Inspiration - Existing Music videos

Inspiration - Existing Music videos

When it came to coming up with ideas for my music videos, I began my research by looking at existing music videos and then from these music videos I took some of the ideas I liked and transferred these ideas to my music videos. Here are some example of ideas I liked to include within my video.

 I have taken inspiration from The Little Comets 'Isles', I particularly like this shot on the left, for example I like the placement and framing of the shot and feel this would suite well within the narrative of my video in terms of Mise en scene and cinematography of this shot. However I do not want the shot to be a still shot I want there to be certain movement, for example also from their video they have a shot where certain actions are sped up put there is focus on the setting that makes the shot remain in real time and has the effect that time passes quickly. To the left, the bottom screen shot shows how this effect is put into action within a music video. As the setting remains constant the action within the setting is sped up for example the moving cars and change of the sky throughout the day. I would use time-lapse to create this desired effect. 



Another music video that I have taken further inspiration from is Jessie Ware's 'Tough Love' here are some screen shots of the specific effects that I like and may potentially use in my music video; 

This screen shot is an overlap of two images that are contrasted to both be visible without one image over-powering the other, I like this effect used in the video because it is a gradual transition of a dissolve which helps the video flow and have continuity. 

In this part of the video the shot is shown as a 180 degree turn, whist there is a zoom. This adds movement to the video which I think makes the video more interesting rather than just a still shot. 

Similarly to the first screen shot this is another overlap shot, which follows the same theme of the rose, but in this shot the petals are falling, this adds to the narrative of the video also adding continuity to the video. 

These are just a few of the screen shots taken from the video of the certain effects I like that, here is the full video to understand the concept behind the video and learn how the video uses specific effects which makes the video interesting and make the audience want to carry on watching.
