You identified the 3 essentials that almost every great film has: an evocative mood (creepy or funny or nostalgic, etc.), an effective mise en scene(as established by the lighting/environment)and a proper rhythm of transitions (determined by the cuts). Those are essentials to live by when you're making a film or video.Danny Jiminianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590721837412810793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522466368655166636.post-30574882154192310752013-06-27T18:08:38.215-04:002013-06-27T18:08:38.215-04:00Roger Ebert used to say that a great film has at l...Roger Ebert used to say that a great film has at least 3 great things in it, and no bad ones. Although this is a music video, the same rules apply. The creepy mood is established through the props that do something more powerful than depict violence, they imply it. The lighting, both indoors and outdoors still creates a claustrophobic, oppressive environment that puts you into the head of the man in the video. And finally, I love it when scenes cut in time with the beat. It puts you into the music, and puts the motion of it into the whole experience.Anibal 3noreply@blogger.com
