Nickelback

When we stand together

The First scene shot I took is from the first 10seconds of the song starting, this shows the band all together. I think this was done because of the song title ‘when we stand together’ this shows the band in a united front and the bright lighting creates a positive atmosphere which is fitting with what the message of the song is portraying.

Goodwin argues that there are three ways a videos can be made, this would be a amplification video. This is because the lyrics ‘one more depending on a prayer, and we all look away’ are sang, while a photo of a homeless person is on the street. It links because looking away is a general reaction to this situation.

This is giving him credit for his part in the band, Its shows the main riff for the song. It Also set the scene as its acoustic stereo typically would be played in the country. This music video shows both the band playing and relation of visuals to a song, Its shows the bands talent and love for music not just a video which contains half naked girls, drinking, and house party which are most commonly seen today.

Once again in this music video there is another visual relationship to the song, ‘we must stand together’ as it is sang this picture is shown on screen it works well for this video as they use different effects such a ‘fade out’ and ‘blur’, this may be something e could use in our video, but would have to be careful because if I was over done the video would become repetitive and boring.

There is loads of different shots used in the video, its continually changing to a different shot, these are some of the shot I think would be worth using when it comes to shooting our music video, I like the low angle as its something different and not commonly used.

What they have done with the middle Corus is circled the band, I think this is really effective they cut back and forth from there visual relations. It sets the full scene and give the band credit for the song.

This is the different shots of the drummer when he is doing his little solo, this is in beat with the different percussions with in the song so it changes frequently in time with the drum beat.

This is my favorite screen grab, he is hitting the guitar to the beat of the drum, I think it works really well, and its not common I want to use this in our video but make it ten times stronger by getting more people to hit random objects to the beat.

The song starts with everyone separate and fighting there old battles but in the end it shows that standing together as one we will be so much stronger, they show this with another visual relationship.
