Marina And The Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot Remake
this music video remake is exceptionally good, and although i would like my video to be this good, the problem is the limit of technology i can us, this person has used approx £3000 of equiptment! but it shows, for my video i will use alternatives but hopefully try capture the same sort of experience within my video, and would like to try get effects to make it stand out from the crowd, much like this video uses 'Magic Bullet Looks' to enhance the visual within the video, i am hoping i can use effects to enhance my shots such as desaturation, and also adjusting the brightness and contrast can have similar effects.

inspirational video idea
in my video, i would like to use written signs to enhance strong parts of the song such as when feelings need to be conveyed or just for added effect, in the tubechop below, alongside the use of signs to convey feelings, the video has a sort of scribble of notes all over it but i dont think with the technology available to me at present, i am able to recreate this more professional effect.

Romance on a Rocketship - Skin & Bones music video analysis
this song and video's storyline is about the lead singer falling in love with a girl, and he is trying to get her to be his.
in this tubechop, there is a lot of illustrated footage as the song says 'With your long, long hair and your big, blue eyes' at big blue eyes, the girl opens her eyes revealing they are blue as illustrated in the song.
in this clip, the use of a lion shows disjunction from the song, however when the words 'but back it up' are played it shows the teacher running away from the lion or 'backing up' showing some illustration between the video and the song.
this tubechop shows complete illustration between the song and music video as when the words' i sure think you're beautiful' are played, in the video the girl opens a letter that says exactly the same on it.
The Ready Set - Love Like Woe Music Video Analysis
This songs storyline is about how a couple falls in and out of love again. one moment he feels like theyre so in love with each other, but then she ignores him and moves on, and the cycle keeps repeating, however the video storyline has complete disjuncture with this as its about a house party in the woods with zombies trying to take the lead singer away.
in this section of the music video, you can see the disjunctive nature as the video shows zombies whilst the song is singing about 'how could i say no' referring to the girl and how even though their relationship is broken at best, he always goes back to her.
in this tubechop, the girl he is in love with has come back to him but is quickly snatched away again by the zombies, which shows some illustration as the words 'the timing and the moment seemed so right' but just like their relationship, another person takes her away from him.
this tubechop shows the end of the music video which has a total disjuncture to the song, as the lead singer is taken by the zombies and turned into one at the end of the video.
Never Shout Never - Big City Dreams Music Video Analysis
this video's storyline and song is about a boy, singing to his girlfriend about how he knows she wants to leave and he kind of accepts it, but he'd rather she stayed, because he knows he's going to be left behind and he's going to miss her. he wants her to be happy here, because he wants to stay with her, but in the end he lets her go as he is literally weighing her down with the piece of string.
this initial tubechop shows a very illustrated piece of footage where as the words "pack up all my things and get my ass outta town." play, the video literally shows a girl packing her things into a bag and walking out of the door.
This tubechop amplifies the tying her down aspect of the video as it shows she is tied to a string that is with him, in this scene also, there are many closeups of Christopher (never shout never's artist) as we are familiarised to the singer, so we can empathise with his feelings of the girl walking away from him.
This final tubechop also amplifies the tying her down feeling as she is like a kite flying in the air and he finally has to let go, which signifies the end and also the end of the song.
