Coca-Cola Advert...

When I was recently on youtube an advert for Coca-cola  advert came up just before the video I had clicked on,  the video showed everything from the mans perspective which is exactly like we plan to do for our music video. I particularly liked their idea of having both black and white filter and colour, we could use this in our video to show the two different personalities to the young girl and to symbolise how she's feeling. 

Idea 2...

Another idea we have for our music video was inspired by the video for 'Afterglow' by Wilkinson which we all loved, we liked the idea of having lots of quick fast shots and we especially liked the writing on each shot. In the video (below) it shares the experiences the couple have gone through in the past 5 years, this heavily inspired us for our music video.

We have decided to show all the experiences of two very different teenage girls at the most exciting and interesting parts of their lives. The idea is to have one girl who is not used to going out much and hasn't tried many new things such as drinking, smoking ect. and the other who is used to everything and becomes bored of it all to show the extreme opposites. We wanted the video to reflect the lyrics in the song so we needed to think of a song which would be suitable for our story, we knew we wanted the type of House/Pop music similar to 'Afterglow' however the lyrics in Afterglow did not work with the concept of our video. So after discussing it with our group we came across 'Changing' by Sigma ft. Paloma Faith, this song is exactly what we were looking for, the lyrics say that "everything is changing" which relates to our plot of how the two young girls start to change as they try new things and have new experiences. 

Photography gallery...

I recently visited the Photographers Gallery in London and I came across a few photos which have given me some inspiration for our music video. I instantly loved the black and white effect of the photos below and it is something which I would like to incorporate into our music video. As well as being black and white I was particularly drawn to the middle photo, the close up of the two people hugging conveys a lot of emotion which could be useful for our video.

I also noticed this display which illustrated an illusion. The artist took one photograph and multiplied it many times which creates a pattern from afar but when looking at it close up you can see it is actually one photograph.
