Extra ideas from other music videos...

These 3 music videos all have something in common, and that is the fact they are all filmed from a one shot position. Personally, I dont think you would notice unless you weren't doing media, so there was no need to be looking at it in detail. Yet when you look at it in depth, you can tell that this form of production becomes very effective with just the one shot throughout.

If we included this idea in our music video, we would have to make sure that it comes across with a unique feel like it has in these three videos, whether it be a performance, concept or narrative. We would have to make sure that whoever is the performer/singer in our music video that they are fully prepared and they know what they are doing at all times. They cant make any mistakes and is able to keep the flow of it going, yet they should have the ability to improvise if they forget anything in their routine whilst they are being filmed.

The three videos all seem to have alot going on in them, to keep the audience intrigued, so they dont get bored with just the one shot. Bruno Mars has included the monkeys with a dance to it aswell, which has obviously not been done before, therefore the audience wont really know what will happen next. Bruno Mars and the other performers have obviously put a lot of effort into this by the way their timing has worked to fit it all in together. The second video of OK GO - they have also done a well constructed dance on the tread mills, which shows although it is just one shot, it must have been very hard work for them, and they look like they have put a lot of effort in for them to get it just right in that one take. The third video of fiest has alot of action going on! The performanced based video captures the audience's attention as it doesnt seem predictable and there is always something going on. Although the main girl in the video seems like she is just making it up as she goes along, it looks like the timing has fit in perfectly with the added bits of her being carried along 'stepping' on the other dancers.
