Rhianna's and Calvin Harris' new music video has the same elements of shots and styles that we've been wanting to create. Throughout the planning and shooting we may refer to this video for inspirational help. Although it's a different genre the video captures a working class love which we would like to involve, with many shots that we had imagined within our own video, with the same sort of narrative showing the good and bad shots of the relationship especially similar with the fast pace cuts and images. They have used similar colour ideas within every shot that we will apply to our video once on the computer.
The different shots that look effective and similar to what our video should incoporate;
The shot of both female and male in the bath fully clothes, we came up with this idea anyway but the way they've framed it looks nice. To adapt it to our own video we will frame the shot similar but have the male by himself, fully dressed in the bath.
This shot is based outside like our idea but they nstead have a firework in the background, if this is possible to do we will do something similar but if not we will work alone with the sparkler idea. It's well framed and I hope that with this as inspiration that we could do something similar.
Seeing this shot we thought it was quite clever, as it's known that dialted pupils reveal an attraction for another person. Putting this within our own video would mean that in a 'happy flashback' we would get a face shot and then zoom in to reveal a dialted shot of the pupil. It'd just add a little extra detail and make the video that bit more experimental.
This is Rihana's version of the party scene we have in mind, I like the high angle framing and the sqaushed party theme. With the main characters squashed into the centre of the image, we will try and capture this within our party scene.
Here is a short shot of Calvin Harris who creates the music behind the singing, like the Crystal Castles in our music video, so we have decided that we could get two people to dress up like the male and female in Crystal Castles and be in a short clip or two like Calvin. To address thier apperance within the music, this would work well with the idea of the band anyway as they like to be mysterious and illusive towards their fans anyway.
This shot is quite clever and 'romantic' in a new working class style, so to create the same scene with our characters would be appealing to the target audience.
This was one main shot idea for our leading guy to make himself go under the water, as it looks eerie and different, which is what we want to make the audience feel at points whilst watching as it links well with the target audience. It conveys his emotions perfectly and thus the music video isn't as tedious as it also creates a shock factor.
This shot we will create but to make it our own they will have a flour fight in a kitchen instead of a fizzy drinks fight in a super market. We thought that the flour idea would work well as it will go in the air infront of the camera and puff up and look quirky and it's a more likely circumstance for the working class people baking a cake.
This scene takes place in a feild but with wheat which is yellow, we have got a location that has a green with grass and flowers which we believe will work just aswell as it appears to be quite magical.
I liked this shot of them having fun with the simple prop of the shopping trolley, if we could create something similar then it would just add to the 'new romance' of the modern generation and how we observe fun and loving moments to consist of. We will ofcourse make it our own somehow maybe vary the angles and shots but the idea will be used.
This shot involves the use of sparklers which are a key element within our video but they spell out a word with the use of it, if it's possible for us to do something similar then we will try and create that, but if it's just not possible we will still use sparklers and hopefully capture a shot that will work well for our music video.
Overall the music video is surprisingly helpful and we will refer to it if some inspiration is needed.
