So this week i had a secondary idea, to use my flat as the set for the video. As many music videos don't always make sense with the lyrics or the title of the song. This way i could be as artistic as i wanted, with no boundaries, and use in camera effects, rather then digital manipulation for once. I want to showcase what was possible behind the camera lens, rather then generate a second rate rushed composition on the computer.
Looking at previous work by Michel Gondry, i wanted to use his style, but instead use still shots instead of video. Also i wanted to age my photographs, to make them look like old negatives that havent been processed correctly, the technical term is called cross processing. Using these methods i will make the music video to Monkeys Gone To Heaven by The Pixies, as this track has the best music compared to the instrumental Tortoise song Jeremy gave us. Also The Pixies are an old school band, its always fun to make videos for good songs after all.
Using my flat mate Bhavin Pancholi, course mates Anthony Turner and Jonathan Campion as actors, i shot half the images i needed for the 1 minute music video. The actors worked well with what i told them to do, basically anything funny, but with a edge towards the fact of heaven, as the title of the song went. Using the images i amalgamated a test to see if the images worked as a video with the song, and guess what. It did! The images flowed together on Final Cut Express, as i wanted 3 frames per second. Using this footage i knew what other things i needed to shoot.
