I Love College!
I have always been aware of Asher Roth's - I Love College, but until recent I have come across the music video to the song and this entire video is my ideal way of pulling off the house party as it has incorporated all of the conventions of a college party from girls, red cups, pizza and darkness. Unfortunately our chances of pulling off an equally effective party is very slim as their house is much larger and my parents will not condone throwing mattresses off of balconies and other mischievous behavior however I can lightly analyse the video for things we can include.
The awakening of Asher Roth at the beginning of the music video is very much similar to how I wished for myself to wake up, with people sleeping next to me and the place looking a mess with wrappers and packets on the floor. The transition to the past is good but not what I would use in Flashback as I don't think it merges very well, I'd rather not even tell the audience of the Flashback but to allow them to note it themselves.
The props used including pizza and the cups is already what I had thought to use, as I imagined college party; cheap food, booze and girls. I couldn't recall a music video or media text saying that pizza is a convention so I was at a brick wall, however in this music video it reinforces my statement and now I can make reference as to why the pizza boxes will be scattered around. During the week, the Pizza Hut in Ilford does a deal where at lunch time any 8" pizza is only £2. So I purchased 4, shared the pizza and kept the boxes for the music video on Saturday. A blog shall be present soon to accompany this statement...
