After watching a few of the top 100 greatest music videos I came up with a few basic idea which would contribute to the making of my music video.
Duan Duan were one of the first bands to create a music video that based it self around wealth and high lifestyles. Because my video is based around romantic acoustic guitar music I feel that this kind of theme is out of the question.
After watching Bjork, All is Love (directed by Cris Cunningham) I saw the extent to which music directors go to in order to create visual master pieces. Despite the fact that I do not wish to use any special effects I would like to exert this kind of motivation when it comes to making my music video.
Basement Jaxx-Wheres your head at? gave me some insight into why people create some music videos in a groteque manner. Some videos take a direct jab at certain subjects, in this case the music industry where they use a mental asylum full of mad scientists and monkeys to represent the directors and the producers. the video itself was quite wacky yet actually entertained me. Such video effects for me would be possible yet the theme and genre could possibly be put into my own video.
The use of back and white in music videos were mainly used to represent the film of the 1940s. After assessing this idea I came to the conclusion that perhaps black and white would not suit the theme of my music video.
Frankie goes to Hollywood-Two Tribes was perhaps the first music video that came with a political representation and message. The fight in the ring between Reegan and Gorbechev gave many viewers a reason to see the ending, as many would have grown up in this political conflict.
It has been suggested that for more information I should research Cris Cunningham and Jon Arkanand as they the more sought after music directors.
