Music Video Research - Ben Gilchrist

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out (Chris Milk)
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=x_9GR9kdZ3o
Good use of editing. Performance whilst showing a surreal setting. Lots of editing and CGI needed. Interesting use of zoom.

Kanye West - Touch the Sky (Chris Milk)
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-uPIgw4SeKY
Creates the feeling that the video is actually a film. Uses a lot of varying shots . Interesting use of editing. Lots of handicam used.

Feeder - Feeling the Moment (Jonas Odell)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjgQLEZ6vjY
Interesting use of backward/forward motion at the same time. Includes a band performance and a lot of CGI.

The Stills - In the beginning (Adam Levite)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BfDxd8wBkw
Effective use of pans. Simple performance video but effective to emphasise parts of the song.

Gnarls Barkley - Gone Daddy Gone (Chris Milk)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0HSp3U5XYw
Surreal. Provides a feel of escapism. Makes you feel like your somehwere completely different (on a dogs back) Could create an interesting effect if we could mimic the video without using CGI but instead using a greenscreen and putting two different shots together. (1.36-1.38) Goes quieter n background shot

Fatboy Slim - Weapon Choice (Spike Jonze)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMZwZiU0kKs
Use of "star"; not anything to do with the artist. Really random video, nothing to do with the song or artist. Just focuses on a dancing/flying man. Concept Video
