My Inspiration

This is a really good example of people using silhouettes. It is very original and creative, hence why I really liked it. Also, they use people whereas most videos I have researched have used puppets or cardboard cutouts, which makes it really relevant to my own ideas for my music video. It is also done to music which is also a strong link to music video. When the throw objects and use other props such as balloons, it really opened my eyes to the different props I could use, I think the balloon idea is amazing and it defiantly something I would consider using in my own video.

This is the video that really planted the whole idea in my head. The main part I liked is where both singers are singing to each other as a silhouette on the screen in the background at about 2 minutes 50 seconds. Expressions play such an important part when trying to convey passion and expressing your feelings yet both singers are so passionate even though you can't see there faces. This is why I really wanted to use the idea, as it has such an amazing presence.

This video really plays with light. It also has the vintage effect that I really love. At around 2 minutes there is a scene of a silhouetted face, where you can really see the lips moving and then a cloud of smoke covers the image. I would really like to play around with the smoke idea as well as the close up of the face. I like the close up because you can see the artist singing the words, something I would really like to do in my own video. Plus using the smoke would potentially help the video be more interesting.
