Inspiration for a music video



Iv took inspiration from the editing style of this video as it presents an innovation cutting and editing technique. The combined fast cut still's aid in emphasis to the glamours aesthetic of the the song and the narrative portrayed in the video, additionally the black and white contrast images juxtapose the synchronous of the video, which show the character close and extreme close up in a 'paparazzi' style shot highlights the celebrity , fame obsessed and materialistic ideals echoed in the song. I think this fast tempo method of editing still images which convey the narrative in the lyrics would be effective in my final video as is a unique way of drawing the audience into the story line expressed in the song, as well as corresponding creatively with the beat of the music.

Further more the 360 degree camera shot at the start of the video gives the shot a serial feeling, which may symbolise what one feeling like when at the high of fame, or in the 'flashing lights' conveyed in the chorus. I think this method of using alternative aspects of the video - such a a camera movement- to convey the ideologies is also inspiring.
