Week 7: Scopitone Videos

http://scopitones.com/

Scopitone videos:

Bright colors on the set and costumes

Colors look washed out on video

People dancing, woman show a lot of skin...

“flashes” and “scratches” on frames

Long takes, not many close ups


Modern Videos:

Animation: Boom Boom Pow

Clubs

Clear pictures and colors

Short takes, different angles and locations

Lots of close ups


I was surprised how similar the Scopitone Videos are to todays videos. Obviously they have many differences, but a few things stuck around: singers in different locations, women using their sexuality/showing skin, dancing, branding (representing their "look" or "type")
