Summer Work 3

This video is Michael Jacksons "Smooth Criminal". This is a very long and clever video and the director has took a movie styled approach to this video. This is good for my research as for our groups video we may look at different approaches to filming and taking a movie scene is something we could look at. As we have chosen Justin Bieber's "As Long as You Love Me" it is a song that is fitting for us to take a movie like approach. In this video i like the sort of "Classic Gangster" theme that is going on and the video plays Reference to the Crime film genre in general, particularly with the appearance of ‘Tommy Guns’. Similar to Jackson’s previous videos with a big theatrical production and high levels of choreography, therefore appealing to his fans. The narrative of the performance interwinds with the video throughout. All in all looking at this video has helped my research as it gives us another angle to look at during filming our own music video.
