Creating our music video (Research)

So far, the music videos we have researched have all been filmed with actors portraying roles, and so I’ve looked into alternative ways of producing music videos such as using different types of animation/stop motion technique. The videos below show different ways in which music videos can be made.
The White Stripes - Fell in Love with a Girl
The Smashing Pumpkins - Thirty-Three

Smashing pumpkins- a series of stills put together in a way to look like a movie, showing the stills one after the other creating an illusion of movement.

I have taken a series of photos of someone writing lyrics and put them into windows moviemaker to edit them into an animation, similar to the smashing pumpkins music video. I like this technique as to take the photos themselves is fairly simple, but the outcome is very effective and could look good if the time between each individual image changes to the beat of the music.


                                        



38 frames per second is the standard filming times, this means when viewing a recorded clip back, it looks as it did in real life, smooth and not jerky. So by taking a series of singles frames and adding them into an editing programme I can create a traditional ‘movie’, which would look as if it have been filmed on a standard cam-corder, whereas if I change the amount of frames per second I can get a slower, disjointed and sometimes more effective type animation.
