Smoke and Flares

Smoke and Flares at live gigs are personally a great sight to see and shows dedication and passion to music at the gig. This is something id like to capture in my music video as there is a lot I can play around with. An example below of when I was at The Stone Roses gig in Manchester back in June and the amount of colours and smoke mixing was a brilliant sight to see.

Personally it captures the sheer madness and freedom that music brings to people.

Pacifier

Pacifier is a song released by Catfish and the Bottlemen from their debut album "The Balcony". The music video consists of a scrappy football game occurring in an abandoned warehouse. The use of darkness and flares is really inspiring to me as it can be symbolic to a number of things and represents the madness and freeness of music at gigs. I particularly like this video as it would be something I believe I can recreate. The warehouse is a great setting for manipulating the meaning of the music video and the song.  The best convention I have taken away from this video is that the video is based around the actual band. This convention is something that is aesthetically pleasing and is something id like to replicate in the construction of my own media product.
