Sigma - Nobody to love
This music video is filmed in Cape town in South Africa and is about two girls on a road trip together. It is similar to how i would like to film mine as it is in a hot foreign country of a teenage girl and an older woman. It uses numerous locations similar to ones i would like to use such as the beach and driving in a car.
Editing:
In this music video they use a combination of normal speed, fast speed and slow speed shots. The screen shot on the right is a slow motion shot of the two girls jumping into a lake, this is combined with the slower part of the song giving emphasis on this specific point of the song. I would like to use a similar idea of combining the slower parts of the song with a slowed down shot.
After this shot the song beat begins to get a lot faster resulting in a change of clips as the speed increases. The first shot on the right shows the two girls dancing and as the next beat is heard the clip zooms into the girl on the left dancing. The first clip is an establishing shot of the two girls by a lake and a tent and then follows through to a close up behind one of them. The differentiation of the positioning of shots represents the spontaneity of the Girls holiday.
There are some shots which look as though they have been filmed hand held to give a sense of realism and excitement. This entices the audience to keep watching as they are following the narrative of the road trip and seeing all the things that the characters are doing.
The music video begins with small snippets of what is going to be in it later on in the song. It shows a beachball in the air at the beginning, which is then seen towards the end with the characters playing with it. It also begins with one of the characters standing up in the open top car with a flare in each hand, there is another shot half way through where one of the characters is running with a flare and then again at the end of the video in the car holding two flares.
