3rd video Ruff Intelligence – Sax N Ting
This is the song I am planning to create a music video for, unfortunately the artist is not ‘big’ enough to produce a video for his track but in my opinion the music creates a very clear picture of what sort of video would suit the track.
Videos that can portray what sort of video I want to create to coincide with it would be:
A clear example of Film Noir that displays classic traits and motifs that I hope to include in my video. Examples of these motifs would be the concept of the ‘Femme fatale’, the low-key black and white visual style and the narrative most commonly associated with Film Noir, crime dramas.
Another product that demonstrates the angle I am going for is the recently created ‘Rock star games’ video game: ‘L.A. Noire'
Film Noir focuses on the darker side of the human condition and L.A. Noire ticks all the boxes by shooting the game in the distinctive visual styles of Film Noir, dealing with narratives including crime fighting, corruption gambling and drugs. To top it all off the entire games soundtrack consists of Jazz.
So aside from these specific themes and motifs, Film Noir also puts very strong emphasis on voyeurism and the admiration of the female body, another reference to the concept of the ‘femme fatale’ which originated from the early 90’s during the era of Film Noir.
