How I think my video followed conventions of other pop videos

Azealia Banks sings against a brick wall in her video for '212', and i think this worked really well, so wanted to use it in my video:

 

 

Cher Lloyd's video for 'With Your Love' also features her walking down the street with two female friends, with her singing in the middle- This influenced my use of the 3 girls friendship in my video:

 

 

 

The brief car park scene was something I took from the Black Eyed Peas video for 'Pump It', though it it not underground in my video, I like the uncomfortable and dangerous atmosphere the lighting conveys. I also like the use of fast cuts and changes in scenes in this video, and this influenced my video hugely:

 



How I think the costume influence worked

For Alys' costume, I wanted her to stand out as looking more relaxed and bohemian, when juxtaposed to the other girls. I took this look for influences such as Joss stone and Shakira:

For Helens Costume I wanted something far more feminine and girly, this was a more fitted dress, with a floral pattern. This was influenced by Taylor Swift:

 

 

 

For Becca's costume I wanted all 3 of her outfits to be quite punky, and not necessarily associated with being female. Such as the Bob Marley T-shirt and Doc Martens. This is taken from artists which are in the pop industry (like the genre of the track), or rock. Such as Taylor Momsen, Pink, Rihanna and Selena Gomez.

 

  

Evaluation Question 1

Evaluation question 2

Evaluation Question 3

After getting other students to watch my music video I then asked some of them to give me some feedback on what they liked, and thought I could improve. From the feedback I got, they liked the quick cuts which happened often, saying it was typical of pop videos, along with the use of the dance routine, and change of locations. Although in order to improve, they suggested that I could have used more of a variety of shots, by getting more footage when filming as some of it was repeated a lot. It was also suggested that if I was to do it again I would film in more locations- doing this would then give my shots more variety.
