music video

Students,

Just a reminder that you should be researching videos for your blogs from a variety of genres. Some good directors are: Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham and Garth Jennings - google their names or type them into you tube- it will introduce you to videos of genres that you perhaps wouldn't have accessed independently. This video is a simple concept - made with mini cameras attached to bicycle helmets. Simple idea, really effective video. The filmmaker was Adam Buxton - explore his you tube channel too if you have time.
