Music Video and Films for Inspiration

Music Videos

 Closer - Tegan and Sara

We have taken inspiration from this video as it shows a party situation similar to what we want to achieve when our video is finished, the artists are also not well known and alternative, like Ben, our chosen artist. 

We liked this music video because it is very similar with how we want our music video to look at points. The lighting is the main element that captured our attention because it is soft and naturalistic which juxtaposes the wild atmosphere captivating the audience. We liked the loose but effective use of narrative in this video, and also the equality which is seen between genres and sexuality, it is an effective video because it shows a large mixture of people all enjoying themselves.

 What a Night - Lovable Rogues

 

This music video is a little bit more wild than the video above because it is mainly dominated by males who stereotypically have a crazier time, we like the party scenes used in this video however the representation of gender is not something we would be likely to use in our video.

  If I Were A Boy -  Beyoncé

We have chosen this Beyonce video as it is done in black and white, which we want sections of our video to be in, and also because she shares similar emotions in the video to what we want Ben, our chosen artist to feel in our video. Although we don't want any inequality in our video with regards to how gender is represented we do like how this video challenges the typically gender conventions seen in music videos.

Films:

The Breakfast Club (1985)

We have chosen this film as we believe it contains similar themes and feeling that we want to include in our music video, such as love and feeling lost as a teenager/young adult.
