Examples of other text - Foals 'Balloons' Music Video

This video is distinctive due to the abstract style of filming, location and various shots of a disjuncture theme. From the start of the video up until 1:34 it is purely the band being filmed, some clips of them performing in what looks like a room in someone's house, as well as clips of them sitting around the location drinking tea and holding a bird. I really like the idea of using clips of the band that are meaningless to the performance but look effective and traditional - such as the sitting around a table, or holding an unusual object. 

I really like the fact that the extras within the video are all dressed in a black uniformed costume; the only thing we would not take as inspiration from this video are the use of dancers, as that is not the style of music video we are going for with our version of One Night in October.

The fast paced edits of the shots look really effective as the song is upbeat and fun, this is similar to our choice of song so we will take into consideration the length of each clip and try and include as many shots as possible to make our video memorable and interesting. We discussed the editing effects we like as a group and agreed on the sped up clips as being a top choice due to it's popularity, this effect is used in many music videos, but particularly in the official 'One Night In October' video by the Little Comets. I am sure we will try and incorporate this effect in the post production of our video as it is an original way to show editing within music videos.

I like the whole style of this Foals video, including the outfits the band are dressed in; they look 'normal' and relaxed in comparison to some bands that have been dressed up in videos and sometimes look too abstract and come across as if they are trying too hard to stand out. The set-up of the instruments in this video is also designed well for the location they have used, everything is close together which allows the camera to show them all performing at once as well as individual close-ups of the band members and their instruments.
