Other videos - influence for character

Demi Lovato - Skyscraper 

I looked at other current videos that also have a similar tone/mood like the downbeat tone of the song I am using for my own video I looked at the way these videos used the artists expressions and extreme close ups as well as long shots.

One video in particular that has inspired my ideas is Demi Lovato's 'Skyscraper' video, which as the images show, uses long shots, to show the artist walking, and reflecting- to fit with the mood of the song, which is an idea I included in my storyboard. I like the way the costume and setting of the video are using light colours which conotate a peacefulness/innocence that the song promotes aswell. In addition to this, i also like the caemra angles used in the video, the use of the high angle long shots that work well to convey a vulnerability,which is one aspect of the video i will take inspiration from for my own video. The pace of song, including the movements of the performer being slow, and the use of several shots of the performer walking as a way of conveying the performing is reflecting on something, in a similar way to Adele's - Someone Like You video, are other aspects of this video that i will take inspiration from.
