Inspiration from Music Videos

Gallows- Misery


London Calling - The Clash
These videos and most punk videos all inspire us in terms of the saturation. We would like to use this as an example for an effect we would add to our video to add a sort of old-school look like videos in the 70s as an homage to where the punk genre started which evolved into music and bands like The Upgrade.

                                           

God Save The Queen - Sex Pistols

Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols


Two Tribes- Frankie Goes to Hollywood

          This Godley&Crème directed video is an obvious critique to the United States’ government (it portrays a heated boxing fight between then American President Ronald Reagan and then-Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko, resulting in the world exploding) and what the nation stands for (‘’No firm diplomacy..no peace for America and the world’’ as Richard Nixon says), very similar to the Upgrade’s song USA, which criticizes the US’ current state towards terrorism and foreigners entering the country. Whereas we are not allowed to use clips from speeches by American leaders like Frankie Goes To Hollywood are doing, this is still rather inspirational as it directly attacks the American image.

Not The Only Person - The Rumble Strips

 We would like to incorporate the scenes and tracking shots when the Rumble Strips’ front man walks and is followed by random people (or even band members) in our video by having the band following Solay through Norwich. We also like the urban locations used in this videos.

  1. You need to explain why you have posted this music video onto your blog and to endeavour to identify links to the BNP, you could do some research into the way some metal bands use racist icongraphy and lyrics.

  3. Well done for explaining your purpose for posting the 5 music videos onto your blog.
    i'd suggest you add another post explaining how genre is communicated in each of the 5 music videos so that your understanding of generic characteristics is evident onyour blog.

  4. Think about how your examples challenge the establishment, and in The Sex Pistols case in an outrageous way.

    Also you need to introduce the music videos with institutional information from Wiki or other sources and any feedback from critics/fans.
    What the Board will be looking for is evidence of research.
