These are Pictures, that I took, in Rugby Clock Towers Car Park, I recently received Permission to Film there, I believe that this is the best location we have looked at as, it has everything we had talked about; Lights, Outside, and it'll keep with our narrative.
Risk Assessment will be uploaded tomorrow, I haven't had chance to complete a risk assessment yet as I haven't been able to go to rugby to do it yet I plan to go during my free lessons tomorrow to do it.
This Red Hot Chili Peppers Can't Stop, I chose to review this video because it's disjunctive which seems to be the case with most rock songs (disjunctive is a theory of Andrew Goodwin, where the lyrics have no relation to the images being shown on the video), I have been looking at on Youtube, Vevo, TV channels/shows. I believe this is a good video from RHCP because it's still interesting but at the same time strange and confusing. There are certain sections of the video which make me think that we could do something similar to that e.g. the start with the camera shot with the tunnel.
Even though the video is disjunctive which means it has no related meaning to the lyrics of the song, the video doesn't have any meaning or reference to anything.
This section of the video, with the camera going down the Yellow tubing, is the part which I like the most and would like to incorporate something like this into our music video, but I expect it wouldn't fit into the type of video we are looking to produce so it's likely that we'll never end up using an effect like that.
I think that it's a great method and original, I don't know of any other type of music video where something similar to this is used. The only way I think we could use it is if we used it as a transition prompt between past/future and present day or a similar effect.
The video includes special effects, but I can only seen one computer generated special effect, it's where the guitarist/singer is in a bin singing and there is two more of him singing next to him.
The Foo Fighters' Monkey Wrench is Disjunctive, because there isn't any linked meaning between the lyrics of the song to the video that they have made.
All the members of the band star in the video, you see them either singing, or playing the drums and guitars or as poeple who live in the appartment/appartments nearby.
Band members consist of Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiftlett
They use a continuity editing, some of the shots they use move but slowly so the user barely notices the movement of the camera, in others they are motionless shots which range from long shots to extreme closeups.to wide angle shots.
There aren't any special effects used during the music video, they just use clever camera shots, e.g. they pan between the car park and the house, which allows them to switch locations easily without the video jumping to other locations.
I believe that we should use this editing style along with "jumpcut" and "Cross-Cutting" it would allow ours to look professional and not as if amateurs have made it, I believe that you can have greats shots but with poor editing the film will look rubbish, and for this video this isn't the case
This is the official Music Video but it was never released to the media to be shown on places like VIVA or 4Music as it was too long.

This is the version which was released to be shown TV channels, etc.
30 Seconds To Mars made this video for From Yesterday in China, it's believed to be the first video from an american band to be made entirely in "The Peoples of republic China", it is filmed inside of a chinese fort/monestry. The video like Foo Fighters Monkey Wrench and Red Hot Chili Peppers Can't Stop, is also Disjunctive. The video has no apparent relation between the lyrics and the video.
Like most music videos of the rock genre this doesn't consist of the male gaze, although there are four girls in the video the shots aren't meant to be in the form of male gaze.
Andrew Goodwin's disjunctive theories have been applied to this music video, as it has no apparent relation between the lyrics and the shots in the video. The narrative of the video is that it's a Chinese emperors birthday and he requests 30 Seconds To Mars, They are given a gift, which is Chinese warrior armer, they then start to battle with others until it's just those four left. This is where the music and the video finishes.
They don't use special effects as we would normally think of them e.g. bomb explosions etc but they use effects such as subtitles, Fireworks in the Background, Battle scenes.
Editing and Filming
In the music video the large majority of the shots are taken from a motionless position and are transitioned between each different angle/location without there being an obvious transition slide between them. , and I hope it isn't for ours.The editing method used in the music video is called Continuity editing or invisible editing, as this type of editing doesn't draw attention to it from the audience.
