This music video 'your betrayal' by Bullet For My Valentine shows similar transitions between shots to which we are looking to add in our music video. In addition to this, due to the nature of the genre of metal core, the speed of the cuts between shots are also similar to what we hope to include in our video music.
We see multiple examples of quick cuts between members of the band playing their separate instruments, and this compliments the genre of metal core. Also, the lighting has also been changed to a dull, reddish colour, which i believe shows fear and blood. These are both factors of heavy metal, which is something we have addressed and are looking to include in our music video.
The positioning of the band is also something similar to what we hope to include in our music video. The main singer is located at the front, and is the focus of attention. In addition to this, the drummer is located at the back, and despite being at the back, he appears to be in control of the band due to the dominance of size compared to the other members.
Finally, this music video has multiple examples of close-up shots onto the separate members of the band, which is something we hope to include in the opening scene of our music video.
The transitions all seem to be straight cuts, as opposed to including any effects. This has been done for a reason - probably pace. Have you looked at what the possibilities are for you in terms of lighting?
ReplyDeleteIn terms of lighting, we have decided to shoot our video in a dark light, which is common in most metal-core music videos, including this one. We have decided to shoot in dark and perhaps make the video lighter if needed, rather than shooting in light and making it darker purely for practical reasons. We have the technology to contrast lighting, for example, adding a reddish effect will represent fear and blood, but we have decided to keep the video in a relatively dark colour in order to make the video seem more authentic and classical.
