Inspirations

We as a group together did a lot of research for our music video. We all looked at different music video from different genres and different styles and methods of music videos. What we were looking for was techniques, method and different manner the videos had.

Overall there were two music videos that inspired me which was:

Beyonce – Sweet Dreams

Calvin Harris – Ready For The Weekend

Beyonce’s music video for “sweet Dreams” is a brilliant music video, what makes the video good is the skills they used. The video is all filmed in one location, which is in a blue screen room or a green screen room. By using the blue or green screen backgrounds the director and editor had freedom to put any effects they wanted. The video itself usually uses a white background which is unique from other videos. The costume changing also played a big role, at some parts while the background changed the costume changed as well, this gave the viewers feel of different atmosphere every time they changed.  

The other music video encouraged was Calvin Harris’s music video for “Ready For The Weekend” this video uses one major effect which is zooming in and zooming out of objects. In this video the used they also used a blue screen or a green screen room. The video had fun and happiness atmosphere to it, as they used multiple bright colours, funky costumes, multiple objects for the zooming in and out affects, dancers in many different costume colours and props used.
