Inspiration/ influences for our music video

During the research stage, we decided to look at music videos of the similar genre to our music track to get some inspiration/ ideas from this.

We looked at Beyonce-Broken Hearted Girl:
















When we were annotating our music track lyrics, we were struggling on how to present the car, especially the lyrics "Nights like this I be crusing". However, when we saw this music video, we knew that the birds eye view of the car would be perfect as it correlates with the lyrics perfectly. Also, the birds eye view gives a modern, urban look to the music video and this is what we want our music video to look like. It allows the audience to realise that there is a perspective behind this as we are trying to portray that the female actor is fine with being alone, and is independent and confident and simply can have fun alone. Furthermore, it subconsciously represents that the male actor will end up regretting not being a relationship with her and once she goes, shes gone forever and he will be missing out. Just like Beyonce is shown in a close-up, we will be including this in our music video as we believe that this will set the scene as it will give the audience a perspective of her emotion right from the start, and because she is alone, shows her true emotion.

We also looked at Tove Lo-Not on drugs:



When watching this video, we were attracted to the use of colour smoke bombs in this video so we all decided that we wanted to use colour smoke bombs in our video. We thought that it would represent the actor as a fun, independent character and that she does not need anyone to have fun. We will be editing the colour smoke bomb shots so that it is slow motion, to give our music video an everlasting dramatic effect. Also, as we will be using the colour smoke bomb scenes towards the end, it will be a contrast to the start as the first scene will be in black and white whereas, this last scene will be in colour representing that the male actor is missing out on a relationship with her and indeed "no chick can out do her".
