Roxanne

As another practise exersise we were given a section of a popular song with relativly easy lyrics and in groups had to film each other singing it and then use the footage to make a new music video. the exersise was set to teach us how to edit lipsyncing to make the video look beterand more realistic. I was in a group with Alex, Ash and Tim, we were given Roxanne by The Police. We shot all four of us individually singing, in different locations, with different camera angles, we then shot all four of us together doing the chorus.

Spike Jonze

Much like Gondry, Spike Jonze is some what of a pioneer in creative thinking as far as music videos are concerned. One of Spikes favorite techniques has to be single shot filming. Single shot filming requires weeks of planning and rehersing to get everything to happen at the correct time etc. Jonez decided to take this technique, make artists The Pharcyde learn their song 'Drop' backwards, perferm it in one shot and then play it backwards. As far as in concerned this is a stroke of genius.

Michel Gondry

I often sit in my room and watch music channels on TV, as a result i've seen 100's of music videos from different genres etc. And i've noticed that Michel Gondrys videos far surpass the creative styles and boundries that more ordinary video directors set.

For example when he directed Around the world by Daft Punk, Gondry put so much more thought and effort into it. had a less inspirational, talented director made it they would have probally just had normal dancers. but Gondry had multiple groups of dancers all with there own dance moves to a certain beat in the music, this is far far more complicated than you would initially think.




As well as Daft Punk, Michel Gondry has done over 70 videos all as exceptional as each other
