Music Video Inspirations

I have taken inspiration for the studio-style shots from the video 'Whatever Doesn't Kill Me' by Finger Eleven, among other videos such as 'Technicolour Trainwreck' by Speaking In Shadows.
I have decided to take inspiration from this video in particular as it is exclusively studio, and my video itself will have a heavy studio focus. The use of alternate lighting also an idea I have decided to adapt through the use of torches.



I also took inspiration from 'Tell Me I'm A Wreck' by Every Avenue and other videos of this variety (such as 'Dirty Little Secret' by All-American Rejects) who imbue the use of text confessions to convey the thoughts of the people featured in the video. I have manipulated the idea into the use of white shirts with the individual's lie(s) written on it, which will match with chorus ('Take off your clothes...').


Another inspiration came from the video 'Big Yellow Taxi' by Counting Crows, which focus on a broad spectrum of people with a large moral message, which I believe my song choice conveys. This video runs with a specific theme that affects a large amount of people, which I am going to attempt to emulate.
