R & P Post 5: The kind of video I would like to make

Foals, Mountain At My Gates

Although I highly doubt that we can use a 360-degree GoPro or other advanced piece of technology, I really admire how the video experiments with both its use of camerawork as well as the cinematography & look of the video. For this reason, I would love to make a video that utilises at least a few shots with interesting angles or movement which helps to embed the video into memory, as I believe Foals have done.

Jessie J, Price Tag

I have included Price Tag, as I really like how it not only uses different colours and themes for its shot backgrounds - similar to our Taylor Swift prelim - and also utilises performance in different scenarios and with different props - often using Goodwin's theory as there is a clear link between lyrics and visuals (such as the money tree on "it's not about the money", 1:03). For both of these reasons, I believe it is a useful reference point to use for our own video.

Ciara, Like a Boy

Similarly to the Foals video, Ciara makes interesting use of black and white for artistic effect. Having discussed potential feminist elements to our artist early on, this could be a potential reference point for the way in which she delivers her message - especially through dance. Again, although the standard of performance may not be to a professional standard, the video is still an inspiration to potentially include some artistic or dance elements.
