Stills From black Eyed Peas New Music Video "I Gotta Feeling" With Glow In The Dark Paint!


I really like this music video as it has so many aspects to it to show the process of there party. These stills are just one aspect of the music video that we definately want to incorporate into our music video. Also the glow in the dark paint is an on going theme within the music video as it is shown in the beginning of the video as everyone is getting ready a man on a bike who has the paint dripping out from his bike as if to lead to the party. We love the idea of glow in the dark paint and we think that this scene to the video is filmed perfectly it looks really effective because the paint stands out amazingly. We want to take this aspect and turn it into our idea by having it on just a few of the dancers as they do there dance it will make it stand out alot more and as the paint is far too expensive for everyone to wear so we thought that instead we could cleverly use it to gain alot more impact when it is shown up in our music video.

Other Dance Videos!






I chose these music videos because they are incredible dance videos and as videos we can learn a lot of things from them. Like for instance Run DMC'S dance video doesn't even have them in it so it just shows that dance videos do have completely different rules to other videos. Not only do the artists not have to appear in the video but its more like its showing you into there way of doing things. It also shows us that as a music video it does not have to be performed on a swanky video set it can just be under a bridge somewhere or on treadmills. Also there dance video as do the others show a high level of imagination.

The next video is of this massive online dance battle that maybe many might have seen as it was all over YouTube and it has the singer and actress Miley Cyrus and the creators of the hit dance movie Step Up. As Miley, friends and famous dancers battle it out against the step up crew and all of their famous dancers. The reason why i chose this video was that to me when i first saw it the dancing just sort of caught my breath as it was so amazing, this video is just of the ACDC (Adam Chu's Dance Crew) and they amazingly choreographed it to such a high standard of perfection, that i was left stunned. I am aware that we could never get our dance video up to such a high standard as that video but it gave me alot of ideas of the sort of amazing free styling that will give our music video some justice.

The last music video is of "ok go's" "here it goes again". This is a very famous music video, due to their dancing on treadmills. Also it has been said that from March 2010 it has been viewed nearly 50 million times. With such a basic dance routine, catchy song and the treadmills have really made this a well known video world-wide.We liked the orginality of this music video and most of all we wanted the same fun and free feeling for our own music video. I think this video inspired us as the orginality and the quirky aspects to the music video make it so memorable. This is what we want from our music video a simple song that can be made quirky from our camera work and effects.

Overall all music videos will help us in the process of making our own music video. As they all give us plenty of ideas and methods that are and simple and little, but will add to the concept of our music video.

MIND MAP!

Our Ideas For Our Music Video!

For our music video we will be attempting another rave but this time on a bigger scale. We are able to get dancers who will be dancing in glow in the dark clothes, along with fellow pupils who will hopefully attend the fake rave which will be after school for 2 hours. Also this time our artist will be a DJ.
It will hopefully be in MR. Elmsley's drama hall. Also we are able to get help from people from our school to help us out with lights and music. We will hopefully be able to use many glowsticks and glow in the dark paint for this rave.
