Video Influences

There are many different aspects to a music video that we feel could influenced ours.

Of course the original video has specific conventions we would like to stick to and keep in line with the original genre and style of Paramore. We really like the fairytale aspect of the original and we think we could incorporate this into our own.



We are also taking inspiration from The Killers - Human. They set their video in a desolate place and we think that this would go well with our contrasting storylines.



We also like the loneliness of Natasha Beddingfield's - Soul mate I like all of the meet shots in it but what I like especially is how often you see her sad and lonely looking for what she is singing about. This would be good for the lead actress to watch and take things from.

Shot Count Analysis

The video I have chosen to do is Evanescence – Call me when you’re sober.
In the whole video there are 180 camera shots. A lot of these shots a repeated but this doesn’t make the video boring however. I think this is due to the fact the shots are so fast paced that you don’t always realise. The editor of the video has also done something clever that makes the repetition entertaining. He cuts quickly from story to band a lot and quickly making it seem like he’s not repeating shots but telling a story with two means. There are forty shots in the first minute of the video and a lot of these shots are extreme close-up and close-up of the lead singer Ami-Lee. She is the first person we see in the video, this being aimed towards more of the male audience, as she is an attractive woman. Through the story the man she is singing too is shown in 23 shots, a lot of them two shots or close-up. There are also 49 band shots shown throughout the sequence, the kind of shots range from medium shots all the way up to extreme close-up. The video is about her breaking up with him because he doesn’t appreciate her and a lot of the shots get this message across, apart from the couple of shots she has with the wolves. This doesn’t seem relevant to the story but are beautifully composed shots.
