Inspirational music videos

Beyonce- Halo



I find this music video inspirational because i like the wide range of close up shots that work well with the sub story of love.

The close ups underline the fact how happy and 'close' they are together. Also, the fact that Beyonce is not wearing any make-up in this, emphasizes the purity of their love and the lighting makes her look bright and fresh.
The camera is not steady in this part of the video too. This makes us think of a young couple videoing each other just for fun/ memories so again, we can see how happy they are.


Coldplay ft. Rhianna- princess of China

This si something a bit different to the Beyonce's music video. In this, we can already lots of bright colours- a bit like the colours that can be found on Chinese costumes. I find this inspirational because it illustrates the title of the song, with an old fashion look (the writing) which tells the audience already that this song is based on the verge of tradition, fashion and dreams.

Everything is spot on the theme of China, which is effective but the contrast in this that we can see is the man- he stands out because he is wearing normal, modern clothes and we can tell that he is not from China. This could imply that the modern man with no tradition at all is coming for Rihanna- the beautifull Chinese Princess. I find this inspirational because the sub story illustrates everything, but describes the fairy tale love story between two people from different traditions.

 

 

Katy Perry- Roar

 



 I find this song really inspirational because it reminds me a lot of our preliminary task. I like the fact that it looks fun- nothing serious and again, it illustrates the lyrics and the title of the song- "roar".

This is an extremely clever way of going to the 'real' world from the fairy tale world- and we will try ro use something like this on our prelim.
