Greyscales and effects to signify the past and
the present.
The narrative is an old man
wandering around a seaside town. He is reminiscing back to the time when he and
his lover wandered around the same town when he was much younger.
Gold Snafu features a 3 minute intro to create a
setting and some context for the narrative during the actual song. We could do
this too but on a much smaller scale, maybe for a few seconds before and after
a song to give some context or closure to our narrative.
Throughout the song the visuals reflect the tone
of the music. For example during the chorus when the piano high notes come in,
the main character looks at the girl he’s infatuated with. This leads onto a
rebellious act of throwing papers at 4:26 when the music becomes more powerful.
Sticky Fingers add in additional sound effects
like the car screeching and the cricket playing on TV during the song too. To
an extent we could try and use this technique too.
The continuous, comedic narrative is a style we
could try to emulate as it doesn’t rely on a fast cutting rate or high
production costs.
SHAME is a relatively minimalist music video. It
features 1 actor, 2 locations, a jacket as a prop and blood as prosthetics. The
rest is acting, dancing and interesting cuts.
They show the name of the song in bold white
writing in the first 3 seconds of the song. This and the way they cut to a
black screen with the lyrics on to emphasize certain phrases like ‘is all you
cunts can hold onto’ and ‘just got deadly’ I think is an innovative way to make
a low budget production interesting and I think we should definitely use this
technique in our production.
