This is the orginal video to my chosen song. This music video is more about the artist than the lyrics. She shows herself singing the song aswell as her been shown along side scenery. This is a conventional thing to do due to the genre of the song which is Folktronica. As my music video with be completely orginal it will be different to this one however some elements of this video such as the choice of clothing the artist is wearing and the different shots used would maybe work with mine also. I like the way the artist appears against a white background when miming the lyrics I think it represents her in a way that the audience will get. By this I mean it shows just her singing getting straight to the point nothing else is needed. The ideology behind it shows her as a dominant female expressing her feelings towards something even though the lyrics dont put her in a dominant position stereotypically the male is yet only a female ,being the artist, appears in this video. This may be down to the fact she wants to represent her character as the strong one. In my music video my interpretation of the lyrics will be more straight forward following the narrative and making it fairly obvious to the audience. Showing the story visually makes the them understand what the song is about, this is similar to the music video by Colbie Caillat 'Realize'.
These photos are of Ellie Goulding and inspire the look for my video. These photographs show her in a scenery image, aginst a neutral coloured background and one more casual photo. These are all elements I will include in mine. I think this sort of look represents the genre and goes with the issue of the lyrics. It shows the type of artist also. I want my video to look casual, meaningful as well as telling the story.
