"Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art."
Charlie Parker
I believe that the pop
video we created of ‘Ta Douleur’ by Camille reflects this quote perfectly. We showed that there are in fact no limits or boundaries to pop videos, through the use of jump cuts, discontinuity, bright colours, and the abstract performance of both artists. It appears that the artist is expressing her true thoughts on a distracting situation through her lyrics and movements, and with the help of a camera, we tried to give truth to what the famous saxophonist stated.
There weren’t any technical problems that we encountered during our process of making the pop video. It was an enjoyable experience, although at times it was difficult, I learnt alot about pre-production, green screen and layering, as well as other aspect to contribute to pop videos, like Negus’ conventions, which we tried to imitate and subvert throughout the video.
If I were to do this process again, I may have changed the song, for a more upbeat song; therefore I could incorporate more dance, and therefore short and sharp shots, which can be more enjoyable to watch. It would, however, like t
o keep a French song, as I like the dynamic and how it meant the visual aspects of the video were far more important, due to the lyrics being unknown to much of the audience.
I felt that the two artists, Ruby and Lukas, were particularly successful in their work. They both were talented, Ruby in that she worked great of camera, and was a fantastic dancer, similarly, Lukas, whose talent on the trapeze meant we could incorporate something very unique into our video. The use of colour, in the set, make up and the costumes worked well, as it heightened the abstract world that we were trying to create, and it made the whole atmosphere brighter.
Overall, the process was a great experience, and I enjoyed working with practising film makers to make the pop video, and I felt that it was a success in that it was interesting to watch, talented in form of editing and filming, and enjoyable to make.
