Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to document the progress of this group's A2 music video project and any related tasks or work related issues to the project at hand by posting updates in different media forms such as images, video, text, etc.

The blog is named The Gondry Gang as this group is been assigned to study Michel Gondry and his workings as a director of music videos so that the group can get some inspiring ideas of their own. Our group has been selected to study the work of director Michel Gondry for his use of visual gags, timing, rhythm and optical trickery that really exaggerates how weird and illusional music videos can really be. Which is exactly what is inspiring to us to attempt to do for our music video, although probably not as mind wandering and quite poorly done but worth doing it for the creativity.

The music genre that our group has chosen to study and base the music video on are Electronica, alternative rock and techno music and any possible similarities between those genres. Although the the genre of our track may essentially not really matter, so along as it isn't rap, r 'n' b or pop rock, what will matter to us is that we will be able to sync the performing of the track with weird visual trickery that at least makes a little references to the genre of the track with perhaps some intertextuality of other music videos or media forms that our group finds inspiring.
