Influential Styles For Performance - Other Artists

Best Of You - Foo Fighters



For our performance, we wanted to include some footage of it in-between points that show the narrative cohesively. In the Foo Fighters 'Best Of You', the narrative is made of imagery and symbols whilst the performance is used to make the narrative seem dynamic and meaningful. Most of the video is focused on the performance, but the imagery gives it more depth. This is what we want to use in our music video, but only in a way that makes the performance run smoothly with the narrative. The Foo Fighters perform in an open area, which is what we also want to do so that there is more space for us to get practical ideas for how we would go about doing it.

Many Of Horror (When We Collide) - Biffy Clyro



Like the Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro use their performance in time with the song to make the video more dynamic, especially when the song comes to a crescendo near the end. They also use the idea of performing in an open area, but they also made the area very dark in contrast to 'Best Of You'. 'Many Of Horror' uses abnormal visuals to make the vocalist and the surroundings seem more manic than they were at the start of the video. Because our video tries to show the good/bad sides of going out/staying indoors, we may want to use these kinds of visuals to show the contrast in those things. The slow-motion transitions during the performance could also be a good continuity method to use when the song is amplified or toned down.
