About My Inspired Music Video (Brief)

The music video that has inspired me in composing my own music video is selah - "a woman world". I searched numerous amount of videos and found this one is my favourite. The reason for this choice is beause its plain and simple, filmed in a studio rather than filmed at diffrent locations which may make the video look "Cheap" and disarranged.

I like the establishing shots within the music video so have decided to use something silmilar within mine. the reason i like the establishment shots is because it defines each of the band members, it zooms right in to define their features enabling the target market members to become familar with the band members. The fact that it is just a simple colour at the background brings out the artist more making the shot look "classy" and "Smart" not too much is going on within the frame. Another Advantage of this kind of establishing shot is that there is nothing else going on within the frame so doesent distract you from the establishment of the band members.

I also like the way the name of the group flashes on screen it may be seen as an other establishment but this time of the group name rather than the members. We may even decide to include something like this within our music video.

I am also inspired by the costume and makeup within the music video they are both just plain and natural. The fact that the girls within the music video are fully dressed it challenges the conventions that women dress up as little as possible creating sex symbols for the male audience.

The fact that they also create their own individual unique look like how Lady GaGa does in her music videos. It makes them diffrent from other musicians in the same market as them. For Example one of the band members within the music video wears a helmet type of hat, something i have never seen be done before.

The numerous amount of diffrent shots makes the music video look more professional and gives more variety to the music video. Such shots include high angle, low angle, long shot, close-up etc.

The fact that the shots and mis-en-scene within the music video go with the lyrics and soundtrack, the music video is based on a "womans world" they have props that associate with a womans lifestyle such as the colour schemes used and flowers.

I also like how during the establisment shots of each of the band members, names came up during the shot linking the band members with their names for future referance. It gives more information on each of the band members from each of the establishment shots including name and identity.
