My game is a music and clip of the group Deluxe.

Deluxe is a french group created in 2007. My game is a song of Deluxe Family Show album.

The group created this clip by itself in 2014.

In this clip, we can see the six group members, a drummer, a guitarist, a bassist, a pianist, a singer and a tambourine member. They are stand in a green carpet. This clip is a montage of photos where the green carpet is moving in different places.

This video is composed of two different entities : the group of artists in the green carpet and other people around.

These entities seem very distant because they are in a different time space. The group brings a kind of energy wherever they are and each artist in the group has a official position in the carpet. However, sometimes, they can change position with each other.

Others outside the group never touch the carpet except at the end of the video. At this moment, these two entities make one.

During the clip, the artists make some movements, they can turn on themselves, crouch or just move their legs as the carpet moving, turning or staying motionless.

In the background, the images scroll and pass from one to the other in a very jerky manner.

So I chose my agents according to these parameters.

Agents : Presence of artists, Background, Movement of artists, Movement of carpet and Movement of camera Keywords : Ride, Dance, Energic, 2 different world, City, Carpet

The first diagram “number of characters” shows the variation of the number of people on the carpet. In the beginning, artists are coming one by one in the video field. Then, the number of people is almost constant throughout the video so composed of the 6 artists. At the end of the video, ordinary people join the artists in the carpet to dance with them. The number of characters increases considerably without being able to count them, then they leave step by step to see only the 6 artists.

The second diagram shows the different movements of artists. We can differ 4 different movement : swaying legs, turning 360° and 180° or crouch. Most of the time musicians and singer make the same movement but sometimes, the singer takes more importance by bringing more dynamics.

At last, the third diagram shows the sequence of backgrounds. This sequence is really fast, the backgrounds succeed each other very quickly but some of them stand out thanks to their longer duration. The fews photos show the different kind of backgrounds.

Carpet’s movement :

Don’t move

Musicians Moving forward

In this diagram we can see that the singer complicates the basic movements performed by the musicians. However, all you their movement are related with the movement of the carpet. When the carpet is moving forward, movements are jerky and new ones are created.

Camera turning

Camera is turning around artists in the same time as the appearance of certain backgrounds : The cultural area, the sea side, the rugby stadium and in front of the church.

Then, when we compare this diagram to the one next, we can see that the movement of the carpet is completely independant of backgrounds.

For the model of the qualitative analysis, I rallied backgrounds according to their materiality : vegetal, mineral and interior backgrounds. Thanks to this model, we can easily see the abundance of mineral backgrounds.

Then, I created mobile buttons held by a string, they can turn on themselves unlike the others. This mechanism allows us to see the button on its entire surface as well as the camera turning which allows us to explore better the background.

Carpet movement

Final model Wooden sticks represents the carpet as the basic element of the video. It climbs vertically and diagonally to show its movement when it moving forward and turning. Sticks seem independant of the backgrounds because there is no link between them. The size of the backgrounds differs according to their presence in the video. Nails take place both on the background and on the carpet because they are the only element which comes to link the whole.
