Inspirational music videos

Rihanna- We found love ft. Calvin Harris



When I first watched this Rihanna music video, I found the start of the music video
very catchy and emotional, and then the music starts. I like the beginning, because it
is almost like an overview of their relationship together. I also am really inspired by
the shot of them in the bath tub together. The expression, and the make-up on her face
shows real emotion. I think this is a good video to Rhianna's career because it shows
a insight into her life, and tells you more about her as an artist. To me, I find that
music video's that start without music, and show a bit of narrative at the start, or that
tell a story at the start are more easier to understand, and connect with.



Rihanna-Hate that I love you ft. Neyo


This is also another one of Rihanna's music video's, also starting without the music
and she's in her underwear and there's just some narrative before the music starts. I would
like to do something like this maybe, but perhaps shorter than 30 seconds. I am inspired by there
being a bit of narrative before the music video starts. Also, I noticed popular artists often have
their music video's to start off without the music, it almost makes the music video seem more
realistic and is a way to promote a artist, and a way for the audience to get to know the artist a
little bit more, and maybe understand them personally. 

Inspirational music video

This music video really inspires me. There is a lot of voyeurism in this music video,
and this is the main reason why I am inspired by it. An example of voyeurism in
this music video is when the main singer is filming a guy and a girl be sexual
with each other. This is similar to our music video idea, where the story
is very sexual.

Also, I am really inspired by the female in a corset. Her outfit is very revealing, but
also sexual. I hope to give the female character in my music video a similar sort
of style, but not as revealing. I like the idea of the black corset though, and may
have something similar, as our music video is emo.

I am also inspired by the idea that the main singer was sitting on a chair watching the
girl move. This shows his attraction for the girl. In my music video I hope to
have a similar shot, but perhaps a close-up of the guy sitting down on the camera, and
instead of the female being infront of him, she's next to him touching him
sexually.

Overall this video has inspired me most. I have watched it several times, to get into
my head more shot ideas for my music video.

Main Artist for music video.




 Daniel Walter
The reason why we chose Daniel to play as our main artist in our music video, is because
of the way he looks, not only the way he looks, but also the clothes he owns. Daniel already
has the hair length and colour that we were looking for, he is also just generally a good
looking guy. We thought it would be much quicker if we just took part in the music video.
As our music video is based on a relationship, a sexual one, we are both in it together, as
me and Daniel are currently in a relationship. We didn't manage to find anyone else willing
to be as revealing in the music video, yet me and Daniel are very comfortable and
confident around each other, and on camera. Daniel doesn't mind wearing make-up or
dressing up, this is also a main reason to why I chose him. Daniel is very good at lip
syncing, and knows all the words to the song.
 We're creating a gothic looking male artist, who is known for wearing
make-up. We want to create a unique artist, who looks free, and comfortable
looking different from everyone else. We want him to really stand out, but
at the same time have a memorable star image.

Female Actress for music video  

Lauren Vlahos (me)

I really enjoy wearing make-up and dressing up, for me dressing up a little

bit revealing is ok if it's only for a music video, but that's it. I enjoy acting

and playing different roles. I feel comfortable around Daniel all the time,

and I am not at all embarassed to be in a sexual music video with him.

As long as we achieve the abstract, interesting music video we aim to, 

then it doesn't matter to us, just as long as people enjoy it and find it cool.

I don't mind wearing gothic make-up, and I have a lot of dressing up 

clothes, so this makes the process a lot easier and quicker. We already

have everything we need to achieve the gothic voyeurism style we want.
