Technical Analysis Evaluation: 3oh!3, ‘Don’t Trust Me’. Jack Clark

Although this genre of music is very different to the type of music we are doing, I feel that we can gain a lot from one of the sequences within the video. As our video is going to be a mock table tennis match, I analysed the sequence in the video when the two performers are in a mock wrestling match. There were not a vast amount of shots used in this sequence, however there were lots of jump cuts to allow the visuals to flow with the fast pace of the track. The fish eye lens was used for most of the visuals, however when the shots cut to different performance aspects of them the fish eye lens is not used. There is only really one camera shot used which is a MLS however the artists move closer and further away from the camera in its fixed position. There is only some movement involved which was a small pan up to keep the first person mode of address within view. There is a yellow filter used over the top of the footage to give it a bright and warm feeling during the wrestling.Also the brightness jas been turned up to increase the amount of light seen within the sequence. The shots cut back and forth from the wrestling sequence to MCU’S of the two performers lip syncing into the camera in a different environment. Only a steadycam was used in this sequence as the shots were very still and the was no shaking of the camera. By looking at this video I have thought that some performance aspects could be used during the table tennis match. Also that the fish eye lens could be a very effective look for the shots. I have also learnt that not using lots of different shots can be very effective and that the performance could keep the tempo of the song apparent in the visuals.
