Research Into Similar Products: Howler - Don't wanna

Here is the video to 'Don't Wanna' by Howler. Watch the video then have a read of what I think:




In this music video they use layering of the shots effectively. They layer a shot with the same shot but not quite in line over the or turn the overlay on its head over the original. This gives the feel of some thing not being quite right and slightly uncomfortable.
This is something I will use in my music video to cause the feel of uncomfort and distress, something that the character in the video will be feeling, trapped in the box. I will use this at points through out my music video to stimulate feelings felt by the character in the audience watching the video.


Another music video that uses this effect in the post production is 'Live Forever' by Oasis towards the end of the video, here is the music video:

Main Product Filming: Middle 8 - Fire Scenes

Yesterday I began filming for the middle 8 of the song that I am creating a music video for.

Here are a couple of the clips filmed put together as an example of the what I am planning to do for the real music video:

 
 
Again, this is not the finished product and so will be developed further with other shots included into it. I will soon be filming someother shots of fire burning across paper, then overlay it with a shot of the character so it looks like he is burning.

Main Product Filming: Opening Box Scene

Yesterday I filmed the opening scene for my music video to 'Lost'. Here is a 'behind the scenes' picture:


I have put together a couple of clips from yesterday's filming together as an example of what I am planing to finally do for my final music video. Here it is:


This will be developed further, integrating with the song and will have more done to the colour, as well as being extended further.

Main Product Filming: Developments

I have developed my ideas on the water scene of my music video (2nd verse) by adding a small amount of content in to flash up in sharp, flashy jumps. Below is an example of what I mean:

 
 
Have a look at my previous post and leave a comment on what you think! 
 

Creating the Props

I have recently created the prop that is the box that will be used in my music video.


 
This will be used in the opening of the song all the way through to the second verse. It will be used as the box that the character will be trapped in and is trying to get out off.I have made it bigger than it should be so that there will be not limitations to work with.

Main Product Filming

 Yesterday, 15th of January, I filmed the under water eye parts that will be integrated into the second verse inbetween shots of the sea. Here is a picture from 'behind the scenes':
 
 
Here are a few clips of the shots I have taken, roughly edited, that I will us in my music video:
 

 
 
I will possibly try to use the first clip to end the verse scene (water) by reversing the clip so that the water runs of the characters face, as if becoming dry.
 
Id be very interested what people think of what I have done so please comment an express your opinions!
