This is one of my favourite film clips in the music industry. The song is 'What's On Your Radio?' by Australian band The Living End.
This film clip is fun and fast and employs an interesting use of techniques. It is depicted as an old, grainy film and makes reference to the early years of horror film and radio with its typography and inserted backgrounds and effects.
What I like about this clip is that it parodies an old style of film around fast, modern music. I think the quick camera movements are done (probably in post production) very well and it has a strong opening and ending. The electricity, radio waves and buildings are true to its genre.
This clip is an inspiration to me, showing you can mix opposites and still achieve a fantastic piece. If I delve into film clip making, this will be a reminder of effective aesthetics in film-work and post production.
I think there are a lot of films/music clips out there which try to parody the olden film genre and aren't quite successful. 'What's On Your Radio?' however, does achieve this effect exceptionally well, making it a humorous, light-hearted piece with a catchy rock tune.
A lot of The Living End's clips use background animation and graphics, such as 'Who's Gonna Save Us?' and 'Wake Up'. More clips can be found in the Media section on their website.
