Class Presentation - Music Video Influences

When looking at professional music videos we took inspiration from certain ones, either in the way it is presented (abstract/simple or surrealist/realist) or the cinematography and how it presented the artist.


One of the videos that we took inspiration from was The Foo Fighters' "The Pretender" by Sam Brown. The way he uses cinematography is interesting and something we want to try to integrate into our music video, with a heavy use of panning, zoom and tracking shots. He also focuses heavily on the artist and edits on the beat to create an interesting yet simple music video.

Another music video we saw that we thought was a good place to draw inspiration from was The White Lies' music video for "Death" which uses interesting cinematography to create a unique and interesting look for the video.
