Music Videos I'm influenced by or admire

Foo Fighters - Wheels


  • Mostly performance based
  • Band is largely spread out so only one member is focused on at once
  • Low key lighting
  • The images fade into each other, so while one member is on screen, another member fades in
  • Set in a warehouse type place, looks old and abandoned
  • Lots of individual lights turning on and off
  • Lots of wide angle shots and panning
  • Mixture of close ups and long shots of band members
  • Very Driven by the music

Dream Theater - Wither
  • Slow paced editing
  • Colours adjusted to a dark blue like colour to fit with the tone of the song
  • Clips of live performances and 'on tour' videos
  • Lots of slow motion
  • Performance based

Blink 182 - Always


  • Cool camera trick, three different recordings are spliced intro the one frame
  • All takes place in one room
  • All of the video is done in one take (or so it seems)
  • Is both narrative and performance based
  • Cleverly matches up the shots so they make a full person
  • Due to the three frames in one screen, the whole band can be seen in one shot
