1. Panic At The Disco- This is Gospel
The opening shots of this video greatly inspired our music video because we took the idea of having the vocalist lying down still whilst things were going on around them and we did this in the outside shots with our female vocalist. We thought this was effective because the vocalist held the camera's eye and did not look away- this relates to Goodwin's idea of star quality as we wanted to promote the artist by using intimate angles/close up shots and getting her to look directly to the camera.
2. Maroon 5- MAPS
This video inspired our editing as we edited our music video in a similar order to the one in the maps video which is in reverse order. This was effective because it did not illustrate the narrative in a chronological order which is typically done in most music videos, but started from the present, went to past then back to the present.
3. Paramore Decode
This video is similar to our music video because it uses and an outside/nature location and it is also the same band of our chosen song. The location is a convention of rock music videos and we adhered to that by shooting our video in a forest, however unlike decode we did not have shots of a band playing live which is also a convention of rock music videos.
