Below are some screen shots from the music videos for…
Brighter than the sun- Colbie Caillat
Put your records on- Corinne Bailey Rae
Under the sun- Cheryl Cole
I have studied the music videos throughout the process of my production work and
there are certain similarities in shot types between them. I used and developed
conventional settings such as using a car or flowers in the shots and worked them into
the video narrative. The music videos are all extremely successful and so I was
inspired to use some of the ideas but use them creatively in my own video. I have
developed from the shots in the music videos because I used different camera angles
and shots, for example with the bike I used an extreme long shot to fit in the setting
around her instead of an extreme close up on the bike. I wanted to portray natural
settings in my video such as flowers and trees and the sunshine in the camera effect
and so I think I was inspired by these videos because they also have this feel about
them.
