3. Examples of Trudys work 4. Trudys Visual Style

Trudys strengths lie within the beautifully developed restricted colour palettes, the stylised fashion details, flattering beauty lighting and her choreography, that we see in all of her music videos.

Her work is also very stylised, cool and contempory, beauty with an edge.

When looking at the videos she has produced you can see a number of these elements throughout.

She has work with bands such as;

6. Artists & bands Trudys worked with 7. Genre of Trudys work

Trudy tends to work with artists in the charts so we could say that she specialises in the pop genre of music videos.

She also produces mainstream videos for well known bands that I have already mentioned.

The videos that she has made appear on shows such as MTV, also in 2007 her video for the Girls Aloud song Sexy No No No won the virgin media award for best video.

8. Trudys editing style

Trudy doesnt tend to use much live performance within her music video but in stead she uses choreographed videos with good lighting and a set location in which she has chosen.

In some of her videos she uses either the lyrics or another element for example a consistent clap in the music and trys to turn this visual within the video.

9. Trudys editing style

This is a screen grab from the video Mamma Do by Pixie Lott. You can see that it is a location shot music video and many of Trudys videos are made in the same way.

10. Trudys editing style

Her editing is also used to fit with the music for instance in the Pixie Lott video the editing is very quick with a lot of cuts and quick snappy changes of viewpoint. Where as in the Girls Aloud video it is slow paced and there are not as many changes of viewpoint but when there is they are slow to fit with the music.

11. Why I like her work

I like Trudys work as it is very controversial and is something that we are always seeing on the TV. In her videos she always makes the visuals link in with the lyrics in order for the audience to relate to it more. Her work also makes the songs more memorable and they are videos that you will talk about with your friends.

12. Inspiration

Trudys work has inspired my choices for how I want to style and make my music video as I feel that her work is used in quite a lot of the music videos I like and also because I like the way in which she films, edits and styles her videos as they always have a relevance to the song. I also want to use the same style as she does as her work is always cool and contempory but with an edge at the same time.
