Michel Gondry as a director is very 'avant garde' or different, which we were quite influenced by, especially his manipulation of what is on screen. Here are a couple of his videos that we are interested in for our work.
Good thing about this video is the fact that its doesn't have high production values, which we think it would be hard to recreate effectively.
Relationship between music and visual:
Cut on the beat every time, for example at the beginning each time the guitar comes in Jack is seen and each hit of the drum meg appears on another drum set.
Body movement/dancing in time with the beat.
Demands of the record label:
There is a close up of Meg, and the concept of the performers moving with all the instruments puts the focus on them.
The video is a good example of how Michel Gondry manipulates mise en scene and is highly creative. We liked this as we were influenced by the idea of multiple same objects but also want to try this with humans, which is also like his Kylie Minogue Video.
Kylie Minogue- Come into my World
This video is highly innovative and surreal. What we were drawn to most about this video is the idea of multiple Kylies, as we were looking at multiplying people in our video too.
Demands of the record label:
Four Kylies means that the record label will be pleased. Some close ups of Kylie are apparent too.
Notion of Looking:
"Come into my world" almost instantly says it, but the video seems to be looking at Kylie doing everyday things.
Just one single take for the whole video with no cuts is also highly inventive which is a theme we like but might not recreate ourselves.
