Puretone – Addicted to Bass (2009) - Thurston Community College

Within this video I have seen a couple of points which we have been thinking about. From this I am able to see how affective it will be and what we could do in our video. This has also given me the confidence to carry on with these ideas as I now know that they are possible.




Over all I think that this video really works and the narrative of the piece is fitting to the song. There are some elements which I am not as sure on as others. But feel over all that the whole video works as one.

I really like that way that they have included the two different sides of the character in some of the same shots. Using the split screen and the dissolve out. This really works and makes you think about what is real and what is not, also who is the real character within the piece. This is also used again within the section where we see multiples of the character dancing on and around amps. This again works as it makes you think about what is really. It also works as it is showing how the “bad ass” side is coming through and pushing the other out to take over. This is going to be something which we want to try. We will have to try this number of times to get it right as we want it to look like a single image. Which we know will take time and a lot of work.

One thing which I know is going to be difficult is the lip syncing. Within this I feel that they have managed to cover this really well. And it seems as if she would be singing the real song. This is also helped by having the girl fit the role which she is playing.

Some sections where we have the character inside a night club work but are sometimes unable to see what is going on which then does not make the action as clear. These sections work really well within the video. But could possible think about what is seen in the end result due to lighting. This is something which we are going to have to think about and most probably try to make sure that we get it right.

One thing which I was not sure on and could of done with some work is the transition to watching the cars go from normal to really fast. This was because it seemed to move slightly and jump forward. This is something which maybe could have been looked at to make it as smooth as possible.

Over all I think the video really works, and has given me some ideas about what is going to be possible and what is not. Also what works best in some of the more difficult sections.
