Video Analysis

The music video is an art house abstract video that does not use any narrative or performance. The video is simply about two females being psychotic and running around. The song starts off slow which makes the video start off slow by showing the abandoned building and setting the location/scene. Then the beat starts and so does the video which cuts to the beat of the song. Granite uses alienated sound effects at the beginning and shows footage of aliens, in our music video we have done this by using a hand held camera and moving it around in the air to get shots of trees and sky. This makes it seem alienated with the alien sound effects in the song. The video follows by the two females running around inside the building in a dark room and being strange. Then there is a close up of them being next to one another, the camera pans right revealing the room and also the characters in a mask. The masks look scary for younger audience but laughable for older audience. The video is freaky by the two characters playing a hand game by the window when suddenly they turn around and it makes it seem like they’re heads are twisted. The characters then find two dolls and start abusing them by throwing it against the wall, knifing the eye out and burning them. The editing transitions we have used are the sped up scenes to make it seem comic. A tint over the whole video has been added to Bad Film which makes it seem old. The video has minor flashes which extra effect of Bad Film. The location then changes to the woods in Chorlton. The characters drag the dolls on the floor and run around in the woods and being silly in front of the camera. The video has been changed to monochrome for a more Bad Film effect. There are scenes that contain ‘blood’ on the walls but this is only food colouring. The video finishes by the two characters spraying white party spray on the floor. We have not used any green screen because we thought it would not suit this type of video especially the scenes in the building and in the woods.
