Initial Ideas

Cinematography

Shots I would like to use;

• Close ups (main characters face, hands etc)
• medium shots
• long shot
• extreme long shot (from the roof of lord line)
• Pan 
• Point Of View (my entire video will be shot from the point of view of the male artist)

A lot of shots like these are used in the Closer lyrics video by The Chainsmokers, I would like to use this video as a main influence and an initial idea on cinematography and editing for my video.

An example of point of view shooting within cinematography would be the 2016 film 'Hardcore Henry' and the music video for 'False Alarm' The Weeknd this is an initial idea and another main influence for the cinematography of my music video.

Mise-en-scene

Location influences;

Below are a list of video examples from music videos which include different location ideas which will have an influence on my music video

Sia - The Greatest, location- abandoned building

Twenty One Pilots - Ride, location - forest, woodland area 

Tonight Alive - The Edge, location - roof of a building

Of Mice & Men - Bones Exposed, location - cafe/coffee shop (Beginning of video)

Costume influences;

As I have decided to create an unconventional music video where my artist is not shown at all throughout my video below are a range of music videos showing costumes which have influenced my ideas for my main female character in my video.

Lynn Gunn - PVRIS

Jenna Mcdougall - Tonight Alive

Taylor Momsen - The Pretty Reckless

Hayley Williams - Paramore
