Urge To Overkill is an alternative rock band, formed in Chicago. They were formed in 1987 and are still going today. Their most renowned song is their cover of Neil Diamond's 'Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon' which was featured in the famous film Pulp Fiction. They are another band famously known for reinventing the past as they were inspired by the 1950's and all their live performances include elements of old 1950's tv music. For example the live version of 'Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon'.
As you can see the band are again dressed up smart like we aim to do too. This video acts as the main inspiration of camera techniques as it really captures the band from many angles. Take for instance the high angle low tilt (1:11) which captures the whole band as if it is a point of view from the crowd.
Also there are several close ups of the lead singer and the microphone which shows detail and can act as a selling point as it is showing his face and detailed emotional state when singing the song. We would like our lead singer to be having fun as it is a fast paced song so it builds up excitement, therefore these shots will be repeated as we are editing as if it combines a choreographed video with an improvised performance. Further wide shots will be used especially for the musicians with the instruments just like the video above. Each musician has their own style of movement with the instrument in which we will recreate with our members. Lastly I like that the camera is at a low angle with a high tilt which acts as a fan looking up at the band member, however we want our fans to band to connect to the audience so we will have the singer looking into the camera as if he is looking at you. Overall this live performance of Urge Overkill demonstrates the key types of shot we would like to use within our music video and what the shots may represent.
