Daft Punk Song Elimination

Song Choices

X Robot Rock - no lyrics
One More Time - Maybe

Lyrics One More Time lyrics
X Burnin'-No lyrics
X Face to Face - No lyrics

Know I have eliminated various song choices from both my questionnaire and further exploring I have decided that the other songs I considered either :-
1. Had lyrics which I deemed to have no adaptable storyline or that I could create and conceivable idea . eg. All Around The World.
2.Had no lyrics just a base beat so wasn't complex enough.
3.Strong was to well known and successfully replicated eg. Harder , Faster Stronger and would almost be to stereotypical to be successful and eye catching.

This left me with one song choice... 'One More Time' by Daft Punk
So what do I like about the video ?

There are a variation of aspects which I like about 'One More Time' , but there is also some aspects I didn't like however the majority positive.
Disadvantage

1. The style of animation / CGI is very unique and specific and almost creates a childish feel.
2. The colours used were very old fashioned and pastel like which doesn't have such a impact and acts effectively as a story but could be conceived as a cartoon or armature video due to the factors above.

Advantages

1. The wide use of shot types are very effective and interesting to the eye:-

• Quick cuts are all in conjunction with the music creating sync. which is pleasing to the eye.
• All movements of the animation are in congesting with the music therefore effective and dramatic with the beat as well as the mouths of the artists being in sync.
• The pan shot is used to show the diversity of goings on in one area and gives a sense of life action but artificially.
• The use of fades is very effective as i flows with the music and enables the transition between really high angle shots to extreme zooms.
• The use of establishing shots also enables the story to flow as it acts as a scene breaker and enforces the location of the video and therefore its sci-fi theme.
• The use of low angle shots and high angle shots also shows a clever use of variation of shots.
• The slow motion is cleverly used through out to mimic the music but also to show the merging of the characters to make the music this is assisted by a clever use of fades in conjunction and then the speed is managed to show the tempo of the music which is really effective.
• The extreme close up is also used to create a sense of authenticity eg. the character playing the piano.

Overall the video is very well put together and uses a variation of shots effectively and therefore uses both story mode and live action in a authentic but untrue manner.However the style of animation i dislike,however could be due to the era of the song and the genre of the music as sc-fi and electronic age.

This has given me allot of help and inspiration form my final product which when I have developed I will be posting for judgement.
