Evaluation of 3 different music videos (Part 2; Beirut's ''Elephant gun'')

Beirut - Elephant Gun
 

 

This video is a performance piece that heavily features dance as one of it's methods.

There are only 2 locations required for this; a heavily decorated single large room, and a beach.

There is only 1 outfit required for the main characters of the video (maybe a second one for the central performer for the beach shot). there may be multiple other costumes required for the supporting cast of the video.

One of the primary issues I can highlight with the filming of this video is the fact it is a tight and clustered environment - there are plenty of opportunities for equipment to be moved, or even damaged in the process. It might also prove difficult to film in this environment.

The primary logistical issue I can find with filming this video would be the filming on the beach; it would require a lot of time to move filming equipment and cast/crew to this location, as well as potential for water damage to the equipment.

The only significant issue of post-production I can find is the need for a fade between sets in the video; possibly requiring a green screen and significant FX usage.

This is a typical music video, mostly because of it's usage of the band members themselves as actors within the video, as well as the presentation of their performance within the video.
