Inspiration

 This song is called Tainted love by Marilyn Manson. The mise-en-scene in this music video as well as the type of shots both inspire me a lot. The look of the main singer when he is in the swimming pool with the gothic looking girl, really inspired me. The idea of really gothic make-up such as black lipstick, white foundation or face paint I find it really stands out, looks unique and cool, as not many music video's have this look, yet the ones who do are still just as very successful.

Also the performance in this music video is different to the others I have watched, and I enjoy this difference. The shots are unusual for example when the main artist is in a dressing gown all gothic looking, with women surrounding him, I think both genders would enjoy this music video, I kind of want to make a music video based around both genders, with a story that both would find appealing, fun and exciting, rather than just a boring narrative music video, which is just like watching a normal film, that is not what I plan to accomplish with this years music video.

 





To me I really enjoy this music video. I got inspired by idea of just a simple white stage/background with a very strong performance. I think the white background works well with the performance in this music video. The black star image of the band really contrasts with the background, making them easier to focus on, which makes it easier to promote the band.

The props in this music video really stands out to me, I am inspired by the performance of the main artist with the microphone, I think the shots really stand out when he is confidently singing into the microphone, the shots are very clear. So I really like the idea of this layout of a performance for a music video. Also, the main artists hair has inspired me, I think he looks really funky and you can tell by his clothes,make-up and hair that he is his own identity. I kind of would like to give my main artist for my music video the same sort of  bold identity.
