Inspiration For the Music Video

FourFiveSeconds - Rihanna, Kanye West, Paul Mccartney

For the music video, my group and I were inspired by these three music video. We were inspired by their camera angles, scenery, genre and style. The video has really helped us see what we could add and develop when filming our video and also it has made us see what level our filming and editing skills will need to be in order for our videos to be a success.

The video is by Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul Mccartney ' FourFiveSecond'. This song was released in 2015. The genre is Pop and soul Pop. The whole video is shot in black and white, I think it shows more of the simplistic side of the song, I think that if it was in colour it would not be powerful as it is now.

In the video the it uses the effect of shadowing which is something that we intended on using in our video (silhouette). This scene is shown below.This scene is in the beginning of the song when she says, " I think I've had enough, might get a little drunk".

This is a medium close up, they used this scene for at least 20 seconds at the beginning of the video.They use the same effect a lot in the video, they tend to change the camera angles of this effect, this beside is the same effect in a different part of the song in which it is the chorus. When she says, " And we got three more days till friday".

My group and I were inspired by this due to the similar effect of the silhouette and also the change in camera angles and shots for when we will start editing.
