The document compares several music videos and songs that could provide inspiration for a new music video, including Ed Sheeran's "A Team" and Arctic Monkeys' "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?". Both of these reference loneliness and have a female character as a main focus, showing similarities to the themes in "Crystal Whites". The document also notes that an effective music video tells a story that has a direct connection to the song's lyrics.
1. Comparisons
Ed Sheeran ‘A team’ –
similar theme of loneliness as
shown from the female
character in this video, despite it
being a different genre of music.
However like the song ‘Why'd
You Only Call Me When You're
High?’ which is the same genre
of music as the crystal whites it
has a female character being a
main focus which indicates to
use that if we want to make our
music video look realist this
might be something which we
include.
- Music video and lyrics have a
direct link (story)
2. Comparisons
• Arctic monkeys ‘Why'd You Only
Call Me When You're High?’ –
• The video shows the lead singer of
the band – Alex Turner walking alone
while supposedly receiving
messages from a distant lover. This
has influenced our pattern of thinking
for the video as both this and the
crystal whites track have similar
themes.
• - theme of female being a main focus
• Furthermore music video and lyrics
also have a direct link.
