3OH!3

We've decided to study an artist called 3oh!3, they are a reasonably new electro pop group. They would be an ideal artist to make a video for as they're up beat music have clear beats to cut to and they're fun lyrics inspire a lot of creativity so we can explore ideas for what we can produce for our music video.

Another good thing about this band as because they are reasonably new we practically have free reign on what we want to choose, and we have a  broad selection as they have 2 albums "Want" and "Streets of Gold".

Their lyrics are very creative and fun which would make the process of making the video enjoyable and again a wide selection for ideas. Their videos are very creative and unique which also enables us to be free with our video.

They over exaggerate the stereotypes to draw attention to this, by over exaggerating "sexy cool moves" and over emphasizing the careless destructive actions of rock stars by diving over a table full of food, or destroying the instruments/sound speakers. The women's are stereotypically shown, again their actions over emphasized, dressed in make up and skimpy outfits, mauling the men.

Double vision is  particularly interesting and post modern as it imitates a computer screen which is obvious to the audience because it's not made to look realistic. The "computer screen" is made out of cardboard pieces and art and the artists and actors in the video make movements as if they were standing, but laying down.
