List of one-shot music videos
This is a list of one shot music videos filmed in one long take by a single camera, or manufactured to give the impression it was. One of the most famous music video directors for this genre is Michel Gondry, who has done many of his videos in this style.
Examples
Videos seemingly shot in one take
- John Fogerty - "The Old Man Down The Road", 1985
- Contains several edits disguised by dissolves, particularly when the camera is pointing down at the ground and the dissolves are less noticeable due to motion blur.
- The video was spliced together from two separate takes. The cut between the two happens when the camera turns away from the face of guitarist, and singer on this track, The Edge and the cut was hidden by having smoke blowing in from the side of the frame.
- Jamiroquai - "Virtual Insanity", 1996
- The video contains several cuts when the camera tilts down, transitioning into another shot when it tilts up again.
- The Verve - "Bitter Sweet Symphony", 1997
- Although often cited as an example of a one shot video, it actually contains several cuts to reverse angles and close ups and is not one long take. There are in fact about 50 cuts in the video.
- U2 - "Sweetest Thing", 1998
- In a Channel 4, documentary discussing the Greatest Pop Videos of all time, the director Kevin Godley revealed that it was filmed in 3 shots, each shot transition hidden by a lens flare.[16]
