Inspiration

I chose to look at this video because it has the same beat throughout the hole video and I think the tone of the music is similar to the song that we are doing. I really like the setting of the beach as I think that it works really well so it has made me think about using a beach as a location. I also chose this because this song is about a car which is like my song, I think that the idea of the use of driving works well because it means that it relates to the song. I really like the use of the use of close ups and also the long shots as they work really well. I like how there is a variety of shots because I think that it works really well. I think that having a car in the video works really well because it applies movement to it. I really like the setting and the locations that they have used, I really like the use of filming on the street as it looks realistic and if its real life and not a stereotypical video which is done on a bluescreen. I really like the location of the beach setting because I think its so simple and so effective because it can be done really easily and I think that we could do this but have our star sitting or walking across the beach to make it more to our genre rather than this song which is the rap/ pop genre. I think that this is really going to inspire me on the use of a car in the video. I think that the use of having the camera on the car while the main star is driving works really well and I also think that it would be a good idea to do this however it may be hard so maybe having an in door camera would work better viewing the roadsides.

I have chosen to look at this video because I like the use of the colourscheme as I think it works really well for the genre and the music. I also think that the mise en scene works really well with the slow music as it is very dark and dull. I think the mist in the background works really well. I think that the zooming in of the jar works really well because it relates well to the lyrics. I really like the part where she is walking past the car and where you can only see her feet as I think this works really well and I think that we could use a shot like this in our video. I think when she walks out from behind the car carrying on the last shot works really well as she is in the background and the front of the car is in the foreground which makes it really bold. I looked at this video because it had a lot of relation to a car and it has helped me get inspiration for our video as we liked the idea of using a car in relation to the lyrics. I like that the location is in the road as the mise en scene works well with the music and her lyrics as they are upset lyrics so it relates to the colour scheme. I really like the rustic colours and how the white of her outfit stands out from the car because all of the other colours are very dark and dull. I think that the zooming in of the shoes is going to be done in our video because I really liked this aspect and the focusing of her walking which I think works really well.

This video inspires me because of the bright bold colours used in it. It also works well because everything in the video is food related which makes it all link in. It also works well because it's like a board game and this hasn't been done in a music video before. I think that the use of having food as objects works really well e.g. candyfloss as clouds. I really like how the colours really stand out and it makes it obvious that the genre is Pop because of the colours and patterns used. I think that it works well as it uses an idea that no one has done before and I also think that it stands out from other videos. I would love to do something like this but it would be very hard to do because we don't have the editing facilities that they use when making real music videos.



This video is a massive 34 minutes long. It inspires me because it features all of his songs from the album 'My beautiful dark twisted fantasy' and in this video there are a use of lots of different ideas which makes it stand out from other videos. I really like how the main girl links through the whole video. This video would have taking ages to make because of the fact that so many shots have been needed for it and because it is so long. I really like the colour scheme used throughout because it isn't too bright it is very simplistic and this is what I want our video to be like so that the effects stand out and certain aspects stand out rather than just the colour being bright and overtaking the motion.



I really like the use of the glasses of water that move when Adelle sings because it means that you can tell how powerful her voice is. They also move to the beat of the drums which make it interesting. I also really like the colour palette used because it is really pale and also dull but it makes all the action stand out e.g. all of the plates breaking. I think that the breaking of plates and the glasses on the floor work really well and I really like the location that has been used as it is something that I think we would be able to use. I think that the mise en scene works really well because it is messy but the faded colours make it look good and realistic. I think a setting like this would work really well for our video.



This video really works well because it acts like a film rather than a video which I think works well. It inspires me because of the use of videoing in the car which I think works well and also the use of dancing works really well. I think that the bold use of makeup works really well in this video but I think the makeup makes it obvious of the pop genre whereas i'm doing a folk genre I think that it would need less makeup. This video has inspired me by showing that makeup and style has a big effect on the genre of video and how the artist is perceived to the audience.



This video is really abstract in the way that it uses Will.i.am's face at every stage of his life which makes it different to other videos and it makes it stand out. It's different because its his face at everypoint e.g. as a child it has his face on the child which makes it quite humerous. I really like how it shows his life happening and how it looks abstract because it his head on different stages of his life so it doesn't look like the age but you can tell. I don't think that it shows the genre well through this video which may mean it doesn't work well but other than that the video is really good and uses a lot of effects which works well.



This video inspires me because of the fact that the body's don't match the face which makes it really weird and also the face look like there made out of cardboard. It also makes you focus more on the body language. It makes it weird to look at because the heads aren't in proportion, but it works well because you remember the video. I think that this video is very good because it works through the whole school day and I think it related really well to teenagers as it is the sort of things that they do in the day. I really like the effect of the big heads on the little bodies because I think that it makes the video stand out from many others in the media.
