Remaking "Tenacious D's 'Tribute'". Music videos 2



















Here are the three videos I worked on with Sam Dench when we tried to recreate the music video of Tenacious D - "Tribute". This was an extremely difficult video to re-make, but I felt that we made the intro quite accurately. I feel like we worked well as a team and all of our ideas got explored in many different ways. As the video is set in a studio, we wanted to re-create that scene by finding a spare room in the college. I made the sign which says "STUDIO"with a big star above it. This worked well with the video as we used different rooms to be portrayed as a studio.

I felt like we could have worked more on near the middle of the scene, but as I said, it was a very difficult video to make, and the intro was the easiest bit of the video and I felt like we made it to the best        standard.

Summery of Tuesday 9th September 2014

Today in our media class today, we paired up in twos or threes and we started to write an interview about the other person. I was paired up today with Joe and we started writing questions regarding background, interests and use of media. After we wrote our questions, we went into another room and started recording our interview. The interview process was very easy but the recording was extremely difficult. It was extremely fun working with Joe today because he knows a lot about computers and he was very helpful recording our interview which I could not do.

Music videos



This band is called Biffy Clyro and the song is called Bubbles. I think this music video is one of my favourites because the camera work is presented as a old fashioned film that you would normally watch at the movies.


The next video is from the same band, Biffy Clyro and the song is called Mountains. I really like this video because all of the actors, including the main singer, are dressed in chess pieces and what looks like a chess board on the floor. This is very effective as this would normally happen in a game of chess.


Finally, this video is from a band called Foo Fighters and this song is called The Pretender. I really like this video because it shows the band rebelling against authorities, in this case, the police in this video. This is also effective because the band is presented as slaves or servants and the police is shown as their masters and it shows the band punishing their masters for what they did to them.
