Main Influence

Jess Glynne - Take Me Home

Ideas I Would Like To Use/Develop:

- Natural look

- Minimal make-up

- Minimal colours

- Eye line match

- Lip-syncing

- Long clips of performer singing directly towards the camera

- Passion within the performance

- Use of jump cuts

- Use of medium close-ups

Compared To My 1st Draft/Mock Exam:

During the making of my music video I watched Jess Glynne's music video, Take Me Home. From this I took inspiration for my own music video and the images below show how I used similar shots to Glynne's music video.

Image 1:

Both performers are showing their passion through the use of facial and body expressions. As this shot is a medium close up the arms help to show the emotions and passion of the performer. I think this is an effective way to show the audience the passion in which the performer is trying to convey.

Image 2:

These images show a close up with the performers both making a direct connection with the audience. Both performers are lip-syncing and appear with very minimal make-up on. In my opinion the natural look helps to create a realistic connection with audience. The performers look directly into the camera and a close up helps to emphasise this is as it makes the performers face, especially their eyes, connect with the audience.

Image 3:

These images show a change in the narrative and colour tones. In my music video I choose a B/W colour change to show my performer being weak and withdrawn from the rest of the narrative. In Jess Glynne's video , she uses darker lighting to show a change in the narrative. I think both these shots are very useful as they show refection shots away from the narrative.

Image 4:

These images show a medium close up. Both of the performer display the narrative through the use of lip-syncing. I like this shot because it shows the full face and neck of the performer as well as some of the background. Emotions are also very good to show via facial and hand movements because the camera can focus on these specific movements.
