A2 Rush Subdivisions

A2 - Rush ‘Subdivisions’ School Montage from Luke Darling on Vimeo.

Task: Construct a music video that uses a montage of images that relate to the theme of school. Additionally, because the band is not available to be in the music video, clips of band performing in the original ‘Subdivisions’ music video must be used.

This task was more difficult than it seemed, as I couldn't 'hear' a montage song, but after I watched the original footage of the music video it gave me a clearer idea.  To begin we wrote down everything we could think of that reminded us of school. I had the usual things such as; desk, table, teacher, but I also had emotions such as boredom and stress. After this we were randomly choosing shot types out of a bag. We then had to write the shot type next to a related thought of school. From this we had our idea and then had to film it. We were all given a camera and had to go and film out thoughts.
Editing the footage didn't take too long as it was mainly syncing and very little effects. I tried to use a specific clip that related to the song e.g. when you see the CCTV camera the pitch drops, this is the represent the deep sounds as safety and security etc. There was lots of cutting involved which is what we were told to do for our music video.
This helped my editing skills and my syncing skills, it also helped me with using others footage and how to interpret a video.
