Researching On Hardcore

Now knowing our track and Genre of our music, we had to begin reseraching other music videos that included key characteristics and a sterotype of a hardcore track.

Our first video that we came upon was:
Masters of Hardcore - Statement of Disorder



This video gave us a rough outline to what type of settings, locations, lighting, editing and footage were in hardcore events and videos. We knew that fast clips and shots would be needed in capturing our new footage and in our editing. Editing shots to the main beat and rhythm was also a key feature for us to make the shots more intense as were drawing in your attention whilst getting into the beat. Most hardcore videos will include this feature. Fast forward and slow motion effects are added to build up the climax of the song. Bright colours and extremely bright flashing lights also help to show the suspension in this. To show this is our video we used effects such as flashing lights overlapping, fast forwarding, rewinds, pans, handheld camera shots to get the correct beat in editing our footage. We slowed the music down to count the amount of bars between each section for the flashing lights and shots to match in time.

Another video we anaylised was:
Masters of Hardcore - Symphony of Sins



This hardcore video has an extremely good climax to the song. The footage that is used to show the build up is very effective. The shots of the foot still then walking increases the camera shot larger and the pace faster also among the topic of the video arriving at an arena. Linking this into our music video we included shots such as running on the beach and still shorts to show our tension. We used the same forms and conventions of what real media uses in showing there tension.
