Influences for planning and design choices - similar music videos

The influences tor the music video during the planning process were a wide variety of different things from other music videos to art pieces and even listening to others songs that enthused us in a particular way. Most directly was the music video for ‘Don’t give up the fight’ by Racoon which we took the opening scene and applied to our song. If you compare both videos you can clearly see the natural forest area in which we filmed – the same as in the music video. And also you can notice the panning upwards that we also took, the only thing that is different is the lighting of the shot, in our one the contrast in colours is more prominent because of the setting sun which creates silhouettes of the trees and leaves.  We also looked at ‘Skinny Love’ by Birdy. The general lonely atmosphere of the video is what we wanted to capture, we tackled this by using a muted colour pallet. Moreover in both videos that we looked at there was a correlation with mature and forests. Other things like the sound of birds first thing in the morning inspired me to use light and dark in our work to replicate the rising sun when the birds sing.
