Break down of Marty Friedman's music video Hyper Doom
So just To give a little info on Marty Friedman, He was the guitarist for a band called Megadeth from 1989 to 2000, He was also in a band called cacophony. Although hyper doom is a short video, there is lot of cool shots in this. First I would like to start by pointing out how the shots go with the rhythm of the song frequently. This happens especially in the begining. Around 0:27 the song starts building climatically, and tenses up, the shots also add to the intensity as each chord changes so does the shot.Around 0:50 the pace of the song slows and there id a shot of the band bumping fists then there's is a couple of shot transitioning them form back stage to on the stage, there is also a pick slide that goes along with the pace of the shots, it was also a transition point for one part of the song to the next. Then you see a lot of quick shots of each member at the pace of the song along with the audience and showing fans having an awesome time. You can also notice there is some white crooked lines in the shots almost making it look like old film, it was an interesting touch. There was also different colors of rays of light that panned with each shot. I also notice throughput the video there numerous settings were the video was shot. Through out the video It transitions to different settings. One was the stairwell, another one was the back stage, the stage, outside in front of buildings and outside on the streets. Another thought that comes in to play is what kind of music video would people think of that has no words to it, this song was an instrumental. This is also why it varies from so many other music videos, and its only two minutes long. The video was filmed on his European tour, so it was a bunch of various mixed up shots from different venues and places. I think it was well composed for its purpose but, im also surprise that he would release a two minute music video. Some of his other videos ranged from 4 to 7 minutes long, so this one seemed kin dove random for the length of it at least, but it was intended. Overall I think its great video,, I also wonder how many shots they had to compress in to a two minute time period, come to think of it it almost sounds a little difficult. There is a great amount of shots in the video too . When you watch this video it could seem jumpy at first even know there are a lot of shots but once again it goes with the rhythm really really well. As the song speeds up so do the shots, as the video sloes down so o the shots. Tell me what you guys think was it even worth shooting a two minute video, How many shots do you think were selected but not used, or overall how many shots were cut, theses are thoughts that tend to go through someones head, who watches Mary Friedman's Hyper Doom Video.
