Inspiration

The inspiration of our music video mainly came from two artists and their videos. The first of these was slipknots psychosocial where masks are very potent and there are many extreme, over editing shots which create a psychadelic atmosphere. This is what we aimed to do as the psychological route is the route we used for our music video and the masks were the key props in the narrative. We edited every shot to make it hallucinagenic as this would make the audience feel uneasy and would add to the quirkyness of the artist profile. Another one of our inspirations came from Michael Jackson's Thriller video where the idea of a strong choreagraphed narrative was key in order to portray the artist in a creepy way. We thought this was effective as it stood out as making the single artist individual and Michael Jackson is known for his success. Using all our inspirations, we believe that we managed to incorporate ideas from both and still managed to make ours original and individual. This added to the profile of our almost horror film style character and this meant that we could build around this strongly.
