1. Video Influences
Emeli Sande-My Kind Of Love
This video was our main influence for
music video. Our main narrative came
from this music video which is about
Emeli Sande’s friend being diagnosed
with Illness. Through the music video
we see constant memories of them
when they were little to how they are
now. The narrative links in very much
to ours. Both of our videos link in well
with Goodwin’s theory of there being
a clear relationship between the
visuals and lyrics.
This was also another music video
that influenced us in our research
stages. The narrative of this music
video is quite depressing, as it’s
about someone leaving the person
there with, to be with their real
lover. Most of Sam Smith’s songs
are mostly about personal issues,
he is also part of the singer-
songwriter genre. Therefore it was
important to look at his music
videos.
2. We did use this for our music video in the very beginning stages. We wanted to use the part
where Beyoncé sings in the funfair
to symbolise the past memories of
our artist and her friend when they
were younger. Our audience didn’t
really understand the connection
between the funfair and friends so
we ended up changing this
completely.
