Song Lyrics

[Chorus]
The tarantula,
Time for the massive come

Don't play with my style I

You want me inject me

And if ya body goin’ stiff
And your spine

Now come fi get some...

Massive! Time

[Verse]
Shotter, hitter, serial killer
Go-a your funeral and all

When you are bury we a-stand next to

Fling on some dirt and make your bury a little

Shouldn’t test the youth them in the Tommy

Hug up ya mama, say sorry to ya poppa
All-a

It true we cold lïke

[Chorus]

These low buget music videos show different ways which you can make a music video with hardly any money. The music video "Jenny Again" shows that you can make a good looking music video by the way the lighting is shot in the frame.

Genre of Band

As mentioned before, as a group we decided to use Electronic Rock/Drum n Bass as our chosen genre for our music video. Our song choice is "Tarantula" by Pendulum.

We decided upon the genre of Drum n Bass after our original choice of Reggae fell through due to the need of extravagant/exotic locations and so on.

Roles Within the Group

Andrew – Organizing Musicians to come and perform in the music video in the Live Music sections.

Georgina – Maybe acting as “character” in the narrative sections of the Music Video. Also in charge of organization (such as Shooting Schedules).

John – In the video as the DJ (using the decks as heard in the track). Also planning about the image of the band. Most imagery within the storyboards.

James - Filming and editing.

Bordwell and Thompsons four categories of editing

Graphic
Draws upon mise en scene and cinematography,
Graphic match – linking shots by graphic similarities,
Graphic continuity – centre of interest constant throughout the cuts
Graphic discontinuity – juxtaposition of centre of interest.

Rhythmic
Considers the duration of each shot.

Spatial
Mise en scene – how it is established.

Temporal
To do with time – is it like a film ? is it in chronological order ?

This is Bordwell and Thompsons four categories of editing which gives me some ideas on the editing i can use when i edit my music video.
