Music Video Inspiration

Ellie Goulding - Burn

- The main thing I took from this was the locations being quite low budget for example fields and how the sun is used in order to create a specific feel to the music video and creates a filter but also, how it changes from day to night which I thought was a good idea but something that could go wrong when filming 

Rita Ora - I Will Never Let You Down

- I liked the idea that it changed from black and white and then to colour throughout the entire music video and also how when it burst into colour she was wearing very bright and vibrant colours, making the change from black and white stand out more than if she were going to be wearing dull boring clothes. I think this is something that I’m possibly going to be using for my final music video as it creates a more fun feel to the music video and is fairly easy to create and can help bring out parts of the song 

Arctic Monkeys - Arabella

- At the start of the music video there is an almost rolling film type effect which drops down or rolls over giving it an indie feel and I thought that this was quite a good idea but hard to recreate but I liked how the performance side of the music video wasn’t too heavy but frequent as it shows things just like the guitar and it all flows together as its all black and white

Saint Raymond - Everything She Wants

- I think this video follows the conventions of an indie music video as he is on his own throughout, there are various filters over the top of the shots to create an almost worn out look on the video and in some cases as if light has been leaked on to the ‘film’. The location for the video is very low budget as it is just at the beach and there is no permission needed and also, the camera is handheld throughout and quite shaky creating a more indie feel the music video and further creates a sense of the music video being low budget 

Lewis Watson - Calling
-I just liked the general concept of this video and how it was presented, the idea and feel of this music video reminded me a of shows that are aired on E4 which is a companion to channel 4, these shows are ‘Skins’ and ‘My Mad Fat Diary’, it reminds me of this simply because of the concept and the people within the music video.
