Backward music videos:
As I have said before I wanted to do a backwards music video. When something is filmed and played back backwards, everyday actions come out very peculiar and abstract. I wanted to do a backwards music video because of this and its originality. Also as backwards music videos start at the end of a story line it raises a lot of questions for the audience which will be answered at the end, which is what will probably draw most people in. The two backward music videos that stood out to me the most are AltJ's 'Breezeblocks' and Summer camps 'Fresh' (which is the music video I recreated for my preliminary task.)
The Breezeblocks music video is a massive inspiration for my music video as not only is it a backwards music video but also a music video with a powerful message - domestic abuse. However as it starts at the end where the husband end up killing the wife, we are under the assumption that he abuses her, but as we find out at the end of the video, it is the wife who originally tried to kill the husband as she figured out he was having an affair. So there is another message behind this that domestic abuses is a two way street. A lot of aspects have inspired ideas for my music video, for example the low key lighting, the (backward) smashing of bottles.
In Summer Camps Fresh, music video, There is no real story behind it, it is just really a woman singing in front of a pink background which a few backward shots. However when reversed it looks like she is singing forward so she would have to learn The words backwards, so that it something to consider when filming my music video.
