Knock you down was quite an inspirational video as it is also about two contrasting guys. I found that the range of shots used in particular and the gestures of both Neyo and Kanye West were what made this video more interesting to watch.
Other ideas I got from watching this video were:
As we have location limitations, we could base the performance within the narrative. Therefore, as well as the studio shots we
could have the main guy singing in his bedroom thinking about the past. This is where we could add in the flashbacks of him and his best friend when they were younger to anchor the line ‘school boy fists’.Other shots could include:
- a photo of the guy and girl in his room- he could perhaps rip it
- shots of him sitting on the bed thinking
- hand on his head to show he is upset
- Looking at himself in the mirror – ‘who’s gonna take you home..if it isn’t me’
This split screen using colour and black and white would be good to highlight the contrast between the two guys especially when the song goes ‘who’s gonna take you home?’… ‘I’m gonna take her home’
