Inspiration for my music video

For my inspiration i have been watching music videos on YouTube and MTV, hoping that i might get some ideas as to what kind of video i want to create. I've chosen some music videos which i really enjoyed and explained what i liked and disliked about them and if there are any elements i might want to include in my own video.

Somebody that i used to know- Gotye 

This song has quite a slow tempo, in addition to this the shots are really long, there aren't many cuts to other shots. I like the calming effect, the audio and along with its visuals which complement each other. also i really the large amount of lip-syncing and will consider this when planning and creating my own video. Although there is no live performance it gives the audience the impression that the people are singing along.





Next Year- Two Door Cinema Club
I really like the slow motion effects used in this video, it adds to the surrealism occurring in the rest of the video such as the jacket and pillow 'walking' I like the use again of lip syncing, and at the end of the video there is a live performance.



Adele- To Make You Feel My Love
Just like Gotye, the tempo of this music video is slow and again the lip syncing is brilliant. I like the fact that all of shot are well filmed.

These three videos were the three i enjoyed the most out of all the ones i watched. The similarities between them include a slow tempo, slow motion effects, straight cuts, pastel colors and brilliant lip syncing. Working with these features will help me produce the best music video that contain all of these effects. I believe this will be where my creative talent lies so i will aim to incorporate these effects.
