Inspiration

Our video is from the alternative rock genre, so when searching for inspiration we looked through videos from bands like Coldplay and Oasis. We also looked at some other shots that have stuck in our heads when we have seen the videos before, here is what we found...

This shot comes from the video 'Love Kicks' by Example, this type of shot is used throughout. The reason I like these shots because they allow you to show four events in one shot. Which is more effective than showing four different cuts very quickly.

This where we got the inspiration for the tunnel idea that we are going to use, its from Coldplay's video 'Fix You'. This was filmed near The Reebok Stadium in Bolton. Our tunnel will be Leake Street, and this is where the chorus of our video will be shot.

This is the establishing shot from Coldplays Every teardrop is a waterfall. This shot sets the scene and the time of day. This gives the audience clarity at the start of the video. In our video we are going to establish the scene by showing an empty shot of Leake Street. This will then be used as a base to film the rest of our video and we will cut to it during the chorus.

This is a shot of Noel Gallagher who is the artist of our song busking, this gave us the idea to have our character in an underpass busking. Although Noel is in a doorway we feel that this shot would be just as effective in Leake Street.
