In class we looked at a couple of music videos with elements that we should include within our own video. This includes things like fast-paced editing, a narrative, and everything in our video needing to have a specific purpose for it all to make sense.
Daniel Powter - Bad Day
This music video includes a lot of key elements that we are sure to include when we start filming our music video. We looked at how everything in this video has a sense of purpose and and overwhelming sense of symmetry. The artist is featured quite a lot in this video along with 2 people with different lives who the audience know are going to meet at the very end because they keep accidentally bumping into each other without realizing. I suld say that this particular video is a narrative; it tells a story and can easily refer to the phrase "you've had a bad day".
Rihanna - Shut Up And Drive
Rihanna's music video for Shut Up And Drive contained many female empowerment elements. The idea was for women to be doing a stereotypical man's job (e.g. fixing motor cars) and still being able to give off that "sexy" look whilst doing it. Lots of symbols in the video allowed us as an audience to be able to see what the video was all about. Rihanna walks in wearing leopard print heels which symbolises a certain "fierceness" about her, as well as the black leathered outfits she wears throughout.
