Our Track: Daft Punk - 'Around The World'

Tuesday 23 October 2012

Eg. Video 16: Sebastian - Embody

Song: Embody
Artist: Sebastian 
Year: 2011
Genre: Electronic House





The video features a boy who is taught how to dance and goes around different places dancing around in front of people in seemingly awkward areas eg. In a bath and on tables where people are eating. People don't seem notice him and carry on like he's not there. He gets dressed up in a suit and continues with a similar, easily replicable style of dancing. At the end of the video he is dancing with a girl but the music is switched off and the dancing man disappears. 
The song starts out with a fairly slow pace of editing in a continuity style. There are transitions used such as cross fades and jump cuts. The editing jumps to the beat when the drum machine kicks in. In most of the shots there is a device playing music. The video makes good use of multiple locations and characters which I think will be an important factor in making our coursework video engaging to the audience. The video is funny and and very catchy. 

What we took from the video:
  • Replicable dance moves
  • Fades and jump cuts
  • Multiple locations
  • Character interaction
