Music video research

So before I decide my style and song I want for my music video we have watched a few music videos in class to help inspire our own visions.

Postcardfrom 1952
This music video took pictures taken from the '50s and reenacted them adding movement. The slow motion images compliment the music perfectly. I really like the old vintage feel with the '50s mise-en-scene and dress codes, however, setting my music video in a different decade would be very challenging as I wouldnt be able to have anything from todays world in the shots. The way I could over come this is if I was to set my video in a forest or somewhere outside where you wouldnt get any cars.

 Another thing I like about this video is the warm lighting, this is something I may look into when filming my own video.

Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity 
The surrealism in this music video makes it something of a spectacle, the plain set also works well, as you can see that Jamiroquai is the attention.


M.I.A. Bad Girls
I love the costumes in this and the constant movement of the camera. This is a more hip-hop genre where there are many possibilities such as dances.

Metronomy
This is one of my favourites, the lighting is beautiful. I especially want to take inspiration from the editing matching the beat of the moving.
