  1. I really like this! Thanks
  2. Nah, it would easily work on the radio. They play Ignorance on the most popular breakfast show in the UK, practically every day.
  3. Probably due to the huge amount of advertising they are doing for it. I watched TV for about two hours last night and saw the promo THREE TIMES.
  4. Im not "flipping shit" on you. Sorry if you feel that way.
  5. Well, no, not everyone, In reality you should be on the other end of the spectrum, you said yourself that you know its wrong.
  6. It doesnt make anyone less of a fan. You dont have any entitlement to them just because "you were there first"
  7. I wasn't really referring to you I know what you mean
  8. Regardless of how you feel about this personally, you've got to remember that Paramore are getting major success here, it must be so exciting for them!
  9. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that... Let go is my third favorite album!
  10. 14664 Im guessing the UK got from 13,000-15,000 or something like that.
  11. I was simply trying to explain my thoughts as clearly as possible, if that came across as patronizing, I apologize. I didn't know you were studying Media, that's why I used that argument. It turns out, you are way more qualified to use such an argument than I am. It was the only way I could put it into words that I could find to explain why I feel the way I do about the videos. But, every Director has their own style (of course). Regardless, I stand by what I said, and I think the amount of time Ive spent with the videos, and my geeky fascination with cinematography contribute to my love of Shane Drake and his work. That personal interest contributes to the small amount of a "professional" (lol) opinion I can have regarding the issue. Like I said, all "professionals" (there it is again) have different opinions on their fellow "Professionals" (and again) work.
  12. I find it quite ironic how you just slammed me for being patronising. I would write a more detailed reply, but now it is aparrent that it's not worth it.
  13. Well....Sorry I had to leave for a minute Sorry, you misunderstood my point by posting that. For the most Part I agree with you. I hate that argument. What I meant was, if you had a little taste of making a moving image project, you would realise how hard it is to even achieve the "generic shots" you condemn in the videos. Its actually hard to explain, but its like Analysing poetry. If you have no background in literature, you can be given a poem and be told to extrapolate the Authors emotions and meanings from the piece, and think "What the hell? Theres nothing to analyse here" But if you've spent years of your life studying Poems, you'll be ablle to pick apart every nuance of meaning from each word the poet uses. TO the inexperienced it will look like you are pulling things right out of your arse, but to the expert it will all make sense. Although I am not an expert in Cinematography. But I have had some experience One of the reasons that I may have a more positive outlook on the videos might be because Ive seen them hundreds of times, probably verging on thousands. I spend a lot of time making YouTUbe videos and projects ETC, stuff Like unofficial music videos where you have to match Hayleys voice to her lips in the clips. Not easy, and you have to watch every video repeatedly, paying utmost attention to every shot. Ive seen Misery Business so many times, (and this is no joke) I can actually play it through in my head, shot for shot, angle for angle, in the right order. Spending so much time with that video has really sharpened my Cinematic eye. And I feel I appreciate it more for what it is because of it.
  14. I guess If you dont like them, you dont like them. I dont know what I can do other than tell you to watch the music videos (which you've already done, many times)
  15. Haha. Well If you think it was messy go out and do it better. Compare the music video to many others out there where the camera work is uninspired and bland, Where the lighting is same old same old....
