Performance Inspiration

In our final product, we will try to replicate something that most music videos do - a performance from the band (singer) and narrative as well. With narrative ideas yet to be finalised, here is an example of what we are going base our performance on.

Music Video Inspiration: 



Throughout this music video, there is only the band playing the song live, but does this make it a boring music video? I think not. There are several elements to the music video that make it innovative and engaging. First of which is the video's variety of camera angles. They have a range of extreme close ups, longs shots and medium shot - all of which are pictured below.










The low key lighting is also an element that I will take from this video. It's use of white and black makes the music video rather ominous yet symbolic of the lyrics and atmosphere of the song. In addition to this, the camera movement is predominantly hand held. This makes the video much more immersive - as if you are actually with the band. As a result of this, the music video is very unique and manages to create an intimate feel between audience and band.
