The introduction for 'Taio Cruz - I Just Wanna Know' is very influential for our music video. It sets the scene for the rest of the video and also it shows the two main characters that will be involved in the video. We think an introduction similar to this will work very will with our video and appeal to our target audience because it is from an R&B genre and setting the scene is very important for the introduction. The mise-en-scene in this video would suit our video very well because we are going for a very sophisticated atmosphere.
It is apparent to the audience that the music video is in a narrative form, as a story is being told through the lyrics and actions. This is what we intend to do with our video, and this is usually the main part of slow R&B music videos. We believe that this will be appealing to our target audience because narrative's are used in R&B videos and that is our main genre.
In the music video you can see that there are some performance aspects where the artist is singing along with the song without any part of the narrative being shown. A similar aspect to this will be used in our music video. We think that this will be appealing to our target audience because although using a narrative is the main aspect of R&B videos there are also performance aspects which make the video much more appealing to the audience.
In the music video for 'Drake - Over' there are many visual effects that are used throughout. One of the effects that we particularly like is when he is standing and you can see people going passed him very fast, which gives the audience an idea that the main is alone. This will be appealing to the audience because in our song the man is singing about his relationship being over, so a similar style to this will emphasise this for the audience to see, so the effects tell a story, along with the narrative. Some of the props used in this video could be useful to us, such as the man sitting alone on the bed, because it emphasises him being alone.
In the music video for 'Enrique Iglesias Ft Ciara - Takin' Back My Love' we can see that he and his partner are fighting and that they are having some problems in their relationship. The main part of this video that we find influential is when the couple are arguing and the man's partner walks away from him. We would like to use the aspect of an argument in our music video because the man is singing about his relationship being over, so this will emphasise the situation for the man.
This part of the mise-en-scene is very important to our music video. We can see the man throwing around objects which shows his frustration toward the changing of his relationship. We will find this very useful in our music video because it brings forward our two aspects of visual effects and also having a narrative. This will emphasise both aspects for the audience which we think will be effective because they get a feeling of how the man is currently feeling.
