Foo Fighters - Walk

NOTES:

-Performance/Narrative style: something I've considered to emulate however lip synching would be very difficult.
-The narrative matched the emotions of the song; frustration, anger etc which is very important as it has to connect with the audience. I feel Dave Grohl connect with the audience by looking directly into the camera.
-Iconic guitar throughout video, this is something I have been considering. I think having something symbolic in the video will help create star image for the band/artist.
-Towards the end, we see all the band members
-Close ups of band member
-Star image; Dave Grohl. He is shown to be the main guy as he features all the way through and also through the use of camera work e.g close-ups. Close-ups and varying camera work is very important and I will try and use the camera as effectively as possible no matter what style of video we decide to do.
-Humor added in the video. Possibly something we could try depending on what genre of music we decide to make a video for.
-The police are seen, they are iconic in music videos. This again is something we wont copy due to obvious reasons. Costume is something we must think about carefully as its the attention to detail that will make the video that much better.
-Edited to the visuals, I think the pace of the music will dictate the pace of editing. Cutting to the beat is common especially within pop videos so if we go down that route we will definitely consider that technique.
-References; Justin Bieber etc. We won't necessarily reference Justin Bieber however we will use intertextuality in out video, something the audience can identify.
-Intertextuality, when you reference something in the video e.g. this video references a film.
