Raw footage

In this video is a few raw scenes we have filmed compiled into one video. No editing has been implemented to any of these scenes in this video;

 

To analyse without confusion I have taken a still of each scene from the video:

This still shows all band members performing. This is linked to the genre as it shows the lip-synching during the chorus and instruments being played. This is relevant as it shows the genre of the music video is 'performance', which is something you would typically find in a Ska music video from prior research we had done. Because the cinematography shows all members, it is easy to recognise the singer is sitting in the middle and is the focus of attention.

During this scene, as shown in the still above all members are looking away. In this still a couple seconds later through the scene, the singer faces the camera. This symbolises and reinforces that the singer is the focus of attention, which is something we want to make obvious and display in our music video.

This close-up of Ben as the main singer is effective as it shows the lip-syncing to the song to be accurate and more convincing to the audience.

This still refers to the part in the video where the lyrics in the song say 'See your mate with a burger'. This direct relationship between the visuals and the lyrics, which is relevant to Andrew Goodwin's theory.

As the name of our song is named 'Fast Feet' we thought it would be relevant to have footage of feet dancing quickly. However, we found the footage to be slightly boring by itself and have decided to film two others dancing so that we can edit it to be a 3-way split-screen.

This is not directly linked to the genre being performance, but to add some diversity to the music video we have added this scene to give a narrative concept to the music video so it is not dominantly performance. As our music video is trying to give off the idea of having fun, this scene as well as others in the future final cut (e.g. the paint scene) helps to tell the audience this through visual references.
