Girls - Lust For Life
These shots from the Girls' video for 'Lust For Life' show a girl, silhouetted by the sunset. We feel that shits like this will give our videos a dreamy and summery feel, like the similar shots from the M83 video.
However, this split-screen effect is to hectic for our tastes, and if we were to use a split screen it would be limited to two shots, to show contrast and similarity between the two characters.Black Lips - Drugs
This video for 'Drugs' by Black Lips uses vintage-looking footage to illustrate the hallucinogenic and mind-altering effects of drugs. We will try and replicate some of the shots, particularly the first one, but possibly with leaves or sand instead of pills.
Warpaint - Stars
This naturalistic video includes slow-motion shots, underwater shots, superimposition, surreal light effects and natural settings. We will try and emulate some of these properties in our video, as we feel they go well with the genre. The shots with a projector are also effective and we may use this technique.
Lana Del Rey - Video Games/Blue Jeans
These videos by Lana Del Rey are almost like a compilation of vintage Super8 footage, clips of popular influences like Snoop Dogg and Paz de la Huerta, skateboarding videos, home movies, neon lights, panoramas and finished off with shitty clips of her singing into a webcam. We like the overall effect that the videos create, but the cheesy and unprofessional performance combined with inconsistant editing gets a big thumbs down from us.
M83 - We own the Sky
This use of light and focus in this video give it a dreamy summer feel which we think will work well in our video. A shot similar to the one of the corn field above will link in well with our theme, as will the running through the field shot, however we will be filming bare feet running through a field and additionally through the surf on a beach.
