For Music Video

We researched into many different music videos and that allowed us to come up with our final ideas for our video. We used various genres and bands and analysed ideas. Throughout the next few slides, there will be videos or screen shots of certain music videos we analysed and how they influenced us. There will then be a short explanation of how we are planning on recreating the scene but with our on twist.

Bon Ivor- Calgary

This video inspired me as it corresponded to our ideas. It had a female in a white floating dress walking through a dark gloomy forest. We wanted a female in a forest in our video so I analysed this video and took screen shots of images I liked.

The atmosphere of this music video inspired us for ideas of our music video. The gloominess of the video is something we want to achieve and give the effect that someone is alone in a forest being watched. This video links to Bon Ivor’s on the previous slide.

Ellie Goulding- Guns and Horses

Bombay Bicycle Club-Shuffle

We took inspiration from this music video because of the emphasis on performance which appears in this video. However the video doesn’t have performance all the way through, it has a story line to it as well. In our music video we will have performance a story line and then visuals of the actors. We believe that performance will be very important.

Puddle of mud- Blurry

This music video I analysed has a blurry effect added to it. This makes the footage look distorted and like old home footage. We want this effect in our music video that it’s an old tape found. This video also has an element of performance throughout it. Therefore this music video was a good one to analyse.

In this video the actor is emotionless, he walks along looking sad and shows no facial expressions and keeps a down face. We want our female character to be like this in our video. Look scary and confused.

Coldplay- Yellow

After analysing many music videos, these are the videos I pulled out and wrote about. These videos stood out to me and collaborated with my ideas. I feel that using little bits from many of these videos will allow us to make a good music video that has good footage in and a good story behind it or along side with it. This also allowed me to look at different filming techniques such as angles of the camera, positioning and effects that it can have on the footage taken.
