Animated Influences - Indie Genre

Kate Nash - Foundations
This used to be my favourite song when I was 14 so no wonder her music video has inspired my own.
I like the use of colour within the costumes and set, but also the animation with the socks, watches and tooth brushes! This is what I'd like to include in my video with the crumpled peice of paper.

The childishness between the protagonist is also similar to what I want with my older couple.




Regina Spector - Us

This music video is animated throughout. It is animated to the quick piano  beat. I want to add jump cuts into my video to make it look slightly old. The colours are slightly dull which I think makes the video a bit more deep,making you listen to the lyrics more. I want my video to reflect the major tones of the song so I want it more colourful.

I also like Regina's red lipstick as it makes her lips stand out when she is singing the lyrics.

Digipak First Rough Plan

Here is a rough plan for my digipak
I want my digipak to relate to my music video. In order to do this I have decided to make it quite childish. The fridge magnets link to the fridge magnets my young boy will use in the music video to spell out the words "BEST FRIENDS FOREVER". The sweets will also relate to the sweets the teenage boy will give to the teenage girl. I love the idea of creating things then taking pictures rather than actually doing them on the computer. For example on the cd I want to have sweets, like Haribo love hearts, black liquorice for the birds and magic stars! This also makes my digipak very colourful, reflecting the happy song.
