Experimenting with bloopers

Today I thought I'd use some 'left' over footage from the Pitch Video to experiment and practice with effects solely in Premiere Pro.  I found a way of creating a flash bulb transition by key framing a small section at a high brightness (appearing to be almost white), and changing it back to normal. It's an effect I've been meaning to try out as it is quite common in music video and is an effect I will consider for post-production of my video. I have practiced changing the rate of the video playback in my previous videos but yet again it is typical of music videos, especially slowing down shots to get a more dramatic effect (like in the Editors' No Harm video). I also had a go at cloning myself at the end, which was tricky than I thought. It would have been easier if I had planned out the proxemics. Although after a bit of tweaking I think I managed to convey the illusion of there being two of me in the room.

Other details like the band members and recording location also need to be included.

Best music videos of all time?

I've come across a few online articles when searching for the best music videos of all time, using ratings from NME, timeout and Billboard I've complied a short list of the music video that are considered to be the best of all time. Interestingly the music videos I've looked at are all completely different in concept and type.  Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Influence for the look of the video came from the 1979 film, Over The Edge. The band distributed out flyers two days before the shoot, asking fans to appear in the video. A radio station in LA (KXLU) also made a casting call for extras. At the end of the filming, Kurt Cobain suggested letting the extras wreck the set. Bayer, the director, agreed and the destruction at the end of the music video occurred. Kurt didn't like the director's cut, so he personally watched over the re-edit, which is the final version. Amy Finnerty, who had only just joined the music programming department at MTV, campaigne...
