Music Video inspiration

What hurts the most - Rascal Flatts

This video shows the story of a relationship. it shows flash backs of the memories that the boy and the girl shared together. You can tell that they are flashbacks because the contrast is a little higher and the camera angle for the flashbacks seems to be different to the present story. i think we could use this idea for our flashbacks to make it obvious it is from the past and not part of the present story.

This music video uses a twist like ours of someone dieing at the end however this story is told from the girls perspective. I think that using some acting in the middle of the video works well as it helps the viewer realize what the story is about.

This video shows a boy and a girl, it shows their relationship as memories and then in the present the boy dies in a car accident. I feel that this video is good, but could be improved as there are some parts that look old fashioned and cheap.

The main thing that I liked about this video was how it showed the difference between past and present tense. Last year I experience some difficulties when editing my Thriller project, as we used a lot of cutting between present tense and flash backs the audience got very confused about what was actually happened, to resolve that we changed the past to be black and white. In this music video the present tense is almost normal but slightly brighter, the past has a very high contrast and it looks a lot darker and more distorted than the present, there is an obvious difference here between what the girl remembers and what she actually has. I feel that it would be good to be able to do that in our video to show the difference between what is actually happening and what the boy is looking back on once he has killed girl 1.
