Research for the Music Video

Inspiration and ideas for my music video came fron artists such as Kanye West and Sidney Samson. Our group are working around music genres such as bassline and funky house. We are thinking of creating a video using parts of animation and building up layers in the video by using the software photoshop and premiere elements.
We have researched a few videos, (links below) in which we like certain idea's.

• In this video, we like the layering of images such as paint splats and lettering
• we also liked the idea of creating words out of human bodies shown throughout
• one minute into the music video, we like the frame movement and continuity of video into each frame.
• the patterns and bright colours also stand out and we would want to include these in our music video.

Most of Kanye West video's re animation which is why he's a big inspiration in our media coursework. We are including aspects of post-modernism in our music video and most of West's videos are postmodern with the use of animation.

• In 'The Good Life' video, we like the animated lyrics in the video in sync with the song.
• Like in the 'Riverside' video, we like the use of layering and want to go futher with that in our own work.
• The use of bright colours is also well used in this Kanye West video.

• This music video also contains layering of images and lyrics appearing.
• once again, like in 'Riverside' we like the use of paint splashes starting at 28seconds into the video
• finally we liked the idea of the moving background.

Most of these techniques are done using a green screen and animation software. Some of the layering can be done using photoshop and premiere elements which can be done in our college. These are our starting ideas and we will research more into video's from the bassline genre as we want an upbeat and fast paced song for our media coursework task.
