TJ - Responding To A Track

1. Post a link to track
Animal I Have Become – Three Days Grace
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbHn1Pgj6Zk

2. What is the genre of the track? How can you tell?
The genre of the track is of the rock genre. This is shown by the performance of the band and the instruments that they play.

3. Do you think this track represents a high or lo fi video? Why?
High fi, Modern, lots of lights

4. What videos would be comparable?
Blurry - Puddle Of Mudd

This also has a performance; however it is not in a single room.
Afterlife - Avenged Sevenfold
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_UKfsWBWSE
This is a performance too, also in a room with lights.

5. Find out the budget for one of the above examples.
Blurry cost >£100,000, which seems quite a lot for a music video, however the locations are quite vast.

6. Give an outline of a treatment
Three days grace perform in a room filled with lights and decorations on the walls. It also cuts between this and the lead singer waking up from a bad nightmare. He then walks into town reflecting on what kind of person he is.

7. Identify suitable locations for filming particular sequences of the music
The high street could be used for the time of reflection, or maybe a park. A big room (e.g. the drama studio) could be used for the performance of the band.

8. Consider grain of voice. What characters would you use?
We would use someone who looks like a punk rocker with black hair.

9. What pro-filmic and post-production special affects would be suitable?
Quick cuts, filters, lighting, sped up, low angles

10. Who else would you need to 'employ' to help you with this production?
Friends: A guitarist, a drummer, singer, bassist. Maybe extras.

  1. Tom, some good comments however you miss the point of this exercise, this is part of the process of choosing a potential track for your group and using a framework to analyse it and think up ideas. As this already has a video, it is not relevant
