1. INFLUENCES ON
STYLE

2. ◦ Influences on style come from the genre of the music video, the mise en scene of style
helps set the scene and the storyline for a video.
For example – in the music video Ed Sheeran A team, the girl is dressed in old ragged
clothing with her dovey wrapped around her this would convey that she is homeless due to
the lack of wealthy clothing she has and how the mise en scene has presented her to be.
My music video isn’t based on a homeless girl but it will present the same image of being
‘lost’ and ‘depressed’ and I will therefore be able to present the same influences of style
as this music video.

3. As in the video of Christina Agularia, this has influenced me to create the same scene in
which this music video portrays of her getting ready for a night out. She is in the mirror putting
on her bright red lipstick with her hair in rollers surrounded by her friends having a drink – this
conveys a message of Christina Agulaira extremely happy and excited for a night out. The use
of long shots suggests the setting which she is in of her bedroom and the outfit choice she
chooses , the close ups help to demonstrate the happiness of the girls also. This has influenced
me as for my own music video I wanted to convey an image of a happy young girl who is
changed by her boyfriend after he breaks her heart, this music video suggested to me I could
convey this through showing her off in the start of the video to be getting ready with all her
friends happy and glammed up.
