Music Video ideas

From looking at current music videos from Eminem to Taylor swift, we have gained inspiration for our own music video. The general shots used are more close ups than long shots, due to the lip singing. They tend to do more low angle shots on the male music video's to make them appear bigger on screen. There was some unusal shots used in certain videos. Christina using mainly long shots of her dancing in a boxing ring. To Kanye west where the main shots are mid shots, showing both artists on screen.
From looking at all the current music videos, you also get a taste for the outfits. most of the girls tend to be wearing tight or short clothing, with the exception of Taylor swift. where as the males tend to be wearing more Formal things such as suits or polo t-shirts. This has given us ideas for the types of outfits we will be getting our protagonist wear.

We especially liked this shot underneath, becuase it showed there facial expression, both the side on and front on close up. And we plan to use them in our music video.
This low angle shot, we too like becuase it gets the whole body in and shows the face, and facial expressions, plus it gets in the back ground which could help with the mis-en-scene
This straight on shot, where she is crouched to fit into the shot, we too like and will try to include withing our music video. The background stood out and fitted the shot. Lady gaga is known for her outragous music videos. so we watched a couple of hers to gain inspiration, becuase she uses unusaul shots that you might not see in other music videos.
