Research: Inspiration for Establishing Shots 5

This is the establishing shot to the music video for Justin Bieber's song 'What Do You Mean', it is a long shot, The genre of this song is pop and the length is 3:26. This shot is not very typical of a pop music video as the lighting is gloomy and would be more associated with that of a rock video. However I like the idea of having the creator of the video featured as an opening sequence and inspires me to include an opening sequence in my music video which would include both my partner and my own name.

The establishing shot for the song from The Killers 'Mr Brightside' is a long shot featuring the whole band on a beautiful set design. The genre of the song is alternative rock sand the costume and set design suit this perfectly the deep colours and use of red give amazing conventions of a rock genre. This set design would be impossible for my partner and I to produce however this inspires me to become creative and think of things I could use to create a scene without having to spend lots of money as we have to work on a tight budget.

This establishing shot from the Blink-182 music video 'Up All Night' is a long shot which features a boy on a bike but the interesting part are his surrounding. There appears to be houses, which implies a rather built up area however there is also a great deal of destroyed property near by him. The genre of this song is punk rock and that is clearly represented in this establishing shot with the use of the lighting being gloomy and destroyed property. This establishing shot inspires me to use the area around me to film parts of my video and that a fancy set is not alway necessary.

Ellie Goulding's music video for 'Your Song' features a close up, right of frame shot of the artist with the background passing as though she is moving fast e.g she is on a train. This song is a pop and this establishing shot is also very fitting with the pop genre as it is very light and colour. As this is the establishing shot for the artist I am actually using it gives me several ideas for an establishing shot such as having my star image as a close up initially.

How This Research Has influenced my Creativity.

This has inspired me as it has made me realise I do not necessarily have to include my star image in the establishing shot, however as I am promoting my star image I will include them in the establishing shot.
