Music Video Research

Static - Dynamic from decay79 on Vimeo.


South Bank HD from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.

Both of these videos are taken from the website Vimeo and i think that they both demonstrate how the manipulation of speed within a music video can help to create a desired atmosphere. The first video is slowed down and is a 20 second movie stretched to 2 minutes. I think the lighting combined with both the haunting look on the womans face and the speed of the footage provide the viewer time to contemplate both the music and the footage. I think that its an example of music and moving image working very well together.

The second is a longer and the footage is both slowed down into slow motion as well as time lapsed. This piece caught my eye firstly because it reminded me of home but more importantly it was the timelaps stuff that i was interested in because i wanted to incorporate similar footage into my music video.
