Planning for music video

Hi Blog,

Last week lesson Abby, Moji and I, we went just outside of the lesson to have some quiet time together to think of the things we would like for our music video.

Like I have mentioned, We have decided to choose the song called "Starving" by Hailee Steinfeld

After deciding on the song that we were going to do, we have decided to do extra research on our own and go on different music videos to watch and get ideas of what we can use and adapt in our music video.

I have had some ideas that I have nip from other music videos.
For examples the slow motion movements of the characters, the close ups of the character's body parts e.g. arm, leg, face
The music video that I really liked was Selena Gomez's song - Kill them with kindness because of the black and white shots and the close ups of her which was very eye catching and the slow movements were very rhythmic with the song.

Even these scenes are shot in a depressing emotion but I feel that it is very powerful and gives a perfect signal to audiences and therefore I want to make a similar shot that is as powerful as these shots.










Moreover, I also like the music video of Miley Cyrus - "Adore You" due to the white sheets and calm environment which I can used or adapt to my music video. Also, the close ups here are significant as it shows her feelings a lot and emphasizes her situation linked to the music.

The lights or effects here are what I feel can also be put onto my music video and the what sheets can also be my intertextuality as well. 
The song here however contrasts because the genre in Miley's song is pop and slow while Hailee "Starving" song is more upbeat and has a sub genre of EDM as well. 



In addition, Justin Bieber - "Company" track is another favorite of mine. Even though Justin Bieber scenes were in different places but I feel that every shot is meaningful to him and therefore portrayed in this music video. 

 This shot of Justin and his reflection is another shot that I feel is very different and unique because if this shot was taken not as well, it changes the mood or audiences view point.

I really love this shot because the sunset behind Justin Bieber really makes this scene very relaxed and makes it different from the other shots with other effects.
