Our idea is that we access another line of action through pictures in a book that when opened, this accesses another line of action in our music video which is very unconventional of a traditional film with this being the genre of sci-fi fantasy. The use of special effects enables us to do this, it enables us to form the narrative of the music video also.
The continued use of close-ups in the music video is something that does not conform to traditional film making also, with direct eye line match to the camera forms a connection with the audience something which does not occur as frequently in traditional film making.
The faster cutting rate of the music video is also something with rejects norms of traditional film making. Although it does occur in films there is a mix of both fast and slow cutting rates in a film this contrasts a music video where the cutting rate is constant.
Lip syncing is something that is very conventional to music videos and especially Hip-Hop, but this type of performing is very rarely used in filming as there is a direct connection with audience something which is not always wanted in a film as they follow the narrative opposed to the actual person.
Another technique that we are going to use is montage editing, we want to emphasise that time is moving and the person in the shot is dwelling on time. Although montage editing is used in filming the fast cutting rate as well as being in time with the music is unconventional of traditional filming.
Another method used that challenges the conventions of traditional film making is changing the opacity of two images and placing them at the same time on the editing timeline just one above the other. This emphasises the point we are trying to make in the music video about it being abstract and calming.
