"How have you combined the 'same but different' (N.Lacy 1999) and the 'familiar and unexpected' (G.Burton 2000) in your final piece?" (A2)

'Same but different' - i.e. real media conventions and your ideas/creativity.

150 words.



In our music video we took inspiration from a few places and altered them to either fit our style of video or to add our own stamp on them. For example we used the style of Benny Hill and him chasing people round but added our own spin by putting the band in costumes which also fitted our vision of the band being cheeky. 
In our video we took inspiration from a whole music video and fitted it in about 20 seconds of our final video. The video for Coldplay - Strawberry Swing is entirely made out of stop motion and chalk drawings; this video took months to create and we only had weeks so we needed to make it more simple massively so what we did was just use it to create footsteps and a tyre track. 
One more thing we did was take inspiration from a music video of another genre, in Cher Lloyds video Swagger Jagger there are a lot of pop up words linking the visuals and lyrics, because that wouldn't fit our genre so we decided to make a cardboard sign and write Carlisle on to link the line 'Just like Carlisle'.
