This music video is for the song "If You Wanna" by The Vaccines, a modern indie rock band. This video is shot in a studio and uses professional equipment such as lots of lighting and coloured filters. It is a very colourful yet simple music video concept that implements the use of silhouettes to give a crisp, indie band look.
Camera Techniques:
- lots of wide shot used to show the whole band together as a silhouette against the coloured backgrounds
- side angles give a closer look and give the feel of being onstage with them
- shots from behind the band onstage, reveals the lights in front of them, different angles on the band make it more multi-dimensional
- close-ups on instruments and band members
- camera moves around on shots of band members, slightly shaky, typical of indie rock music videos, makes it look more unpolished and interesting
Editing Techniques:
Mise En Scene:
- quick cuts between shots usually in time with music
- cutting between shots gets faster when the song gets faster and is slower when the song gets slower
- kept very simple, main focus of the video is the bold coloured backgrounds and the band
Mise En Scene:
- lighting has been used to its full potential, with boldly coloured backlights
- a range of colours are used in the lights, all very bold and bright, brightness is changed in them making them flare
- band are portrayed as indie, move around onstage a lot, simply stylised
