Multiple People in Shot

Jack is a solo artist within this project however I would like to get different shots of him playing various instruments or just him singing, one way of doing this might be the inclusion of clones. By using Premiere Pro, I can edit multiple 'clones' of Jack in; if I have a shot in the final video that shows multiple Jacks playing all of the instruments then it would drive home his musical talent, which I wish to present to the viewer.

Notably, this Jack-centric idea would adhere to the abstract and surreal aspects of psychedelia and even to my preliminary video in which I made multiple versions of myself in a similar manner. One point to raise is how I would be able to introduce some ideas from Ty Segall's music video for the Singer, something I claimed I could not do for Jack in a previous post  but would now be able to do. I think that the static nature of the shot would not be the problem if I cut it with some footage showing different angles of the performance. This links into the conventional live performances of the music videos I analysed but also helps to ensure a range of shots are included.



Notably, I could introduce some further psychedelic visuals by providing each 'clone' with an animal mask to wear. I just so happen to have a pig mask - which featured in my preliminary video - and a dalmatian mask. This runs the question as to what the significance is to using these masks, truthfully there is no real necessity to have them in the video however I feel that it links back to my preliminary video well and also adheres to the surreal conventions of psychedelia (as previously stated). Furthermore, I suppose it could act as a homage to the Beatles and their music video for I Am The Walrus, which unfortunately does not have a video available on YouTube. In this video, the band dress up as animals and so Jack might appreciate this subtle reference due to how he has cited them as an influence on his work; the similarities might also act as an 'easter egg' for the viewer and perhaps such a reference will make the video all the more entertaining for those able to note the connection.
