2. The videos I have taken influence from
are ‘Empire state of mind’ by Jay-z &
Wiz Khalifa – young wild and free.
3. Visual style
The reason I have chosen these videos
are because in ‘Empire state of mind’
they use loads of lights in their video
and my music video will be about lights.
Also the reason I have chosen
‘Young, wild and free’ was because of
the transitions and how they use the
camera shots in their video.
4. Influences
For example in the Empire state of mind
video they have used black and white at the
beginning and then later in the video they
used colours. Since my video is about lights
(All of the lights) I will use black and white at
the beginning and when the song drops I will
add colour to the video to make it more
affective with the title.
In the Young, Wild and Free music video at the
beginning they have some real life footage like
the two artist talking about creating a party and
then as the song drops the music video starts. I
will try to create the same affect while using the
Empire state of mind affect with black and white.
5. Editing
The editing in both videos are similar
because they both show the
environment the artist are in.
The reason I like the editing in the
videos are because in ‘Empire state of
mind’ is because its fast phase and fun
to watch, also the video contains lights
and show light effects which I want to
use, these effects are good for the
performance part of music videos.
6. Use of COLOUR
The use of colour in both videos are
attractive to watch because they have
many different colours and making it
seem interesting to watch.
In empire state of mind at the beginning
we see black and white colour which
make it boring but when the song goes
into the chorus its interesting to watch
because they change back to colours.
7. Cinematography
Both videos use a variety of shots but
mostly medium and long shots of the
artists and their body language to show
their expressions to the audience. The
long shots are mostly used to show the
location so it keeps the audience
entertained.
