Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock
Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock
Twisted Sister are one of the most iconic glam rock bands of all time, which you can see in the video for I Wanna Rock. The mise on scene is very typical of the genre, with the band having the usual big, over the top hair, with dramatic make-up. Their outfits are colourful, combined with a lot of black to fit the rock genre, with things like leather and denim being added for extra emphasis on the genre. This video could be used as inspiration to recreate our mise en scene to fit with the glam rock style, ordaining our band members in clothes similar to that of Twisted sister.
The video is also useful to see how narrative and performance can be combined, with the narrative actually leading to the performance, and showing how both elements can be featured within a similar setting, having the crowd play a small part in the narrative. The crowd are also dressed like people that are typical of the rock genre, with studs and black leather, a concept we could try to include in our video should we be able to get enough people to participate for the live performance. The lighting in video is usually high key, showing the music to be a fairly up beat song, with the live performance having smoke effects and strobe lighting, which we intend to try and incorporate with our own video.

Blink 182 - Always
Blink 182 - Always
This video is fairly unique, being unlike any other video in the way it is edited, although it looks complex, it may not necessarily be that difficult to achieve the effect. The video plays through just as any other, although during the first few seconds, the screen splits into 3, using the same scenes, just varying the image by distorting size and alternating time, with the three sections occasionally making a whole image. Using this technique they focus of the shots, with close ups and medium long shots being combined to show the same image in a different style, adding interest and something unique to the video.
This makes the entire video fragmented, showing that the narrative itself could be fairly patchy, with members of the band often taking each others places, trying to gain the affection of the female, although only the drummer seems to manage. This works well to show the distress of the people in the narrative, which also includes some performance aspects, with members playing instruments in the apartment where the video is set, so there isn't a live element. If we focus heavily on creative editing, we could use this as inspiration to work in different and unique styles, in order to challenge ourselves, while still emphasising the narrative/performance aspect.
