Comparing Videos

When comparing Katy B's videos, 3 main songs of hers come to be quite similar in terms of editing and filming. All three videos include slow motion, extreme close ups and go in and out of focus through out the video. These are three key elements we are keen to use in our own video.

During 1:05-1:08 we see the camera go in and out of focus on the artist. This happens constantly during the video, possibly trying to give the video a chaotic atmosphere seeing as the genre is Dubstep which is quite fast and the setting is base in a club where the artist is performing. At 0:20-0:21 we receive an extreme close up of Katy B's lips, again which are focused in and out as she sings. We wish to use both these methods in our video as it just seems typical to have a chaotic styled video for a Dubstep song. 

Again this video is set in a club/studio, majority of the shots are mid and close up. At the beginning 0:06-0:07 we have an out of focus to and in focus shot of the artist which is very useful as it kind of introduces the artist which we would like to use in our video. Now and then the artist comes into the camera (3:03-3:06) but we feel as if this gives the video an amateurish sense of filming which we don't want. 

Having this song as our actual song choice we have already mentioned that we will be keeping the slow motion movement in our video similar to this one. Additionally this video contains some reverse editing (1:11-1:13) which we might want to use. Again there is an introduction to the artist at the beginning (0:02-0:04) of the video of  her being focused out then in.
