Below are some screen shots from the music videos for…Brighter than the sun- Colbie CaillatPut your records on- Corinne Bailey RaeUnder the sun- Cheryl Cole

I have studied the music videos throughout the process of my production work and there are certain similarities in shot types between them. I used and developed conventional settings such as using a car or flowers in the shots and worked them into the video narrative. The music videos are all extremely successful and so I was inspired to use some of the ideas but use them creatively in my own video. I have developed from the shots in the music videos because I used different camera angles and shots, for example with the bike I used an extreme long shot to fit in the setting around her instead of an extreme close up on the bike. I wanted to portray natural settings in my video such as flowers and trees and the sunshine in the camera effect and so I think I was inspired by these videos because they also have this feel about them.
