Inspiration for our video

We got influenced by quite a few music videos as well as our own ideas, that we are going to put into our music video. One of the music videos that influenced us was Beyonce - Countdown.

One of the ideas we took from this video was the background changing in the shot, we also thought about having the characters clothing change like Beyonce is in her video with the background, using the green screen.

 

This is the part where the color of her clothes change with the background in sync with the beat. However we decided not to go with the green screen and instead go with the stop motion. We thought that doing stop motion we could make it look much better and we are more comfortable with it since we had quite a few ideas for it. 

One of inspirational music videos was the "Milk Maid" by another group from previous year, we really liked how they done some parts of the song in sync with the beat and also the zoom in and out on the shot which we found really impressive. We decided to show some close up shots as well  however we are doing bigger print outs of the images rather than zooming in with the camera because that way we are not going to lose our camera alignment. We also got some of the ideas to our music video from brain storming for example: the birds which represent happiness are going to be included in the video.
