We visited the Forum today for a workshop on music videos. BBC are running a local music video festival which is suprisingly the only one in the whole of the UK. It was a collection of local and also national music videos from independent artists.
The event to place in the Forum's Fusion room, a round room with the curved wall having the capability to be projected onto. I have been lucky enough to visit the room and its various events many a time since it has been opened and I have always enjoyed being able to just sit and watch some of our local talent and also to be able to see what other counties are producing. We were encouraged to watch a selection of the music videos on offer here, before given a lecture on the good's/bad's of making a music video.
The lecture was constructed to give us a taste of a good example of music video alongside a bad attempt at one. The lecturer, gave the interesting idea that music videos also have their own genres, ranign from chase videos to videos of the band performing. Below are some of the examples that I particularly liked, namely the ones with the better songs!
1. The worst music video of all time...coincidentally the best video also!
Armi Ja Danny - I Want To Love You Tender
2. Here is an exmplae of a music video that films the band, although it was named under the category that used heavy amounts of lighting, or something or a similar nature.
Casually Sunshine - Brother Build Me A Wooden Horse
3. Here was one of the good examples at how music videos can be created. A mix of band footage and also a story/narrative video.
Drunk Girls - LCD Soundsystem
4. This was one of the best msuic videos from the whole day, actually probably was the best.
It has the art feel, literally, the video is clever how it has been constructed and also the song is not that bad either.
Hold Your Horses - 70 Million
