Are You Ready For Me?

"Are You Ready For Me?" is another single released from the upcoming band Pretty Vicious. The song title already implies that the band are quickly climbing up the ranks and aim to streamline their music in the likes of britpop hit Oasis and Punks finest Sex Pistols. The video is entirely shot in black and white, gaining a similarity of the music video "Cigarettes and Alcohol" by Oasis which I previously researched. If you listen to the two songs you instantly realise the strength and overdrive of the songs. Pretty Vicious are attempting to follow the footsteps of the britpop giants which shaped a generation. The Video features coloured flickers as if the camera is somewhat "Jolting" or lagging due to damage. This gives a distinctive edginess as well as a retro camera feel. This is an effect I would personally like to recreate in the editing of my music video. The video again focuses on the band as if they were performing live, giving a personal feel to the video and the track. The video exploits the harsh and "out there" body language of the whole entire band, mainly focusing on the frontman. This music video also has a large film noir element, focusing on light, shadows and silhouettes surrounding the band as a whole as well as individually. This is something I have already previously researched and would like to include in my music video. Additionally, this music video features a nice double vision effect, reflecting the distortion and overdrive of the track further. This is another effect I would personally like to exploit in my music video.

The alternate Lyric Video for this track is also a large inspiration if I choose to move down the lyric video route as it features a numerous amount of flickers and chaotic quick cuts to match the overdrive and tone of the track.
