The video by we are scientists nobody move, nobody gets hurts, One part of the video is shot in a car park, and a star well. Also there is no other people in this video other then the band, we took is idea and used this in the footage we shot in the car park, as the car park was empty, this gave the impression that no one else was around and that we are very important as we have this whole location to our selves.

The Hives where chosen to look at because there video again is made up of performance, this is show at a lot in indie videos. Also the location that they are performing in is often plan is appearance and empty, so that it is just the band playing so that all our focus is on them. We have taken this convention and used it in our own music video by having them perform in an empty location, that is plan to look at, this helps keep the audience forced on our band.

I choose to look at muse because they have a video which is mostly made up of them performing, this seems to be typical of this type of genre. They also have indie styles of clothing as Matt Bellamy is wearing an army style jacket which is very fashionable and in trend. This shows that indie fashion is very up to date with the latest fashion trends. This is something that we tried to show in our video.

All the videos that I have uploaded are similar bands to placebo and the Indie genre. Such as Kasabian, this video have a shot of a car driving past a man walking. This was filmed so that the camera was looking out the window of the car. I really liked this shot so I decided to use this in my own music video.

Youtube was used to find videos of our chosen genre which was Indie. This was so we could look at the conventions of the genre as well as find ideas from other music videos that we could use in ours. This was very helpful because it allowed us to find the types of clothes worn by the band as well as the typical locations which are used.

Blogger this was used though out our project to record ideas, upload videos and pictures of what have influenced use, as well as talk about what we have done. The way to create a post is to click on the link that says “new post” this will bring up a text box for you to type in. If you want to add a video as well to the same post you must “embed the code” from the youtube video you wish to upload, this is done by “copying the code from youtube” then “pasting it into the box on blogger”. If you wish to change the colour of the text on your blog you click on “compose” Then the icon which is a big “T” with little coloured squares next to it. This will give you a colour chart and you pick the colour you wish to use.

Final Cut was used to edit our music video; this was the 1st time that we used final cut. At first final cut was hard to use as we did not know any of the functions. However after a few lessons I was able to get an understanding of how to use Final Cut. An example of this is when I was editing our music the scene I had to edit was the opening shots, This was of all the band walking up to the camera on the roof of an empty car park. First I had to upload the footage, this was done by clicking on the link that said “capture”, and the next step was to click “now”. This allowed the footage to upload on to our final cut project. Ones all the footage had uploaded. I then selected the clip that I would be using. I found the part I wanted to use and then pushed “command I” which means this is the starting point of the footage I wanted to use. I then played the clip until I found which part I wanted to end on for this I pushed “command O” which means this is the end of the section of footage I wanted to use. I then bragged the section of footage down into the sequence. If the section of footage was a little but out of time I just clicked on the cut icon and found the bit that was out of sink and cut the footage so that it would fit. I then deleted the footage that I did not need. When adding effects to the music video I went to “effect” then clicked on the drop down tab and went to “brightness”, I then adjusted the footage until it was clearer to see. After I had done this the footage needed rendering so I went to the tab that said “render” and from there I clicked “Both”, this meant both the footage and the audio.
