The Main Influences of Stromae
1.
2. For this shot we initially was going to have an
extreme close-up of my eyes and then zoom out
to reveal me frozen and seated next to the
mannequin. However, when shooting the extreme
close-up we found it looked better if I held the
camera towards my own face when trying to
obtain the extreme close-up of my eyes. So in
editing we changed it to a Super Imposition shot
of my eyes going left and right and me smiling
seated outside. We also added a tea cup as a
prop in this shot as it would make the shot look
more surreal than just sitting their smiling with
my legs crossed. This choice of prop was also
influenced by the Mad hatter in Alice in
Wonderland.
I am frozen at the start to mirror Stromae in
his Papoutai music video, and we have the
mannequin sitting next to me to add more
surrealism to the shot once we’ve completely
zoomed out, which was also an idea that came
about after watching Stromae’s Papoutai.
3. These are extra frozen shots we added
to our music video after being influenced
by Stromae’s music video. We have
extreme close-ups of my eyes looking
left and right whilst I’m frozen and then
cutting to a zoom out shot of me holding
a spoon to the bowl of Lego which is an
original surreal object/prop/image we
created and the famous melted clock on
the left hand side of the table.
4. In Stromae’s music video there are some shots at the beginning including TV snow on a
television screen and the mannequin of Stromae is seated on the sofa but is not looking
at the television, and even if he was the young boy in the video blocks what would have
been his view of the television (as seen in the picture on the bottom left hand side.) So
we thought we’d have a shot of TV snow between the shot of me sitting down on the
sofa to change the channel and the cat seated with the mannequin. We wanted to add
these two different shots to show movement of the mannequin by changing her position
but needed a shot between to show time has passed. Also instead of just having TV snow
we chose to have me watch a shot of the cat in Alice in Wonderland disappearing in
quite a surreal way, as we aren’t trying to copy Stromae’s video, we have just been
inspired by it and our main focus is Surrealism.
5. In Stromae’s music video the mannequin does a lot of naturalistic things despite being a
mannequin. Such as having a shower and holding a water hose to water the plants in the
garden. This influenced our ideas of what we’d use the mannequin for in our music video ,
such as having the mannequin crying whilst lying down in bed and holding a spoon in her
hand at a dining table with a bowl and cup of drink in front of her as though she’s human.
Overall Stromae’s creative ideas and camera shots throughout his music video really
helped us develop the surrealism in our music video.
