Music Videos That Use Shots Inside A Car

This music video incorporates Katy Perry sitting in a car looking out at the natural scenery. We will also be incorporating this into our music video although our artist won't be singing whilst in the car, like Katy Perry is here. 

Even though this video is not english, the same idea has been used to film shots inside a car. The shot of the two people in the back seat is good, however we plan to film Rosa-Leigh in the passenger seat, with her hands out of the window.



At the beginning of The Black Keys music video they use an inside the car shot for only a few seconds but it is at a similar angle to what we ant to use but more panned to the left so that you can see the artist and the natural scenery outside the window of the car. 

Music Videos That Use Out Of Focus Shots

Noche Nada by Givers includes many different shots, most of which blur out of focus and then cuts to a refined shot that is in focus. This effect is good because it keeps the audience entertained and adds a home-made video aspect to it and it's not clear cut and professional, it blurs lines and colour to create a unique video.

Summertime Sadness contains blurry shots due to the vintage effect, which makes the footage out of focus.

This effect has been achieved with experimenting with water, creating a distorted and blurred effect, something our out of focus shots hope to achieve.



Daughter uses some out of focus shots in their video which they use to move from one band member to another as a transition but without cutting/editing. 

Music Videos That Use Bubbles

Even though this song belongs to a more dance-y genre the video is based around giant bubbles. Even though this is slightly different to our idea, the basics are the same; the video contains bubbles and they are accepted as normal and playful, making the actors dance. They have a positive effect on the audience.

Unfortunately this is the only music we could find that uses bubbles, but we are hoping to give the same type of effect that their bubbles give to the audience which is a happy, playful and fun.  

Music Videos That Have Shots Of The Artist Laying On The Ground

In Noche Nada by Givers, the actors are filmed lying on the ground at around 3:06. We hope to achieve this look in our video too, filming Rosa-Leigh singing on the ground, her hair displayed in a similar position.

 

At around 1:05 in the video (and displayed as the image above) Hayley Williams from Paramore lies down in the cards and is filmed from above. Although we are not zooming out, we are attempting the technique used in Noche Nada, this is still a good representation of what we hope to achieve and where we got the idea from.

Music Videos With Natural Scenery In Them

Lana Del Reys "Video Games" music video uses lots of natural and outdoor shots that are similar to what we will be using in our music video.

'HAIM' use natural scenery all the way through the video like we will be doing with our video to create a relaxed, calm and natural effect on the audience.The colours through the video closely relate the the colours we will be using. At the end of the video they use a car to leave in which also gives the audience a sense of happiness and makes them feel even more relaxed because then you realise they were just having fun. We're using a car in our music video but our artist Rosa-Leigh is in the car relaxing looking at the natural scenery out the window giving the same effect to the audience as 'HAIM".

 

Static Camera, Different Shots

We like the idea of having the camera in one place, and filming several shots with either different people, dance moves or actions, and then editing them like this, as it's upbeat and you can do lots with it. 

1 - Having the camera in the same place and using straight cuts to show the different footage
2 - Having the camera in the same place and overlapping the images so the actions are happening at the same time, but in different places
