Last week we were shown the video to 'Move Along' by The All-American Rejects by Miss Fernandez. For the majority of the lyrics, the lead singer is placed in the middle of the screen, singing into the camera. A similar effect can be seen in Weezer's video for 'Pork and Beans'. Whilst the shots are all static in the video for Move Along, this is hidden by the change of location and costume, and is actually a clever piece of editing as the shot appears to be constant, with the singer in the same place throughout.
Despite the arduous task we would have after shooting in order to edit all the shots together, we could incorporate this into our music video for the chorus (for example) interspersed with a narrative. Furthermore, the person in screen may not have to sing either. Another problem that this technique would throw up is that it would be difficult to edit all of the shots together.
