My A2 Advanced Portfolio Blog
In this blog, i will be researching, and developing my own music videos around the genre of metal, and more specifically, Nu Metal, a genre which incorporates a 'rap' like twist on the conventions of metal. I will also produce a single cover, and advertisement for my chosen song, and accompanying video.
Primus - Tommy the Cat

One final video which inspires me is 'Primus- Tommy the Cat'. It incorporates the stereotypical darkness of Nu Metal videos, but adds a comical twist. Although it will be difficult to merge the comedic nature of this video, with the serious themes of Korn and Rammstein', i will try to incorporate elements of both. I will also avoid the cartoon section of this video. The live action section of this video makes use of the shaky cam technique, which gives a frantic feel to the video, which is common within many Primus music videos, due to the crazy and weird nature of the band.

Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt

This is another video in which i will draw inspiration, there is a common theme of darkness, between this and 'Korn- Love and Meth', and therefore, i will try to incorporate darkness to the best of my ability. Also, based off of this, i may need actors to portray a band for the video. The video follows a simple theme with rare use of effects, with the majority of the video's focus being on the band itself through the story of an urban legend of an asylum; a Boogeyman- esque character)

When i think of Nu Metal, one of the first bands to come to mind is Korn. I really like the concept of the video, with its theme of being controlled, and although, without most of the expensive effects and the band itself, i would like to emulate this idea.
