Influences of Music Video

One of the main inspirations we got for our idea for the music video is from James Camreons blockbuster movie 'Titanic', when Jack paints Rose. This is the first instant where they meet eye to eye and when their love flourishes. This is what we want our video to be like and the same affection to be met. This scene is iconic because of one of the quotes in the scene "Jack, I want you to draw me like one of your French Girls"




The reason we found inspiration in this video is because the target audience is similar. Both our music video and 'Titanic' are centred around love, and similarly, to different extents tragedy. We thought if we had a similar aspect in our video to 'Titanic' the audience will relate and notice as it is so well known and popular. Having such a well recognised film inter textually linked with our video means we will have all different types of audiences watching, not just our specific target audience, teenagers.


Another Influence for our music video is from the movie '500 days of Summer'. This movie is based around a character who has fallen in love with a girl. As the audience member we see how their relationship progresses over 500 days. This relates to our video as we wanted to see how a relationship would start and the progression of what happends after they meet.




An additional piece that is an influence of our Painting Scene is from the movie 'Girl with a Pearl Earring'. In this movie it surrounds the making of the famous painting. We wanted to follow the same guidelines of this painting scene to make it look as effective as possible. Also the viewer may identify the intertextual moments that we have placed into the video.



And lastly a music video that influenced our idea is Taylor Swift's 'Blank Space'. One scene contains Taylor painting her on-screen partner, we wanted to use elements from this video since the artist is young and would also appeal to our target audience, the artist is also in the same genre as our artist, and the video has only been released recently and has subsequently racked up over 90 million views in less than 3 weeks and so the viewer can easily see the similarities.
