Inspirational Music Video.

We came across this video on Youtube whilst looking for inspiration and decided that we liked the theme of producing a black and white style video. We liked this idea because our theme is going to be based on indie rock type music and we believe that the black and white would work better than doing it in full colour as we thought it would be a different approach of taking back time and bringing the the past back to life, by using an unsigned local band to our advantage. What we liked from this particular music video is how the story gives you a sense of emotion towards the main character and automatically links the attention to the story. What we noticed about this style video is that with it being in black and white it is associated with negative feelings which reflects the song within the video.

Again we came accross this video and straight away we liked how is was also in black and white. Another aspect we noticed was how the story on the video starts before the actual music starts as this gives an insight of the storyline. Also we like how ther camera follows the characters every move, then sometimes she is the cameras perspective. The video is set in the mode of the first person which we thought was interresting as its as though the whole song is based on her life. Throughout the video there is an aspect of isolation to the extent that she is the main focus and there is only one other recognisable character. This is also very useful to us as the area we would be filming in is sort of like the one in this video. We liked this because it has the theme that we are looking for in our own video.    

We also like this video, it is a bit different to the others as they are fully black and white.
This video has the use of contrast between both the colour and the black and white which we also like. There is the use of different ways in which it is shot, such as the four grid shot which has different colours in each box (photo A). We like the way in which the colour is used in (photos B&C).
In our video we will be using the staged band aspect, the way it is used in this could be used in ours, however our storyline doesn't revolve entirely focused on the band.

 Photo A. We like this effect on the video for ours because it isn't like a normal video, the effect of using the different colours in each square gives a different view on each position that he is in.

Photo B & C. We like the contrast of the red and blue and the pink and green, however in the video each colour is practically pushed off the screen, fading from red, to blue, green to pink. This effect would be good to use in ours as it will place a contrast with the black and white at certain points within the video
