Kayne West's music video for 'Runaway' was one of our inspirations which influenced as through their use of editing, performance, narrative, mise en scene and effects. But most of all the performance they used with the dancers is what intrigued me the most. As we are going to include some sort of dance form in ours i particularly liked the large number of ballerinas, their matching costumes, and fluid movements. A high angle shot is used at the beginning in a long shot with Kayne and the dancers all the frame setting the scene. I liked the way close ups were used when Kayne was singing the lyrics, then jump cuts to him playing the piano. I loved the simplicity, purity of this video, no heavy editing, but alot of beautiful movement, & an outside mise en scene location which is where we will perform our video aswell.
Another music video, Bruno Mars 'Just the way you are' influenced me in their editing. My group really liked the idea at the beginning of this video, when Bruno writes and draws shapes with the casset tape, however we don't know whether we can recreate this as it requires alot of editing skills. I also liked the shots going between Bruno Mars and the girl he is singing to, reflecting on their love story, something we can play upon in our video.
Chris Browns music video 'With you' influenced me in a similar way Kanye West's video did when it came to the performance. His dancing in contrast to the ballerinas in 'Runaway' is more urban, street, something more modern and fresh. Plus the editing includes slow motion, something i'd lvoe to use in my music video when choreography is shown, it will add effect, the colour changes on his costumes are interesting and grabbed my attention. He has many costume changes which our dancers and our lip syncing person will have too to add interest diversity and imagination.
