Spike Jonze
Michel Gondry- renowned film maker. Did'Eyernal sunshine of the spotless mind'.
He has a certain style; very French. sweet sensitive. childlike. surreal. quirky. humorous. eccentric. 'The science of sleep'. Another brilliant film he did. Dreamlike.
Chris Cunningham- a bit more hard edged.more scary. a bit twisted.
Michel Gondry- 'The White Stripes'. It` s about taking 1 idea and repeating or really expanding on it. Where is it filmed?
'The hardest button to button'.Technique; often it` s a simple ideaRepetition, Edited to the music.
How does it promote the band? What is it saying about the band? Branding They are; original, eccentric, artistic.
Techniques; how did they do it?; lots of equipment. Each shot; 3 or 4 seconds. Then its all about the editing.
Method; 1st they listen to the track. Noticed it had a very strong drumbeat. So they thought, 'lets edit it to the beat'. master of the simple idea. people remeber it.
Kylie Minogue; 'Come into my world'. Choreography. It` s all really well choreographed. all about timing. Layers.Using a Green screen. She s walking in a studio. set in France; chic, paris, artistic cool.sexy. Repeating, layering things; Michel Gondry` s style.
Forms; Narrative, Abstract, simple idea. Clever. Film maker showing off what he can do. Cutting edge.
Foo Fighters; 'Everlong'. Leads through to ending. Ending resolves the narrative. Uses glass in front of the camera. Could use paints, drawing, writing. Then play it backwards. Branding of the band; they are funny, cool,crazy, wacky, imaginative.
Alot of his ideas came out of his own dreams from childhood. Big hands. House in the woods. Dreams are very much a theme of Gondry` s work.
Always has the Artist in the video and it ` s saying something about the Artist.
Bjork; 'Hyperballad'. Very image based Artist. Works collaboratively with other Artists. Set; in Iceland. Where she` s from. 'Emotional Landscapes'. Title of song. Film features the landscapes of Iceland, filmed from above. As music changes to Dramatic, landscape splits apart. Mood changes as the mood of the music changes.
Chemical Brothers. Another simple idea, filmed from a train. Same clips, repeating themselves. Edited to the beat, a film of just 1 train journey.Speed, editing, cutting etc relects the changes in the music. Alot of footage, a journey through France, edited together. There are a few CG Images in there, added for interest.eg, bridges, houses. In this case, the video makes the music. Brings it to life. Repetition in the song reflects repetition in the video.
'Around the world'; bit sinister, bit dark. title, 'Around the world'; they are dancing around a circular stage.
Another Chemical Brothers one uses mirrors.Made on video rather than film. Film has that deeper,'cinematic' feel. Video is shallower. (80s.)
Michel Gondry- summary. He` s got such a strong, repetitive style that his videos are very easily recognisable. Childlike, quirky, uses costume, eccentric, repetitive.Music, promotional video is a good way ofmaking money. Lots of directors start out in music and lead on into film.
