Directors Challenge Video Idea

For the Directors Challenge we had to research a music video director and their style, and come up with a music video idea to produce using that directors style. I researched Michel Gondry and have come up with a video idea that uses his style.

I have chosen to make a video for the song All I Wanna Do by Splashh, which would start at 1 minute 27 and last approximately 30 seconds. My idea incorporates ideas used by Gondry in other videos, as stated.

• It begins by following the singer walking down a street. By holding two cameras next to each other, then editing the two videos transitioning into each other it can create an effect like in Like a Rolling Stone by The Rolling Stones (1:02).

• The singer then walks straight past a guitarist who is standing on the street. Guitarist recorded three times playing guitar on street in front of a wall - once on the left of the screen, once in the center of the screen and once at the right. This is then edited together so it first shows him on the left, then shows him in the middle while the first one is still playing, then on the right, so three shots of the guitarist are on screen at the same time. This is similar to in The White Stripes Hardest Button to Button.

• Cuts away to people on stairs in different coloured plain t-shirts hitting the railings to the beat (as in Mia Doi Todd Open Your Heart) and then Tom walks down the stairs behind them wearing his bear head (like the bear in Beck's Cellphone's Dead). People on stairs follow on behind him.
