Low budget video ideas in Composure (ABR)

camera use:

There are several low budget ideas in this video as this is a generally low budget video. There is a vast use of handheld shot throughout the entire video, this is used to give the same effect as the music through bouncing around in time with the music and following the artists movements. another low budget concept is that of using low angle shots. This is a basic idea that is used to herald the artist and there work. It could also be possible to argue that they are putting the viewer in a live audiences point of view.

mise-en-scene

The artists within the music video are all dressed in a way that is suited to there audience. The artists appeal to there audience by wearing the same sort of clothing that people listening to them would. They are also given high end instruments to play as it looks professional and makes the band more appealing as having expensive instruments shows viewers that they have fame and money.

Performance

The band have been made to perform along to the music that they are creating, this involves head banging in time with each other, an excessive use of microphone skills such as whipping the lead to make it spiral. Things like this are put in slow motion to show the skill that is involved with it, guitarists are always thrusting there guitars in-front of them to show off the things that they are playing and the drummer has shots that slowly track in while he is involved in drum solos etc.

Editing

There is a vast use of slow motion used within the video that is very easy for a person to create yet gives an effect of great skill when the artist is doing a stage move. The editor has used a lot of this in order to put people in a state of mass appreciation for what the performer is doing. The editor also has edited the story that is going along with the song so that things like punches thrown are in time with the music. This is a simple but very effective thing to do.
