Goal For Today

My goal for today is to look at inspirational videos that will help me plan my video. Also I will start to plan the full scale of my music video. 

Location

Costume/clothing

The clothing and costumes that I will use in my video are very casual. I don’t want the models to look like they have been staged, the genre of music I am doing is quite –sad- it isn’t an upbeat song so therefore I feel that the clothing on the people in the videos needs to be quite low key. For example the makeup on the girl can’t be made bold and perfect I want her to look upset so I think that making the makeup quite minimalistic will work better. I want the clothing to be chosen by the actors-models I don’t want to stage their choice of clothes I want them to decide so it looks as realistic as possible. I feel this is all I can really say as far as the makeup and costumes are concerned as a I don’t really want to stage what they work, I feel this is better this way.   

Inspirational Texts

If I were a boy-Beyoncé

I really liked this video of Beyoncé’s, I felt It inspired me a lot as it dint just show the video of the breakup from either the girls or the boys point of view it showed it from both sides. I like how it showed them both swapping roles for a day, which I found really interesting, and a countless way of portraying a breakup. Some music videos I have came across have shown how the breakup would liked to have gone, all rosy and flowers etc. which is clearly not the case, this is another reason why I really like this video.

Skinny Love-Birdy

I like how simple but moving this video is. The setting and location is in a scruffy old room opposed to the usual music set, which is expensive and visibly practiced. This is more real, one girl on the piano singing about her feeling = it doesn’t look set up which I want my video to look like, it looks ‘normal’ and doesn’t look staged.

Higher Love-James Vincent McMorrow

I love this one too how its just one man outside on his own, it doesn’t lo staged or a fake set up. I want my video to be like this in the sense that it looks its real like he is singing about his life and his own feelings, his real feelings, his experience.
