References And Inspiration For Music Video.

Skip The Foreplay - Hangover.

For my music video I plan to use a dark room and make it a performance. To bring life to the performance I want to use sharp and bright lighting flashing against the band. I also have idea's to use block colour backgrounds and have the band silhouetting in the front of the colour background. As well as these ideas I have another idea of using footage where they are setting up for the performance but rewinding it so that it looks like they're breaking down the setting, this would be placed at the end of the video as the song thins out and fades to make it look more like the end of the performance with the ending of the song, this will give it a feel of nothing happened here like the setting wasn't wrecked or even played in.

For my inspiration and references for this idea I have the Foo Fighters - All My Life, in the video bellow it shows how the lighting I want with the block colour background as well as this it shows some of the lighting effect that I want in the form of spotlighting and close ups.

My inspiration for the setting up and walking in scene is from the music video for Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer. This would fit in well with what I want to achieve however Bon Jovi put it at the beginning of the video and I want to change it slightly by rewinding it and putting it at the ending of my video. 



Another inspirational video for the backwards theme I have is Coldplay - The Scientist, in this video it really shows how I want to put my rewinding at the end to show nothing happened as with this he rewinds right to the beginning before they drove off the cliff and makes it look like it didn't happen, this is the same effect that I want to give to my audience, however with less emotion and more of a mystery of oh yea that never happened.
