Music video inspiration

James Blunt music videos

1973

This music video is a very similar style to what I want my video to look like. It uses different colours/filters to show the past and the present within the video. The shots in brighter colours are shots of the past and the dull coloured shots show the present. This video is continuous, showing James Blunt walking along the path the whole way through. My music video will include a variety of locations and will use black and white and slightly blurred shots to show the 'memory' shots and everything else will be in colour to show its the present.

Stay the night

I think this video has some features I want to include in my own video. The use of manual focus is used very well and I would like to use this in my own video. I also like the use of blurry shots as it doesn't make it look unprofessional and badly filmed but adds to the video and makes it interesting to watch.

Styling

Artist style mood board

 

 

This is my updated style mood board for my artist. I want to use a similar style to Ed Sheeran as he often wears jeans and t-shirts with checked shirts or a hoodie.

 

As I will be filming in multiple outdoor locations I will have my artist in a different outfit for each location. I will keep them similar, jeans and t-shirt paired with a shirt, hoodie or coat. The acoustic guitar will feature throughout the video.

Female style mood board



 

The style of the artist and video is casual so I am also using a casual style for the female involved in the narrative of the video. The outfit will stay the same the whole way through as the girl will only be involved in 'memory' shots except for one at the very end. I am including ripped jeans in this outfit as this detail is included in the lyrics of the song and I want to include this in the narrative of the video.
