Introduction

For my A2 music video I have decided to go for a type of music called dub step. This form of music has only recently in the past two years become more and more popular and is now even considered mainstream. The song I have decided to use is nick named chill step as it is slightly calmer than most dub step songs. I have been thinking about the way I would film my project, for example to have a calm video to go with the song or to have a violent and dramatic video that is perhaps played in slow motion to create a sense of calm that would make the video relevant to the hole concept of fast dub step and also make it relevant to the calmness of the specific song that the video is for.

 

When I was looking at music videos of other dub step videos, one in particular caught my eye. The song is by skrillex and uses scenes from the new transformers film as its music video. This whole idea of advertisement within a music video which is common in most film theme songs music videos caught my attention and i have now looked deeper into the advertisement of games within music videos as well such as the new trailer for the new game Sleeping dogs, where real actors are used to play a scene in the game. With this in mind I have thought up of a way of creating a music video which will also be an advertisement for a fantasy game which the music video will be showing an acted out piece of game play. I have already created one of these music videos in my free time with gameplay from Call Of Duty and a second music video using scenes from Death Race to experiment with some ideas.  All the videos that I have talked about will be attached to this blog to clarify my thoughts and as the year goes on I will be going into far more depth on all the points I have made and more that will come up as the course work progresses. The video at the top is one i created, the bottom on is from Sleeping dogs and the one in the middle is an example of a dubstep music video.
