Pete Fraser 10 step theory

The 10 steps of Pete Fraser...

Step 1 - Limber up
Film some test footage
Learn to lip sync
Watch some music videos in the same genre you're doing
Have you got the music and an audible source?

Step 2 - Choose the right track
Choose a song carefully... choose as less well known one
Make it short... around 3m30s
Make sure you won't get bored by listening to the song a lot of times

Step 3 - Write a plan of action
Pitch it as a simple idea

Have a clear concept
Get an idea of what the codes and conventions are

Aim to shoot with plenty of time

Step 5 - Use the blog properly
Research the genre in detail
Upload all work even screenshots or unfinished/rough cuts etc
Be media rich and include good techniques and language usage

Step 6 - The Shoot
Try and film roughly 3-4 times so you have different footage and different shots
Experiment with a variety of shots and extra angles
Enthuse your performer/artist
Shoot more than you need/plan to need

Step 7 - The raw footage
Break it into manageable chunks
Upload as soon as you can
Be critical with your footage, if it isn't good enough then refilm

Get the whole picture instead of little details
Cut and cut again
Aim for a dynamic piece of work

Textual Analysis - Sia Chandelier

Textual analysis of Toxic - Britney Spears

Britney Spears TOXIC Performance – When she is on the phone, it acts as if she is telling the story whereas the shots of her in her white suit is aimed to be more sexual and less story based. She performs every now and then in her see through suit where she dances and its quicker shots. Whereas when she’s walking on the plane its longer shots and slower crops, the shot on the plane tells more of a narrative.

Shown by the costumes she is in and also movements, she is quite confident and out there, giving her a powerful image. Although the plane is filled with men she is dominant over them. Lyrics - Helps tell the story or give a general feeling or mood. Don...
