Video Inspiration No.2

Upon researching videos for my appropriate genre, it became apparent that the 'band scene' is an essential part of any rock band's music video. This video, like many of HIM's videos, concentrates mainly on the look, accentuating the beauty of the location combined with the poetic nature of the song. One thing i picked up on is the effect Bam Margera (the director) has used on the shots of Ville Valo (the lead singer)'s vocals. He shoots the close ups of the singing, and some of the other band shots, at one and a half times the speed and then slows the video down again in editing to match the audio, causing a slow motion effect. I think this, not only generally looks cool, but also suits the vocals of the band incredibly well and is therefore an effect i would wish to use in my video, as i will be using one of their songs.
