One idea that we had when performing is use white and black to show evil vs black. One music video that I found is Korean but it only used white and black with random but meaningful objects to produce their music video.
One thing that drew my attention was the lighting that is used at the backround its simple but effective. I also noticed that they used editing alot like slow motion to match it with the music. If we only use white and black we have to think about where we set our location and costumes. We thought of using only white and black becasue it creates atmosphere and we want to show the evil character of the girl.
The above music video has a narrative based on the lyrics. This one uses limited colours but there is a part where she changes from white to black which I thought it matches with our lyrics.One thing that I liked was the costume that she is wearing when performing the dance. The lyrics are asking for desparate souls to come to her and rest which matches the narrative that is showing. In our music video we are thinking of having the narrative but in a way that she is getting the confidence.
One other interesting Korean music video was a group of singers called 'Three brothers' and i don't know if they actually sang it or if they are just dancers. But the video looked really unique and it made me think about the lyrics more because there wasn't a narrative. However the dance routine actually matches with the lyrics. Even though our music is not romance or love centered music which we could have a dance routine, but the locations are simple but it works really well, it looks natural which we want to do it as well.
Even though is not a band, the video made me think about the use of third as well as the importance of costumes. In our music video we don't want the band to wear bright clothes but something that shows their characteristics.
One music video that also made me think about location is 'Empire state of mind'. This also does not have narrative but used different locations and shown them as pictures matched to the beats to the music.
In our music video, I want lots of different locations because than we have more shots to use and more variety of different style of shots.
Further more, one music video that I found out had special editing skills included which made the video to be made like a comic book.
Our song is like a girl who was not confident about her self but as the song is played on she gets more confident, the music video exactly shows how we can show this if we include narrative. The camera movements, costume and location. Also this vidoe has voyeuristic shots of the girl singer this is done by what she wears and low and high angle camera shots. In our music video we don't want voyeuristic shots but high and low angle will be good to use.
I had the idea of making the guitarists to wear masks because then it creates atmosphere and lets the audience to concentrate on the singer when performing. One music video that used masks to cover people's faces that I found is not a bnad but it makes the audience to focus on the main characters. Also if we could, I want to use the technique where the character moves or stands sill and other things move or stand still. In order to this, we may need to include narrative.
