This particular video really inspired me when thinking about the setting / prop use we would incorporate in our own. We always knew that creating something authentic and interesting enough to hold a viewers attention would be a challenge (with the limited resources that were available to us). This video however made me realise that even with a style of overtly obvious scene / back drop changing that these unrealistic wallpapers still looked visually effective & elevated the message of the lyrics in a more stylistic manor. Additionally the concentration of props / small details in order to capture the themes of the vocals is something I have embedded into my plans - the shots are so chaotic and almost overworking with mis en scene, but this is the intended effect & it works perfectly - creating the manic party atmosphere which makes the video have an insidious madness about it (representative of love & the matching emotional strings). The additional objects animate the live performances & this is something we will really draw on when dressing our 'fake band' & creating their video performance to aid their acting abilities & make the eras jump out at the audience & be overly evident so that the majority of viewers recognise and understand the intertextual references. Furthermore, though we have discussed many ideas of effective editing techniques, we hadn't previously really had a chance to think about physical additions we could incorporate whilst actually filming & this particular video embodies the use of strobe lighting for extended disorientation - something which we could possibly play around with in terms of shifts of lighting to subtly alter the mood / era in correlation with one another.
