The
first video I feel influenced our song choice is Ellie Goulding's Lights, the
Bassnectar Remix as it displays a continuous use of fast edited cuts, as well
as having elements of jump cuts which we intend to incorporate within our music
video as it's proven to be hugely successful in terms of making the music video
in itself visual simulating. This remixed addition of Lights also fits into the
genre in which our music video comes from and is similar in relations to the
songs structure. Both songs have minimal lyrics which are repeated, as well as
having sections within the song that's nothing but instrumental.
The
second video I feel helped shape our final decision is the Arctic Monkeys's,
Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High? as it's inspired our music video it
terms of its content. Although we do not plan on portraying the same exact
'storyline', we do plan to shoot the protagonist roaming the streets of
Shoreditch in some parts of our video. While both songs come from different
genres of music, I still feel that this idea will portray well in our music
video as we're going for a more urban feel, although aiming to stick with and include
all the elements that make up classic Dubstep music videos.
The
third video I believe also helped to induce our ideas in terms of the effects
we could possible use for our music video is The City, by The 1975. As a group,
we were taken by simplicity of the music video that was yet, very much successful
because of its high quality in relations to the thought put into the visuals
for their music video and thought we could in integrate shots that have been
slowed down as well as shots that have been taped and then sped up, such as the
shot of the city traffic incorporated within The City's music video. We also
felt that their use of black and white throughout allowed it to stand out as
not many music videos are shot in this way, in which case we hope to possibly
use this same idea, although not throughout our entire music video.
