Chosen Video Style

My chosen video style is performance. This is due to the fact that I find them the most appealing videos to watch as you feel like a part of the action and involved with the song. I feel that a performance video would work best with my chosen song as it is quite an energetic song and so I can make it very attractive to the audience.

My favourite performance video is I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by Arctic Monkeys. It's simple yet effective and  I'm instantly drawn into it by the energy of the band, something I would like my band to recreate in my own video. The video focuses purely on the music and the artists, which is incredibly significant in a performance video. The constant close-ups of the lead singer ensures that the audience's attention is focused on him and the band's music.



I researched into older performance videos as well to see if I got any ideas of inspiration from them. "Killer Queen" by Queen is performed to an audience but they show up to the cameras for the people watching at home, as they do in Don Broco's video. The use of lights at the event in this video instantly appeals to the watcher as they are bright and so this is definitely something that I want to include in mine.
