Shots that have influenced my own production

Shots from other music videos that have influenced my own production.

These shots from Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons really influenced my production, I like how rural the place is that they are performing in, it kind of seems as though they are playing in an empty theater as a wish that people were there. The lighting within it is something that I really love, I love how dark it is, but how warm the bulb fairy lights make it seem, it’s very welcoming and is something that I would enjoy to see within my own production.

For my own production, I wanted it outdoors on a field with a large fire and fairy lights and people running around, and then my friend told me about a video that was just like my idea and I saw it and the shots that were within it are the shots I had envisioned in my head, the lighting within the video is just incredible and has such a warm delicate feel to it, it is something that I will hopefully bring out within my own piece.

These shots are from the song I actually am doing, Kings of Leon’s Back Down South, I felt that this idea of having people escaping their houses as it were to come to this place would be cool, in the video they only have 2 girls that do it, in my video there will be a lot more, but I felt that this helped create a better story line to my piece.

I liked the shot from Macklemore’s Same Love of the dropping of petals, I thought the shot was effective and looked cool in slow motion, which is something I am hoping to use but with leaves as people are running through the woods. The other clip of the song with the sparklers is something else I really liked as I felt it gave another cool lighting effect but also gave a sense of togetherness which would be useful within the song.
