Satire music videos- further research

In our music video we are going to become different music genres such as rock, country ect.. The genres will be very exaggerated and focus on the conventions of that style of music. The music video is going to be a satire of popular music genres. This has been done in previous music videos in an attempt to mimic genre conventions. This blog post shows some the parody videos that we took inspiration from 

"Hopeless Wanderer" by Mumford and Sons mimics the band itself. The performers are comedy brothers Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Ed Helms, and Will Forte who dress as the real Mumford and Sons band. The video is a satire of all the Mumford and Sons videos. The boys exaggerate conventions used in previous Mumford and Son videos with extreme banjo playing and countryside setting. The band played on image to create a memorable comedic music video

"Dani California" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is a satire which mimics past bands and performers. The band become famous characters throughout history and replicate them through costume and iconic movements. This makes the video easily assessable to different audiences because of references to performers of different genres. This is quite similar to how we hope ours will look as we are going to replicate famous music genres by imitating costumes. 

"All The Small Things" by Blink-182 is a music video which makes fun at the music industry conventions. Its uses iconic shots and scenes but adds a comical twist. For example the water being poured on the band members. This has been used in music videos throughout history. It is used to create 'sex appeal' yet Blink-182 copy this but make it comical by showing the hose. Ours will use elements of this but will not focus on such obvious comedy.

"Walks Like Rihanna' is one of the newest music video parodies. In the video The Wanted recreate famous music videos by infamous boy bands (such as Take That and The Backstreet Boys). It focuses mainly on the look of the band and their iconic videos.

The "Let's Dance" video is joke at all the conventions of a typical music video. It includes all the conventions which are used within mainstream music video. It is comical because of the ridiculous nature of the  video. It includes elements that we will use such as exaggerating the typical features of a music video. 

We like the way that the video are able to be entertaining whilst still professional. We wanted to keep the same feel in the music videos above by being able to entertain the audience without being over the top. We will revisit some of these videos during the filming and editing process to looks at how they cut and shot the videos to get a comedic effect.
