Experimental film projet - Research - TBC

For my first section of research on the project im going to post some music video's i feel relate to what we plan on creating as
many contain techniques and content similar

Becoming real feat. Trim - Like me

I found this piece influential in how dark it is, its incredibly unsettling despite being simple.
The locations filmed invoke a sense of fear, this combined with use of lights and layering give the video a very disturbing feeling.
The low quality and handheld nature of the footage also add to the realism of the piece, enhancing the feeling of despair.




6V6 - Meute Alienatique

Another simple video which manages to cause the viewer to feel at unease, also seemingly low budget making use of props and lighting to create a creepy ambience.
The combination of religious and satanic icon's and gestures in conjunction with the dark, red lighting give the feeling of a ritual of some sort.
The quick editing, unusual shots and handheld techniques also add to the feeling of confusion and give the video an evil and shocking feeling, pairing perfectly with the style of music.




Salem - Redlights

In some ways similar to the 6V6 video, although a lot less menacing.
What i enjoyed about this video is its use of lights and layering, its another simple piece but manages to hold the viewers attention and is for lack of a better word, quite 'trippy'.
We will most certainly be using lights in a way similar to this, zooming in, adjusting focus and using the camera handheld to give the feeling of the lights being alive and bouncing around.
I have recently walked around the city centre with my handycam capturing such footage to practice on final cut with and plan on using it for a music video outside of this project.



Dub Phizix - Marka

A higher quality video then those previous, again capturing what feels to me to be a ritual or some sort.
The effects used on the footage combined with the editing style create an eerie atmosphere, this works really well with the use of fire and costumes of the actors.
