We are doing a music video for the song “Thumbelina’s Story” by Shadows Chasing Ghosts. The genre of this band is Post Hardcore, so I am going to look at some other Post Hardcore bands Music Videos. These are A Day to Remembers, “Since you’ve been gone” cover, and, We are the Ocean’s song “Nothing good has happened yet”.
Both of these videos show performances by the musicians, this appears to be quite a popular technique to be used by the Post hardcore bands, another popular technique is to use a mixture of performance and narrative, this both shows technique and shows a story. When the performance part of the music video is been shown, they mainly focus on the Vocalist or Frontman, as these usually represent the face of the band. On the music video for “Since you’ve been gone” we see a narrative over a period of time perhaps only a few days, whereas on the music video for “Nothing good has happened yet” we see only performance of the band changing through different locations and settings and focusing attention on the instrument being used mainly at the time. Bands of the Post Hardcore Genre often use this. The Video.
In the video for “Since you’ve been gone” we see use of Illustrative visuals with relevance of narrative to the lyrics, whereas in the video for “Nothing good has happened yet”, we see amplifying visuals with no narrative and only use of beats and performance that go to the beat and rhythm of the song.
The Video for “Since you’ve been gone” by “A Day to Remember” is cover of a song by “Kelly Clarkson”, and they use a lot of intertextual reference by doing the same video as her with more comical aspects inserted into it. The other video does not contain any of these aspects.
