Personally this is one of my favourite music videos of all times for many reasons, such as it having one of my favourite comedy actors and one of my favourite artists, Ben Stiller and Jack Johnson.
my favourite concept about this music video is its use of cinematic comical short clips where there are 2 in the music video, one during the beginning and when half way through. During the first scene, Ben Stiller runs over a chicken as jack johnson shows his sympathy and calm nature.
The music video its self is based on making the music video of taylor as it portrays Ben Stiller filming his first music video which adds a comical factor to it which inits self breaks away from the stereotypical indie rock genre which is usually a serious music video.
The music video is based on Ben Stiller trying to direct the music video by imitating what he wants Jack Johnson to do as Jack Johnson doesn't seem too keen on Ben Stiller's ideas.
Most of the camera shots which are used are medium to medium close up shots which show the facial features of the people.
During the surfing scene where Ben Stiller is being impersonated by Jack Johnson who was once a champion surfer. They do this by giving Jack Johnson a brown wig and wear the same navy blue wet suit. I personally would have never guessed this however i researched the making of this music video. This scene incorporates a mix of slow motion shots to fish eye shots (bulge shots).
The end scene incorporates both diagetic and nondiagetic sounds as you hear Ben Stiller talking over the outro solo on the guitar.
All in all I intend on using alot of the aspects used in this music video from Slow motion shots to location shots as I intend on shooting my music video on holiday in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands of spain where there are Beautiful beaches, one being the 3rd best beach in Spain, Famara. This beach is 6 miles long and has a huge mountain range surrounding the Horizon. I plan to be shooting this music video with an old friend who lives there, she is a well respected singer and will also hopefully get some live session shots of her sining this song to a fairly big crowd in a local bar that Called La Cantina which my dad owned and made. We were thinking in investing in a 'Go Pro Sports Camera' which is a water proof head cam which I intend on using to get some surfing footage which would go very nicely with my music video.
