1. I will be researching Warp and their ownership.
2. I will be embedding examples of Warp films and music videos that are similar to what I want to produce for this unit on to my blog.
This fulfils L01
What is it meant to do: It's meant to both entertain in its music and the shock the audience a little as it gets darker and stranger throughout the video.
What would I like to pastiche: I'm a fan of how it progressively gets weirder throughout the video, alongside some of the grim lighting. Also I really dig that the opening of the video is a shot at the woman's face and the ending also does this, to show her life isn't improving
Narrative: Seems to not have one, generally just dancing and with a feel good tone to it overall.
What is it meant to do? Fit towards the music with dancing and quick edits to convey
What would I Pastiche: I like the concept of a guy just walking in a city without a care in the world but other than that, not much to take out of it in my opinion.
Three Warp Records examples: (by the way if anyone of my teachers see this before I've done it, I will be editing it to be archived, just under a time limit right now)
When the Sun goes Down - Arctic Monkeys (2006) Music Video paul FRASER- -
Narrative: A homeless woman meets a man who becomes in control of what she does, getting stranger and more twisted as the video goes on.

Knife - Grizzly Bear (2007) Music Video
Narrative: A guy in a desert dies or something so another guy gives him crystals out of his crotch which make a bunch of claymation veins or something come out of his chest.. it's artsy..yeah
What is it meant to do: No idea. Entertain? For audiences to admire the stop motion blending with live action? If so it worked, I'm interested in the idea.
What would I like to Pastiche: maybe my nightmares will give me some inspiration. Seriously though I always love stop motion imagery, will maybe use in trailer.

Three Warp Films trailer examples:
This is England - Warp Films (2006) Movie Trailer - Shane MEADOWS
Narrative: Child growing up in the 1980s befriends a skinhead gang who soon prove to have bad influences on him, all while he deals with growing up and realising the problems of the world in that time period.
What is it meant to do? It appeals to the people who may have grown up in that time with nostalgic imagery at the start, but then flip it around and possibly shock people in the actions of people who were around then, specifically the skinheads.
What would I pastiche: Sudden shift in tone when the Bald guy comes is a pretty good way of doing a tone shift, the moral decline of someone (in this case, Shaun), the montage at the start seems like a good way to show time period.

Dead Man's Shoes - Warp Films (2004) - Shane MEADOWS
Narrative: Story of two brothers one gets abused by a gang of Drug dealers so the other gets revenge by murdering them one by one, hiding in a Gas mask. Things get tenser and more violent throughout the trailer.
What is it meant to do? It's meant to shock people with the extremely sudden change in tone, and it's also meant to create a sense of tension and suspense to the audience to get them to watch the movie. It does that by raising questions like "What did the gang do to his brother?" and "What made him so Psychotic?" etc.
What would I pastiche: I enjoy the use of flashbacks in the trailer and I'm also a fan of the use of a choir for the soundtrack.

Four Lions - Warp Films (2010) - Christopher MORRIS.
Narrative: A group of Terrorists in Britain attempt to cause Mayhem but aren't sucessful so they go to Pakistan to train... still not successful. One isn't happy due to his relationship with what appears to be a non-terrorist girlfriend.
What is it meant to do? It's meant to make the audience laugh at some of the jokes (but not spoil them all due to the fact that it would ruin the movie if all the jokes are there), meant to tell the audience the plot of the movie and engange them due to the fact that one of them is trying to be civil. Is he trying to be good or is him and his girlfriend okay with the terrorist actions of his friends.
What would I like to Pastiche? I do enjoy the comedic aspects of this so I may use some comedy in my own trailer, also I like how instead of it being a joke-fest a story is here that does seem compelling. I may use those aspects in my own film trailer.
