Just tonight- lip sync

Before I started filming the final video I decided to make an attempt at a lip sync video. This allowed me to get some experience with syncing my video footage with the lyrics and music. To set my lip sync video apart from others I also decided to use footage of myself playing guitar so that I could also sync up the video and the music. This also prepares me for when I have to edit my final music video as I will have footage of narrative and performance.

Going To Hell!

One of the bands that I have looked at have just released a new music video. It's different to the other videos I have looked at fro inspiriation so I wanted to have a closer look at it. I thought it would be fitting to analyse their new video and to get ideas and inspiration for the video for 'Whore'.

The Pretty Reckless inspiration

The Pretty Reckless are a band from New York whose music falls under the genre hard and alternative rock, The current members are Taylor Momsen -lead vocals, rhythm guitar, Ben Phillips -lead guitar, backing vocals, Mark Damon -bass and Jamie Perkins -drums.


Because they are part of my main influence to my music video I think that it is important to present evidence of independent research I have done. I have looked to some of their previous music videos for ideas and costume design.

Costume ideas

Looking at the codes and conventions of rock and costumes of rock artists I put together a mood board with possible costumes designs.

Location ideas

After watching a few music video I put together a mood board of the locations I would like to film at. Because the song is dark I want to film in 'dark' locations in the evening so that my music video has a mysterious and dangerous feel to it. I also think that this will fit the codes and conventions of my genre.
