Me and Kirsty have been looking at ideas on how to make our video stylish, current and artistic as well as tell some kind of story or message. For inspiration we began looking at video's on Vimeo and we came across this video of a girl dancing. Lots of current 'chart' music video's have dancing in them (although not quite like the dancing in this video!) but dance is also a great way to express emotion and tell a story. We really liked the idea of having someone dancing in our video, maybe not having the whole video of just someone dancing but breaking it up with other things. Here is the video we found which inspired us:
Obviously, we may not be able to create this professional standard of dancing however it helped us begin thinking of other ways we could make our music video look and different ways to tell a story then by a basic narrative which may not come across.
Last year when creating Science Boys we had to re-shoot because our idea was strong enough so to show we have progressed hopefully this year and this project we will have done enough research and investigation to come up with a clear & strong idea so we are fully prepared.
Power of Dance
Personally, I have a real passion for dance because you can tell a story without words and make some beautiful shapes and lines. We don't know any professional dancers that may be able to help us with our music video but we may still be able to find a way to include dance in some way. Although previous Lana Del Rey videos don't have dance routines in them (many of the videos we've looked at don't), we don't just want to create a low-budget version of one of her previous videos. A captivating piece of dance can be very memorable and this may encourage audiences to view the video again, which all makes money for the artist which is what a music video is all about. It also might open Lana Del Rey's music up to a wider audience as it is great contemporary dance music but may be undiscovered as this hasn't been expanded on before in her videos.
