After being given the name of the band, 'Acres of Life', we were able to look them up on Myspace to establish their genre. After listening to the track, we confirmed that the genre was emo/indie.
Having confirmed this genre, we were able to look at other bands which came under this category and the ways in which their music videos were shot and how they were edited to enforce this emo, band-orientated image. We looked at these bands:
Greenday
Twenty Twenty
My Chemical Romance
We Are Scientists
We took some ideas from the videos of these bands to determine which type of shots we wanted to include in our video. We established that we wanted to use a low angle shot from the floor, focussing on the bands feet as they jumped up and down. After looking at the band's Myspace, we noticed that the lead singer had long, black hair, so we decided that we wanted to focus on this aspect throughout our section of the song.
We then decided to put our ideas into a timeline, where we included screen grabs from videos of similar bands which we thought would work well in the 37 second sequence which my group had been allocated. Throughout the vocal section, we wanted to draw the main focus towards the lead singer, however, our 37 second clip had an instrumental section, where we would obviously draw attention towards the other band members and their instruments.
