Music Video Inspirations

When thinking of what I wanted to do for my music video I looked at a wide variety of different music videos and shown below is a list of different music videos with aspects that I would like to include in my music video.

Britney Spears feat. Madonna - Me Against the Music 

When watching this music video I liked this shot a lot because it shows both of the artists together but they are separated by a wall. I want to end my music video with this shot because I think it will be very effective to bring both of my artists together at the end to show that they are feeling exactly the same.

Girls Aloud, Sugababes - Walk This Way
This music video uses the same technique as shown above by having two rooms shown in one shot so I may use this long shot as well in my music video. My music video is going to be set in two separate windows with an artist in each so I think it might be good to use this shot in my music video to show the similarities between their lives. Also when both of the artists are singing together, such as the chorus, this would be a good shot to show as it enables the audience to see that both of them are now singing.

Sia - Chandelier   
When watching this video I thought that a location similar to this one would be suitable for my music video and it is the location that I had in mind because it is quite mysterious and should be quite accessible for me to find. I wanted an abandoned, empty room which is shown in the image above so this music video has helped me visualise more clearly where I want my music video to mainly be set.

One Republic - Counting Stars
I really liked this technique when watching this music video because it doesn't have any resemblance to the lyrics or the video but it looks very effective and professional. So I would like to include this in my music video however I don't think I would be able to do this because it would be quite dangerous as I'd have to place water onto an electric bulb which is a hazard as I could get electrocuted so I think I will avoid doing this as it could harm me or others. Although I would love to include this in my music video because I think it would fit in well and would look very good.
I also like location for this music video because it is similar to what I want for my music video. I think it is set in a run down basement with furniture scattered everywhere and paint peeling off the walls. I like this location as it matches the style that I want for my music video
