Performance Segment Review (Changes) & Applied Theories
The filming for the performance segment went well, turned out better that I'd hoped it would actually. The only problems I had were a few cases of discontinuity which I only noticed upon editing, but I've done a few things to hide them the best I could.
I was planning to get straight onto the filming of the narrative, and to splice clips of the narrative into the edited preformance footage.
But after editing the performance footage together, I made the shocking comparison between my own edited footage and Limp Bizkit's music video for their song 'The Truth;
The Truth music video's concept is for it to look like a recorded demo session of the band playing. Nothing else, just solely preformance. When compared to my edited footage, they are quite similar, with a practise room setting and the use of different angled cameras. After making this comparison, I have decided to keep my music video in the style of 'The Truth' video. This lays alot of my planning to waste, but I feel that keeping to the good, honest, uninterupted and hardly edited style of The Truth, will make my own music video that much more credible and that much more representative of Limp Bizkit.
Due to this decision, the narrative segments from my storyboards are no longer valid, and the cast list no longer needs the Narrative segment listing.
Theories
From my music video, I can apply a few theories to my work:
Claric's Theory
Firstly the media theorist Claric’s theory of music videos could be applied to my music video; Claric said that close up’s are the dominant shot used, as performance demands close up, along with the need to show expression. He also said that music videos mostly use fast cuts, editing appropriate to the beat as to ensure multiple viewing. My video follows this theory, with the video consisting of just performance, therefore needing close ups, as well as fast cutting being used due to the fast beat of the song, which is conventional in the rock genre, although admittedly close up's were just one of a few camera shots that dominated my video, as I worked to use them as to follow the convention of their use in the rock genre but to also keep the angles that were similarly used in Limp Bizkit's 'The Truth' music video.
Goodwin's Theory
Another theorist; Goodwin’s theory can also be applied to my video. Goodwin said that music videos demonstrate genre characteristics; which I worked to incorporate into my video, using previously mentioned rock genre characteristics such as instruments, clothing, lighting ect. My video also uses intertextuality, with Wes Borland's motif, that being that he wears a costume in every music video and performance. The costume worn by the guitarist in my video is a reference to the costumes of Limp Bizkit's other music videos and uses the existing knowledge of audiences familiar with this motif to make something new, that being a continuation of that very motif.
