Music Video

I chose to do a music video that is not serious at all. I chose to do Ylvis's The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?). This video starts out acting like it may be serious then you notice all the costumes and realize it is not. During the singing only parts of the video they use a lot of mid-range and close up shots but when the dancers come in they switch to a lot of long shots. The whole time the camera feels like it is handheld. There is one shot where the singer looks away and when he looks back they do a quick cut to him in the fox costume in the exact same place. This transitions us into the bitterness of the video. The props are the lighting itself because most of the lights they use are visible. It's hard to tell if all the shots were shot on set or if it was all shot outside so I would say its a mixture of both.

  1. Good. The lights are part of the set design. The only lights that are props are the flashlights that are held. You are correct most of this is handheld. There is also some steadicam. Most of it is shot on location at the house and in the woods, though there is some CG work with the fox. The other part that is worth exploring is the difference in color and light between the locations.
