Music Video inspiration

STREET SPIRIT (FADE OUT) - RADIOHEAD

The blend of two shots fading into each other is fitting to our trailer as we want to use the benefits of Black and White and close up shots to escalate the discomfort and vulnerability of our Busker. The fading in and out represents the indecisive and unsure elements of her life and the choices she has to make.

JONNY CASH - HURT

This extract demonstrates the sense of loneliness and vulnerability we want our girls Grandfather to have. The framing used is something similar to what we envisioned when we discussed a shot of the Grandfather in his house, in the country.

The dark silhouette styling of the shot is also useful in delivering these themes.

MOUNT KIMBIE - CARBONATED

This music videos style uses low lighting with blues tinges to it; this colour theme is something we like however we might de-saturate the colour down to increase its purpose and impact.

The first picture features a panning shot on London, with a wide angle to include more in the shot. The lights that shimmer of the river create a pleasing view. The wide angle also adds a sense of perspective into the shot - demonstrating an immense scope of London.

The second picture is a tracking shot, moving backwards with the subject, and bobbing up and down. This creates a drained, sloppy mood - which would reiterate our characters feelings that revolve around her story.

ED SHEERAN - THE A TEAM

The music video uses all black and white shots to create a more gritty vibe to the video, portraying homelessness and the struggles the girl in the video is facing.

The shots include use of time lapse photography, which is a great way of showing time moving around the girl, and how her world stands still, staying the same. 

in thew video they have added a level of prostitution, to show how she has to make money to fuel her addictions. This is a good way of bringing a hard hitting storyline into a short film, as the cinematography is easy to portray well, without it looking cheesy, such as with a theme like drugs.
