House Of Pain Jump Around Music Video

TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF MUSIC VIDEO

SPEED - in our music video we have reversed the jumping an slowed down the speed of the lip syncing to match the words of the song. we used fast editing in our music video.
MISE-EN-SCENE - in our music video the settings are important as we used various different locations

GETTING LOCATIONS

In the lyrics of the song it says "Get used to one style and you know I might switch" and the group decided that in the music video we would have three members out of the group ( me, Marcell and Tom) would be dressed in informal cloths and then just as the lyrics in song says "switch" we would be dressed in formal cloths which meant that we would need a bar as a location for the formal scene. On the first day that we went filming we went to the Hilton hotel to ask if we can film inside the hotel. They were nice and said that we need to email the manager and ask him if we could film there.The manager was available at the time. Tom emailed the manager but unfortunately they did get back to us with an answer ( yes / no). After waiting a few weeks we assumed that because the Hilton hotel wasn't getting back to us, we took it as a NO and we started looking at other options for that scene. Many of the bars i went to ask if we could film inside said we would have to email the manager or gave us a number to phone but from past experience we took it as a no. in the end as a last hope i went to WAXY O'CONNOR's in Manchester they quickly phoned the manager at the time of asking and the manager said yes we can film there. over all getting the locations was hard but by being patient we where able to find a location to film.

codes of covention in our music video

Music videos are a form of audio-visual information in which the meaning is created via carriers of information such as the music, the lyrics and the moving image. A music video is composed by adding images to music. music videos can be categorized in 3 forms: performance, narrative and art which attracts the viewers. Our music video is a narrative music video which develops a basic narrative or sequence of events of the song. it takes into account the lyrics and story of the song . our music video doesn't contain a pure narrative because it contains a little bit of lip syncing. the song of the music video is could jump around and from our point of view we though why don't we do some jumping around in different locations for the chorus and relate the lyrics to the acting for some of the song. our music video has performance in it, there is a shot in which one of my friends dances.
