The music videos which had influenced me on the decisions
we made for our music video were ‘Read All About It’ (Professor Green ft Emeli
Sande), ‘Time’ (Chase & Status - Time ft. Delilah)
and – ‘Good Intentions’ (Dappy)
Read All About It
When watching this music video, the first thing which had
captured me was the mise-en-scene. The use of a large empty room and effective
lighting was one aspect which I thought would suit our music video. The
lighting is reflective of the songs negative, with signs of positive, aspects;
whilst the open space is reflective of the life which can’t be expressed and is
therefore a sign of emptiness in their life. From this idea, we will be using a
garage for the chorus as we would be able to get good lighting in the garage.
Time
The narrative structure of the video will be used in our
music video, as it is in Time. As our song is about forgiveness, I thought it
would be a good idea if a reflection of a negative past was shown. This will
appeal to a wide audience as they will feel as they are on a journey with the
artist – watching the negative past and where the artist is now.
Good Intentions
The music video does not have much going on, in
comparison to many other hip-hop music videos. I found that this had actually
helped me pay more attention to the lyrics and understand & interpret the
song in my own ways. The use of mid shots and close-ups had also helped understand
the song as we could see the artist’s facial expression.
The editing in this music video was good – especially the
fades. This is an aspect we will try to incorporate into our video as it represents
reflection by the artist on their life.
