My Inspiration

Before we made ideas for our own music video, we looked at different music videos with the same genre to look at the conventions & for inspiration.
This music video (Ellie Goulding-Your Song) was my inspiration for the costume & settings which we then showed on our costume mood board.


I like this music video & found it a big inspiration because i like how natural it looks, with the natural light as it is shot outside & the basic costume. It looks natural & realistic & not acted out which i think is effective with the song.
I want to take some of these ideas & use them in our music video, for example, as we are shooting in the winter our main actor can wear coats & hats & scarves to make it look natural & we will be filming outside alot in the natural light. I think this will suit our music video & will work well.

We also looked at alot of stop motion videos. These were very inspirational as i liked the effect of being able to make the impossible possible through the stop motion. These music videos were inspiration for me-



These videos inspired us to use stop motion in our music video. For example, we are going to use stop motion to make a flower grow around our main actor using post it notes. We are also going to use stop motion when she eats the chocolate love heart. This will look effective within our video as i tihnk it will suit the music & the timings of our video.

Another inspirational video for us was the end credits of the film 'Juno'.


We liked this video because we liked how everything around her was a sketch but it was still life like. We wanted to use this technique within our music video as we thought it would look nice & would make a normal shot look more interesting. We would like to use it by making sketched flowers in a shot to make the shot more interesting & different.
