The Gorilla Costume

This is the outfit we have purchased for the character of the Gorilla.

We decided on this outfit because it was affordable and suitable for our needs. It is also a likeable attempt at creating a Gorilla suit.

Final Idea

We have decided upon an idea!

The video starts with a shot of an empty kitchen, seeming ordinary enough a Gorrilla then strolls in! He takes a glass and fills it with water. Music begins to play out of the glass, and the camera zooms in to show the band perform. As the band play the scene explodes into colour.

The video then becomes a parrallel story between the bands performance and the Gorilla in the kitchen. At one point in the video, the Glass begins to shake and falls of a table to the floor...! The band appear, as if by magic, in the kitchen and for the first time we see the kitchen in colour, as the guitarist begins a solo. The Gorilla becomes scared and angry, stealing the guitar and playing his own solo before being chased around by the guitarist and band.

We end with the band and Gorilla united as friends and enjoy a nice healthy, band free, glass of water.

This is the style of attire we plan to wear in our video. The outfit creates a conrast between the band and the Gorilla.

It is also realistic of a 60's style of dress.

Video analysis

The camera work in this video has a variety of long shots, mid shots and some close ups. The also have a variety of different camera angles. The editing is just straight cuts from one shot to the next, which makes everything nice and quick which fits well with the pace of the music. None of the shots are held for too long so every few seconds they are showing different shots which makes it interesting to watch. The setting is quite unique as they are playing their instruments on punts on the river, they also play on the river banks and their is one shot at the beginning where the guitarist/singer is playing on a ledge stranded and surrounded by water. The performance is really good, they look like a real band and the video and the acting seemed professional.

Initial Ideas

The song, One Glass of Water, is reminiscent of a 60's Beatles style of music.
Because of this we thought it would make sense to make a recreation of a spoof 60's Top Of The Pops themed music video.

The Song is entitled, 'One Glass Of Water' because of this we realised that it would make sense to play under water, as if we were in a glass! It was then suggested that we could play as if we were in test tubes.

The Lyrics compare the singer to a gorilla. This brought about the idea of wearing a gorilla outfit in the video.
