inspirational music videos

A influential music video that has contributed key ideas to help create and develop our music video is by Marina and the diamonds - Primadonna . This music video gave us inspirations due to the key themes of a vintage feel as well as the bright and bold colours on her make up and clothing . Marina is a very unique artist , so by listening to her music and certainly watching a music video you can tell it is her . This music video specifically captures a vintage theme of old props , e.g. chandeliers , old grand beds , silk and her locations (which is set in a big old mansion ) . The use of editing in this music video represents a more of a rough view , as though some of the footage is being filmed by the camera , by doing this the music video creates a ‘homemade’ idea and makes the video seem less Hollywood , contradicting to the mise en scene. Marina’s image in this music video is very ‘cartoonish’ , bright lipstick , thick eyelashes , hard placed hair , all of these factors help capture her star image and promote her music . Our group music video aspire to this because of how we want to represent our artist , the bright lips , colourful clothes and a vintage and down to earth feel . As well as this the music video is still very glamorous but in a subtle and fashionable way . Another inspirations from this music video was Marinas persona , she gives off a innocence and cute vibe but as the music changes she gives off a lot more attitude and becomes a lot more sassy , which we will include in our music video because it relates to the lyrics as well as the star image .

Influential Music videos - Katy Perry

Katy Perry's California Girls music video is influential to my music video because of its bold and bright colours with animations . For our music video we want to include a green screen to give an animated bright effect to appeal more to an audience  capturing the animation of our artist . Katy Perry's music video uses different locations and settings that are created through CGI and the green screen , the bold and bright colours capture the fun and happiness of the music video which links to how we want to express our artist image in our music video. Even though our story narrative is about a couple breaking up and reflecting on their relationship the lyrics and overall emotion is very sarcastic and playful trying to highlight the funny side of the relationship , this is why we want to use a green screen to explore the different type os animation and locations we can use to capture this .

I chose this Music video because firstly Lily Allen is an inspiration for a music choice and whole persona of the character and music video but also because of the style of it. Lily Allen is a unique London styled girl, compared to the glitz and glam of Hollywood and that is the same for the star we created. The use of bright colours, clothing, make up etc. in the music stands out contrasting to the locations in the music video, for example the café, on the street and at home. This links to our music video and we use a bus stop, bar, a bedroom and a car for different location, these locations are very simple to emphasize the reality of the characters, rather than a huge Hollywood action music video. The use of simplistic and realistic locations captures the narrative as well because the narrative and lyrics are about heart break and wanting revenge on a past relationship and since that is a very common feeing after heart break, people can relate to this music video a lot more.
