A couple of music videos I've come across recently...
So, as you can probably determine from previous posts Katherine and I have been experimenting with the split screen technique and it's a technique we really like and hope to use in our final video. So, I found a music video for the very popular Kid Cudi and his song 'Make Her Say'. I really like the techniques he used in this video, I don't think his style music is similar in any way to the 'Sunsets For Singles' but I think their is a lot of interesting shots and ideas of how we could further develop our split screens in this video. I'd really love to try something similar to the opening balloon shot and I like the concept of their being a shot of the same place from two different vantage points where you can see two different people doing different things (like at 1:10).
Whilst watching NME TV the other day I came across the above music video. I must admit I only caught the last minute or so and whilst I'm not a huge fan of the song I really like how the director (David Higgs) has overlapped shots and made it have a really vintage style look. The main section of the video that I like start at around 3 minutes and the hue of the clips is really warm and dramatic. I'd like to try this style out as I like it a lot :) I'm not too sure how well it would fit with our song though... so it's definitely something we'll need to consider.

The Kid Cudi video is really effective in how it layers clips from what looks like the same footage, especially the walking past the swimming pool bit at 1:15 onwards.
