Insomnia Summary Recent Ideas



Long-shot, Juxtaposition

Recently we've looked at music videos by the artist of our track to see if we'd find any influence, and from this we've found some useful scenes that have applied certain effects that we could use for our music video, also Faithless has some unique trademarks that we've picked up on and plan on using in an intertextual reference.

. Firstly from the music video Take The Long Way Home they've used numerous scenes where Maxi Jazz is sat in an arm chair singing directly towards the camera, and this is common in other videos from Faithless which is his unique trademark so this is the intertextual reference that we plan on incorporating in our music video.

Black&White

. From this same video a majority of the scenes were in a black and white tint which is common in most of Faithless' videos, and we think it'll work well in some of our scenes to signify that our main character is in a dark place. Also the clothing in Faithless' videos are commonly dark which is another common convention that we'll look to use for our music video, and this is because it anchors this dark place that our main character is in and that he's depressed.

Medium Close-up

. Then from Faithless' video We Come 1 there's a scene with a barking aggressive dog and it's been edited so that it's in slow motion and we think it works well, and from this we thought it could signify fear for our music video and work well with our plot as out main character suffer from insomnia.
