On the poster we have the bands instruments sitting together on the green screen. These same instruments are used throughout the music video to instil a sense of continuity but also to show that this is a band that lives on the edge and can’t afford more instruments. This adds to their trashy look and helps to appeal to our target audience.
Even though my music video doesn’t completely match my ancillary tasks it does carry some of the same themes. Themes such as the trashy party loving nature of the band shown in the music video by the short clips of the band messing around and their eccentric performance when wearing the masks. It is shown in the ancillary tasks through their solo picture where they are obviously messing around whilst doing the photo-shoot.
Most music video have very clear cutting point usually on the beat of a bar but my video cuts in many different times such as off time or very quick cuts. The low budget effects such as colour tint or bad TV create an almost vintage feel to the shots and exaggerate the ‘DIY’ feel of the music video. The settings such as the iron fence in a feel where the band are playing together creates a feeling of low budget which also exaggerates the ‘DIY’ feel of the video.
My media product mostly challenges forms and conventions because most music videos look professional and have a very clear and concise point whilst my music video tries not to look too professional and uses montage editing to create a ‘DIY’ feel to it. It does this using editing, low budget special effects and low budget settings.
For example if we compare my video to a video i analysed when i did my research, Dark of the Matinee, the video look very profession because of the the effects, acting and choreography present in the video whereas in my video the planning is not as evident which gives it a more low budget feel.
