Research n tings.

Only cool people like this sort of thing, 1 being me :)

This is an example of light graffiti in which a source of light is used to create light on a long exposure picture. The way this video was put together is using stop motion to make it seem like a full moving image. This idea could be effective if used in a film opening although it wouldn't fit in with the whole film. It would also take a large amount of shots to get correct but personally i like this style. I'd like to experiment with this type of editing because some good effects could be created.


This is the music video for Calvin Harris - Ready for the Weekend. I like this video because i like the way the camera moves through different objects to different scenarios. This video links with Snatch with the idea of going through objects. I think that this would be an effective title sequence if filmed correctly. Zoom is used throughout this sequence adding to the effect of going through the rings, also, green screen is used to interlay different videos. The primary colours are bright and vibrant which connotes happiness and makes the audience feel optimistic. The block colours also make the video seem chidlike and simple for there aren't a lot of colours that blend. Some of the costumes worn contrast against the background and are tight-fitting for the women, this is the male gaze and it also draws attention to the womens curves, the mid and long shots are also used to make the audience linger on their figure, the contrasting colours on their costume and the way their costumes aren't completely zipped up draws attention to the females cleavage. Calvin Harris has a blank expression throughout the video, this is in contrast to the dancers who always seem to have a seductive expression, this makes them seem like objects, linking to Laura Mulvey's theory on the Male Gaze and Trevor Millums facial expressions. The establishing shot within this sequence it an extreme closeup of Calvin Harris' suit through a circle, he is wearing a black suit with a contrasting red tie, this colour is prominant colour throughout the sequence, this connotes masculinity throughout the video. The females are normally seen wearing pink, this is a stereotypical female colour.

This is an example of Stop Motion. I like this idea because i like the way you can do anything with it. I think that this could be used in a film opening but i'm not sure which genre it would fit. I don't think it would suit Horror or Action because it's too upbeat for those genres. This video is from a birds eye view meaning that it's shown from above. I like this idea, this could be used as the view from a security camera.
