Skateboarding Production Style (Week 3)

After my presentation for project one, I noticed myself interested in the production style of skateboarding videos. After watching a wide variety of skate videos online, it is clearly evident that particular stylistic techniques are commonly repeated in this practice of online video and form part of a skateboarding production style online. To exemplify this point with relevant context, below is a skateboarding video created by the same artist as the piece that I analysed for project one and several stylistic elements are noticeable in contrasting both videos with each other, as well as comparing them to skateboarding videos online.

The most noticeable techniques are:

The use of a film burn or graphic transition.

The use of slow motion.

The use of a fisheye camera lens.

Timing the action in the visual content with prominent beats in the music.

 

These create part of the non-narrative form of online skateboarding videos, clearly requiring in-depth analysis which presents itself as an option for the second project.
