Analysis of 3 Music video's that influenced me

A video that inspired me was J-LO's On The Floor Ft Pitbull-

I particularly liked this video because of the lighting and the editing. The video shows use of loads of different edits. One particular edit i liked that Shannon pointed out in our pitch was this shot below, where you can see the background through J-LO.

I liked the lighting in the film and the colour. The colours were extravagant and the costumes were really bright and out there.


The second video that influenced me was A Thousand Miles By Vanessa Carlton because her whole video is so simple. The whole video is tracking her as she passes several different locations. This film inspired me mainly because of how simple the video was and how many locations she managed to fit it and still it was a really good and effective way of creating a music video.


Starts off in her garage.
Goes onto the quiet street
Close up of Piano
Medium shot of her face
Located on a motorway
Then in the desert
Then on the motorway with a forest surrounding. 
she's got the city in the background suggesting she's getting closer to it.
Then in the city
Then on a Bridge
Then on a beach
The first close up shot to capture the emotion.
Then infront of a building site
Low angle shot of her in the big city.
Then on her way home as its getting dark. 
The beginning of the song becomes the end of the song. She ends up in the same location where she was in the morning, Which was her garage.

My third video to influence me was Give me Everything, as this is the party feel we are going for. Also, because there are certain shots in the video that we want to use in our's.
