9 shot analysis of our music video

This shot was created using the green screen. We made a picture on photoshop, that matched the lyrics of the song. We used a bright vibrant colour scheme throughout all of our shots to keep them co-ordinated. A long shot of our main character is used and the flashing background makes him stand out more although he is wearing a white T-shirt.




In this shot we made reference to 80's iconography with the rollers, the mirror and the costume. The light is used effectively in this shot to make it look more realistic and professional. Throughout the video we tried to show as many 80's references as possible to create a link back to the song.




This shot shows a collection of 80's records we made a collage and combined them together.
the song by Calvin Harris relates to 80's culture and music so we represented this through the records. The Human League being the main one shown which were a famous band that peeked in the 80's.



In this next shot we can see a 3 framed shot of a dancing scene. The outfits used were key to create the right effect, in this shot we can see that bright tights and floral designs represent an old fashion. We used intense lighting to create a shadow on the white wall. The white wall then contrasts against the bright and vibrant costumes used.


Another shot in our video which we created using the green screen is our own interpretation of the famous Vogue by Madonna video. This was famous throughout the 80's so we can use this shot to relate back to the song that we chose. We wore similar costume to the actual ones in the video and copied the dance routine step by step. There is minimal lighting in this scene to make it look more like the real thing.



Here is a 9 framed shot of our main character, he has now changed from his previous costume so give more contrast againt the colours in the background. this shot was also created using the green screen. We have seen this method of various frames in one shot in many popular music videos.



In this shot we made reference to the Example Video 'Kickstarts'. The lighting in this video is used to highlight the feet. We tried to vary the style of shoe and background by choosing various floors. The pink leg warmers in one of the 4 framed shots also Carrie on the consistency of the 80's references throughout our video.





Here is a close up of an old fashioned Nintendo games control from the 80's. Fitting with our 80's genre.






Here is one of the final shots. It shows our main character dancing with the pink background to contrast against him. And to the right is a split shot of two of us dancing wearing 80's style costume. It is a very busy shot with a variety of things going on we had also seen this been used previously in current music videos by popular artists.
