Further inspiration

Ghost Town has a similar theme to my video, it has a very negative feel to it, similar to the deep growly voice in my track. I can take some of the costumes, and lighting from this video. I was thinking maybe starting my music video very dark and mysterious then brightening it up when the lively beat begins.

From this video the way the band dance I could take for my music video, to make the scene more lively, which will link it to the genre. 

This costume could also be used in my video. The hat, and black clothes connotes a mystery and instantly makes him seem more evil. I reckon this costume combined with dark lighting would really enhance these views for the start of my music track.

 

The lighting used is interesting, I could maybe use the dark lighting, but just lighting the artists face. I was maybe thinking of doing this for the beginning of the track, or maybe just have a silhouette of the main character to encode intrigue to the audience. 

 

In this video I was thinking of taking the costumes again. They are dressed in smart clothes but combined with the music, they seem more evil than good. 

 

This video combined with the next one uses lighting really effectively. The lighting really emphasises his face, this could be a similar theme at the beginning. 

This video, similar to the last uses lighting very effectively. It also gives me an idea of how to integrate instruments into the music video. I could to maybe isolate a musician if their is a solo part. Or I could maybe have a character who is a musician.

 

This video is very obscure compared to the other videos. It uses stop motion animation, and uses many pictures and images in a unique way to flow with the video. I am more unlikely to use this technique, but it shows not all videos have to link with the song to be effective. 

This is an example of how a modern artist (Will.i.am) has created an old style music video to a modern song. He has integrated both a club beat and an older style in the song. By doing this he has decided to match the sound with the visuals (using Goodwin's Theory). The choreography of the band is really effective and a main aspect to the video. I could maybe have choreography in my music video, but maybe more energetic and random- to match the genre. Further, the female character is also a character I need to integrate into my video.
