Inspirational videos:

These videos are inspirational as i think that the shots between our performance should not really tell a narrative. I would rather they were creative shots which are disjunctive yet a theme of voyuerism is felt. Also this puts the emphasis more on camera work, mise en scene within the shot and editing which are key components of the music video.



As 'Carol Vernallis' states in her article 'The kindest cut: functions and meanings of music video editing',

• music video editing is responsive to the music


• continuity techniques are not as strict as in films. They can be incomplete and lead to unusual paths- i.e. a disjunctive shot order.


• reative visual disjunctive shots put emphasis on the music, lyrics, and themes rather than the narrative in the visuals of the music video.


• MV's (music videos) are about the composition of the shot rather than the content.


• conventional film shot order and distancing is much more relaxed in MV's. It is more about the music forms and patterns.

These inspirational videos are examples of disjunctive shots which still provide connotations of the theme in the song and lyrics and are cut to the beat giving the editing an rhymic function :

Benny Benassi- Satisfaction:

Faithless- Insomnia:

These adverts below are examples of disjunctive shots which i think would work well with our song. They are CU's an give connotations of : intensity, emtional, passionate and voyeuristic. -Themes which will run throughout our music video.
