SOAK - B A NOBODY
This music video was inpirational to me. I really liked the greyscale used and found that it helped emphasise the dull, lifeless atmosphere following the storyline. Also, I liked the narrative and the link between the lyrics and visuals.
ADY SULEIMAN - SO LOST
I also used this video as an inspiration. I liked the distortion used, like the 360 degrees spinning, linking the lyrics 'I've been so lost in my mind' to the nauseous feel from the camera movements.
JARRYD JAMES - DO YOU REMEMBER
Do You Remember was also a major inspiration, I loved the grayscale which again exaggerated the dullness of the video. We will take this effect and use it in our music video. I also liked the use of lighting, which was constantly changing in every shot on the beat. In our video, we will also try to play around with lighting and focus, to determine which effects work best, helping to send out the message of the storyline.

New Desert Blue - Zachary
We liked this song as it was upbeat, and there was a good pace leading up to the chorus. Also, we were able to find some shots which related to the lyrics. However, we found that finding enough footage for the songs entire length was a struggle, as we could find no real storyline to fit with the song.

Other A2 music video inspirations
I liked the performance aspect of the video (0:55) with a plain background so the singer is the main focus. However, in my video I will add artwork to the background as our performance aspects are shown for longer periods and start to get boring. The artwork will keep the viewer focused.
I liked the grey scale (0:31) which helped the audience differentiate between past and present - the colour footage is present the grayscale is past footage. I will use this in my video tp prevent the audience getting confused with the storyline
I liked the time lapse of the sky (0:11 and 0:18) and I will recreate this is my music video but at a slower rate to fit the rhythm of our song
If I use ideas from this music videos I need to change them to
