More Inspiration

With help from Hannah, I researched some music videos to help with further inspiration and to get ideas for shooting my video.

Delilah - Go
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxNe9jWNuEU
I like how she is walking through an empty street and singing directly into the camera - it makes her look powerful. The shots at the beginning are held for a long time - if I was to do this I need to make sure they don't become boring. The camera films Delilah's side profile and other angles whilst she is still walking and singing at the beginning - I could do this with Hannah to show her surroundings when she is singing. There is a shot of the sky to show what time of day it is - night time. I am also going to film a shot of the sky but for a different reason - the clouds to show that Hannah is daydreaming.

Lauren Aquilina - Fools
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uodUCtmCRME
We chose to watch this video because it is the same kind of genre as 'Bigger Than Me' and Lauren Aquilina has a similar sounding voice as Hannah. The video consists of Lauren on a 'journey' and cuts back to her singing to the camera at different points - this is what I'd like to do in my video. 

Becky CJ - Easy For You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6WP8ro8u4s
At the beginning of this video there are shots of scenery like grass and woods - this is exactly how I want to begin my video. There are lots of shots of Becky singing in the middle of a field, as though she is lost - I like this idea and it would be suitable for my "Bigger Than Me" video. She sings a lot to the camera, breaking the fourth wall - I do not want to do as much of this as Becky does because i want to tell more of a story in my video. 

Gabrielle Alpin - Home
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pLsb1YMsKE

This video cuts between close ups and long shots of Gabrielle singing and her walking through fields 'on a journey' - this is very similar to what I want to do in my video. I think it looks effective how there are different shots and angles of her climbing the gate - I would like to do this in my video of Hannah climbing a gate whilst on her walk though the country side. An over the shoulder shot is used to show Gabrielle looking out into the distance and show her surroundings/the landscape - I would like to also do this in my video.
