This post is based off of the information shown in the post linked below, please read it first as it is crucial to the understanding of this post, I had intended them both as the same post originally but was advised to make them separate.
Point 12 is asking me to explain how this will inspire me!
This video will inspire me based off of the emotions present in the video, the band shots, and the costumes. The emotions are very important to the plot whilst the band shots and costumes are more to do with Mise-En-Scene and visual aspects of the video instead of the underlying story.
- Our video is about a breakup based off of a cheating partner, so heavy emotional baggage is present during the video, as it will be in ours! Whilst in 21 guns the emotions felt are very equal with the two characters, both of them obviously feeling regret and sadness, our video will instead have only one character feeling sad as the other is cheating on them.
- The band shots are another thing that shall be inspired by this video, the band is all playing in a small ‘garage-band’ aesthetic, this shall be taken into consideration for our video as a lot of pop-punk bands started off as garage-bands or as low budget teenagers rebelling and we want to give off that impression. We will be filming ours in the ATC-huts on campus to get this feeling.
- Costumes involving modern, laid back clothing, not formal. The two protagonists are wearing black true, but I am not looking at the colour and instead the actual clothing they wear, the band and the characters in my video shall from this, take a very laid back and casual clothing feel, to further express the garage-band aesthetic. Thankfully we all have this sorts of clothing on person, so having to buy them or acquire them through external measures isn’t needed.
