Talk:List of one-shot music videos

message: I think this subject is relevant. In the business of video and film production it's a common expression with no ambiguity.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fubbi (talk • contribs) 18:19, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Given the prose tag, I suggest that this article be condensed so that there are a few notable examples included in a paragraph, with a full list on the new page List of One shot Music Videos. Kat Malone (talk) 20:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm removing "Happiness" by Goldfrapp. Although the video gives the appearance of being shot in a continuous take, it is clearly not - the members of the band (especially the singer) appear as different characters throughout, and you can see the day getting darker. Closer inspection reveals the points where the camera pans past an automobile, a telephone booth, etc., providing a convenient point to mask the blending of each take.

thread_title:  Goldfrapp's "Happiness" 

message: if goldfrapp's happiness has been removed for not being a single take and rather having markers where it could be edited together then this video should be removed also as it also appeared to be 1 continual shhot but in fact the parts where kylie runs under the ladder and goes past/swings round the lamp post were used as pointers for editing also and it was not done in 1 take, even though it looked like it, if you watch it carefully you can see it was edited  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.44.216.100 (talk) 01:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No way is this a clear example of a one shot as there is post processing to add the multiple Kylies... ++Lar: t/c 03:23, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Remove the list 

message: O.K. I've been making improvements to a copy of the article in my Userspace and trying to convert the article to prose and pare out and identify false assertions of On-Shot. 
What I'm questioning is how do we deal with videos that are heavily modified in post production?
Some of these are already included in the list Kylie's - Come into my world for instance. Obviously we work using reliable sources and though some sources would declare these kind of videos "One Shot" when it is doubtful they are.
In OKGO's video for "End Love" (not currently included in the article)  the claim of one shot was originally made by one of the directors Jeff Lieberman  "Oh and don’t forget, it’s one continuous camera shot.” When he was called on it, he confirmed "It's one take, not one shot." and that enough frames were removed from the 18 hour take to allow OKGO to have toilet breaks and in fact eat food - also three cameras rather than a single camera were used seamlessly.
Whilst Come into my world is created using one long take it's clear that the action is not "continuous in time and space" because much of the action is repeated from earlier in take and composited digitally. On this basis I would have to consider any source identifying the video as One Shot to be unreliable in it's identification and either strike from the article or use a source like  to explain how the effect was achieved and move the video to the "Videos Mistaken for One Shot" video.
A similar video (whose entry I recently removed from the list) would be  Kanye West's Power which whilst citable as one shot  (not the most reliable source but the first I found) is clearly not continuous in space because it digitally composites other elements  (which may have been shot in the same take but it seems unlikely) copying them, mirroring them and moving them as required. Kanye's Element does appear to be continuous but nothing around him is.
Any feedback on how best to deal with situations like this is welcomed.

thread_title:  One Shot or Long Take. 

message: Have moved my current draft rewrite to Talk:One shot (music video)/Draft The Plan is to completely delete the Music video examples section once some (but probably not all - just key examples) are integrated into the prose of the History of One Shot Music Videos section. Already some entries have been removed after integration however some entries have been added to the article since I started work on this draft which may need to be taken account of. The Proponents section should be converted to prose as well. Once the draft is a bit more rounded the current article should be moved to List of one shot music videos and the Draft moved into the main space. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 15:35, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The examples list is too long.  We need to reduce it to a few significant examples.  How do we determine which are significant?  (Or should we go with the suggestion above and split off the examples as a separate list article? i.e. List of one shot music videos ) RJFJR (talk) 14:51, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

message: The idea that "Wannabe" (by the Spice Girls) is one-shot is nothing but an urban legend. It has been refuted by more than one production member, including Geri Halliwell in her autobiography "If Only" (p. 309). Grand Dizzy (talk) 22:52, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
