Year 13 Induction

For our media project, we have decided to work with brief 1.
 Brief - a promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with; a cover for its release (DVD/CD package) and a magazine advertisement.
Our initial ideas for this would be to write and record a song with 'diabolical dispatch' and then to make the video based around the song. we intend to include some shots of the band members skating and playing (the music within a band practice). video's that inspire our ideas for the video are as follows;
Blink 182 - Rock Show
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWemwyqpIpg
From this video we want to take the idea of having a big crowd of people to cheer on the music, like in the shot taken 1 minute 33 seconds in.
Andrew WK - We Want Fun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49mDdQSwPaA
One thing we want to take from this video is the bounciness of the music. we also would like take the idea of throwing someone into a pool as it adds to the fun element that we want to achieve. we like the idea of getting people to fall over as it shows people that skaters fall over as well as achieving the desired trick. i like the idea that they use on the opening, as in this video they show a mysterious car driving up to the camera, i would like to achieve a similar effect by getting the band members to walk towards the camera.
OPM - Heaven Is A Half pipe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1QMFOR5wi8
The thing i want to take away from this video is the camera angels from when the skater is skating, and doing tricks on the ramp. i think the angels used are really effective when it comes to showing the height achieved by the skater and the different skills used throughout the video.
Viva la Bam Season 2 - Bam Margera & Crew's Mardi Gras Skate Road Trip Episode Compilation/Montage
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSiy3BW89ro
The inspiration that i have got from this video is more related to the food fights and the mud fights. Also the idea of messing around with the skate boards is also appealing. there is a great shot of a skateboard trick at 3.30 in the video, i would like to be able to get this sort of angle from a trick being performed as it has a great effect.
Anti-Flag - "When All the Lights Go Out" Side One Dummy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVGw8nMUl-8
the idea that i want to take from this video is the one that you burn your past. in this video there is a slight hint of optimism and the thought of moving on. i want to be able to portray this in our video, the idea of burning the past and moving on and making use of what you have rather than letting it go to waste.

i love the idea of having a video that is punky but also fun, it really shows what they are as a group of people
