Evanescence -My Immortal

The things from this video that we want to use or are inspired by are the long wavy hair, the natural looking make up the white lacy dress, and also the black and white effect. I like the fact that they used a female artist that is actually in the band to be in the video. This video shows how important it is for the emotion to look real and what camera angles and shots can be used to amplify this. Because the song is slow the shots are quite long but the movement of the camera (panning, zooming and handheld-like shots) combat it looking uninteresting and static.

Paramore- Brick by Boring Brick

The things from this video that we want to use or are inspired by are the white lacy dress, the location, the natural looking make up, the fantasy aspect and the camera angles that capture emotion well. This video uses a lot of editing in terms of colour to make it look 'unreal'. We won't be using this effect but it did give us ideas about our what effect we will use, and also the location of a field that is relaxing but a bit scary.

Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts

The things from this video that we want to use or are inspired by are how the camera captures emotion using close ups, the colour and lighting effects, the white lacy dress, the grunge boots and how the story and performance shots intertwine. The fashion that we want to use for our video was heavily based on this video. Also we want to use a similar kind of lighting and colour effect for our video to make it look 'gloomy'. we also want our video to show/tell a story.
