Music Videos Which Have Previously Influenced the Final Planning Decisions

Editing / Filming

Dionne Bromfeild & Tinchy Stryder - Spinin’ for 2012

In one of my previous blog post about my own idea of using wipes for transitions that I thought of and told my group, we have decided to use it as it will be an interesting way of editing and we think that it will fit well with what we are planning to do performance wise during filming

Filming

Katy Perry - Firework

N-Dubz - Boy Better Know

For filming we have decided that we want to have 4-5 locations that we will film at and film more than one base track at each location. We have also decided that we will film the location we are at in different angles and try to show it in our video as well as film the performer in different camera angles and shots. This can be seen in the Firework & Boy Better Know music video

Mise-en-Scene

Lana Del Ray - Born to Die

Hilary Duff - Beat of My Heart

While group discussion a member from my group put forward the idea of having a chic room for a location of filming which the idea was influenced from the mise-en-scene of Lana Del Ray Born to Die music video which we all agreed that we wanted in our music video. Then after doing some research into hotel rooms we saw a room with a swing in it, which then gave another member of the group an idea of having a hoop swing in our video which then reminded my of the music video Beat of My Heart from Hilary Duff which shows her swing on a hope in a chic room.
So the music videos mise-en-scene of the rooms has influenced us.
