Videos which have influenced my video ideas:

 

The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony

 

I like the constant use of walking and singing from just one protagonist used in this. I want to incorporate a female singer walking energetically through different streets, this is encouraged by the strong, repetitive beat throughout my song choice. The protagonist I use will also be joined by other people throughout her journey and create moving dance choreography.

 

Isaac's Music Video

 

 

A student last year produced a music video which also focused on the female protagonist, and conveyed her to be edgy with the fast cuts and high angle shots. I like the aspect of this focus, and her singing directly to the camera.

 

Rihanna- What's My Name?

 

 

At 1.30 in the video Rihanna is shot walking and dancing casually around a street, while still singing to the camera. I like the idea that people passing by are shot continuing with their lives, ignoring Rihanna.

 

Britney- Baby One More Time 

 

 

I am keen to try something similar to the routine when Britney is leading the dance through the school. I like the fact they are travelling down an aisle, as I would like to keep that pathways thoughout my video. She also continues to sing while other female dancers join her in the background.

 

Beyonce- Crazy In Love

 

 

I like the strutting Beyonce does at the beginning of the video, and her relationship with the girls when they start to dance togther. She is always leading the dancing and still lip-syncing with a playful look to the camera.
