Electronic Music Short Film

My short sound film gives an insight into the current electronic music scene in Glasgow and the nature of its surrounding club culture. I did this by documenting a small, student founded club night called ‘RARE’ held below Glasgow’s renowned Max’s Bar. I aimed to show how the scene has changed and progressed since the iconic 90’s raves, by showcasing how it does still hold onto its roots. I wanted to pay homage to 90’s rave videos by capturing the footage as authentically as I could by using era appropriate filming techniques, i.e., on a tape camcorder, during a live, unscripted event. Both 'Scratch' and 'Hip-Hop' editing styles were referenced throughout the film. It was said that Scratch videos ‘felt good’ and that is exactly what I am trying to capture in my film, the raw essence and feeling that comes alongside electronic music.
