Donkey Boy- Ambitions

This is a music video by a popular band, Donkey Boy. The video written, directed and cut by Kristoffer Borgli and the narrative is based on a fictional disease, which cause individuals to lose their ambition.

Although this is a music video, there are filming and editing techniques which I find interesting and could be use din my short film.

The opening of the music video, which numerous static shots flashing on screen, is vert engaging to the audience, it shows the mise en scene and gives you information on the character and where the music video is set. This is a very powerful idea as in short films, there is not time to describe and display every detail on screen.

I enjoyed the scene where the girl is cycling on the bike, it was achieved pre- editing by lower the shutter speed. This effect could of been achieve in editing however it would of reduced the quality of footage. This is an example of the directing thinking of the footage being edited, so it is 'shooting for purpose'.

The colour in the music video is tinted blue and has cold and warm lighting. Each scene is meticulous structured and shows strong signs of the directors effective planning.
