Influences

Here are two videos we feel have influenced our ideas on creating our video.

Natasha Bedingfield - Soulmate:


We feel the style this video is portraying is the same as we would like to achieve ourselves. The use of abstract cut-aways, shots and images, is an idea we liked before we saw the video. After viewing the video, we decided we wanted a similar style within our own piece.

Rouge Traders - VooDoo Child:


Although this video is different to the one above, we liked some of its features. It is spontaneous, colourful and uses a combinations of graphic effects.

Plain White Tee's - Hey there Delilah


We added this to our blog as we feel that the split screen effect is an idea which we would like to you, although instead of having the same background in each part, we would do a different colour wash on each.

The Video below is the opening to the film 'pledge this':


Although we know the whole effect of this video would not be possible, it is the idea of the different colours which has influenced us.

Peter Gabriel, SledgeHammer:

We found this video very helpful to us, as this video gave us the idea of how to start our music video. Also, we find it very influencial to our ideas, and the overall look to how we would like our video to look.


The Verve - This is the music:

Some good transitions, cutaways, flashy images and editing.
