the video the lighting and background switches from white to black.

Editing: I like how the images actually move behind the silhouette of the lead singer. For example the fire moving and burning behind the singer in image 2.

Video 2 – Justin Bieber Cartoon In the Jack U song ‘Where are you now’ I like how they used cartoons, drawings and affects on Justin Bieber to make the video interesting and creative.

Lighting: much like the Throne video the background lighting is always white, this makes the drawing and affects more defined and it means the attention is on the artist and not things in the background.

Special Affects: As you can see in both pictures special affects are used on Justin as he dances and sings. Drawings of fire are placed onto his hands and in the first picture the whole of Justin's body has an affect on it. This just makes the video more unique and interesting.

Lethal Bizzle – Lighting and Props I really like the song Fester Skank by Lethal Bizzle for its really good Mise En Scene and props during the video.

MES – I like how the costumes and outfits of Lethal Bizzle and the extras in the Video constantly change with the topic of the song. For example in the second picture LB is in an army costume because he is talking about Rambo. This makes the video really interesting as its not the same thing through out the song.

Props – I like how cool props are used in the song, for example in the first picture LB is seen sat on a toy Lambhorghini because he says ‘You might see me in a Lambo’. He also has props like a Ferrari and a Horse.

Ed Sheeran – A Team I like the Video of The A Team by Ed Sheeran because of the lightng of the video and also the different affects and transitions that they use between and during shots.

Lighting: The lighting throughout the video is all natural lighting as you can see in both the pictures. This makes the video more simple. It also makes the video more realistic as the camera follows the girl.

Transitions/Editing – I like how the scene in the bottom picture is a 5 second time lapse of the girl standing alone and still as the traffic goes by her. I like the effect and it links well with the story of the video as well as the song.

Niggas In Paris – Kanye West and Jay Z

Editing/Affects: I like how the in the video the Camera vision is doubled so you can see two of everything on screen. I like this affect because its is unique and its not something you see in videos that often.
