Our Track: Daft Punk - 'Around The World'

Sunday 21 October 2012

Eg. Video 14: DSL - Supalove

Artist: DSL
Song: Supalove
Year: 2008
Genre: Electronic/Hip-Hop



DSL are a a pair of siblings from France. They make original songs and remixes of existing tracks with an electronic rap style. The video is introduced with the name of the song on a cereal box which gets kicked over. Something like this to introduce our own video might be a good idea. The video involves a man walking around a house and down the street with the frame only on his feet and lower legs. 

The song features dance moves of sorts with the mans feet and also features lip syncing. However this is no normal lip syncing, the shoes look like they are singing the lyrics. The song has a catchy chorus which can easily be replicated with rapping in the verses. The dance moves are also something which can be replicated to help advertise the song and spread it around. 

The song features constant a close up shot angle which occasionally pans outward. Another feature is cutting to the beat again at the beginning of the song which is a common convention. There also appears to be a slightly grey colour correction on the whole video which makes the red shoes stand out more than the background.

What we took from the video:
  • Reference to the artist
  • Lip syncing
  • Dance moves
  • Prolonged angles
  • Cutting to the beat
  • Colour manipulation
