Researching the Prelim Video Artists

Since we had no experience of shooting a video for a song of this genre and the band didn't have many other videos from where we could understand the style and themes for what the video should look like, we decided to research similar bands (in terms of song genres) as part of our planning.

We looked at bands such as Green Day and watched the different sort of camera shots and performance elements they had.



We quite liked the editing and shot types that Green Day had in their American Idiot video. This gave us an idea of the kind of snappy editing the video should have so that it fits the band's star image. However, due to the time restrictions we had, we couldn't capture the ambitious shots that are found in this video. We instead did multiple steady shots which were easy to film and edit for our situation.



In addition to that, we also looked at the band's myspace, twitter and facebook accounts to get a better idea of their star image.
