Videos that influence us- Adele 'Make You Feel My Love'

·         This music video contains the artist being in one location and we like this because it focuses on the emotive side of the song. We, as a group have decided that we will also we recording in a house, however, we do want to change the location slightly so our artist will be moving around the house- going to different rooms. We will do this because it sets the sense that the house is empty without the male artist and the female artist can feel the loneliness through his things being there. We have also decided that we will be going to Richmond Hill to record the performance side of the song.

·         Another idea that influenced us from this music video is that the artist wear’s her boyfriend’s jumper. I like this idea very much because it shows that the artist is feeling lonely and she is missing him. Also the lyric of our song is ‘I’m still here’- this suggests that the female artist is waiting for him to come back. She wants things to go back to normal and we can examine this through the lyrics of the song.

·         Also idea that I like is when the artist is near the window and the music video ends on an extreme close-up of her face this clearly states her facial expressions on her face.

• I feel the camera movement is very effective, it creates a sense of realism which helps to connect the audience with the song and the emotions in it. This also makes the audience feel a connection with the artist.
• The dark lighting in this video is very effective as it reflects the emotions of the song and the lonliness.
• The shots of the artist being reflected in the video are really interesting and create a great effect, as we want to have a shot of our artist sitting by a window perhaps we could try and incorporate a shot similar to this.

   The location helps set up the mood of the music video as she is alone in an apartment thats in a loud city. This suggests to the audience that she is isolating herself. By having this location it also helps focus on the artist only and the emotions she is feeling.

The dark lighting also represents the mood she is in, which i think is lonliness and sadness as the only bright light that is used is for being able to see the artist as she sings.

I think overall this music video is effective as its so simple. This music video is effective as the use of many close ups helps us the audience focus on the artist and the lyrics she is singing. 

As its emotional song, the music video helps give that message across because of the dark lighting and close ups.
