Music Videos that Inspire Me




Dj Fresh ft Rita Ora – Hot Right Now

I adore this video purely down to the high energy and feel good vibes. There are lots of different tricky camera shots that are really interesting and really expose the talent in the video. I Love the vibrant colours and the funky urban style the people in the video have. I also really like the fact that they use really common locations that have been stylised and made really edgy and fun. There is a very good sense of fun and excitement in this video that really captures the spirits of the actors which passes onto the audience. 




Nicki Minaj - Pound the Alarm

This video really shows the high energy and carnival atmosphere with its vibrant colours and flamboyant and outrageous costumes. Also the weather in this video makes it seem luxurious and fits in with the gratification of escapism and luxury. What I also love about this video is the fact there are so many people involved in this video including creating it. It has such a large number of cast that it makes it seem like everyone is involved and really shows the community and co-operation. My favourite part is when the confetti explosions blow and it really shows the excitement and party. 




Dj Fresh – Gold Dust

This video inspires me because it shows the community spirit in more lower class locations. It features lots of young people coming together showing skill and ambition in a hobby that they were exposed to since they were small. This really shows passion and dedication. The passion is shown when the whole community gets together to celebrate and it makes the audience feel as if anything is possible and that there is good in all places. Rope jumping harmonises with the quick pace of the song and compliments the vibes. 







Florence + The Machine – Spectrum

This video really inspires me because of the combination of classical ballet, powerful rhythm and futuristic stage feel. The staging and lighting of this video really shouts power at the audience and creates a mysterious and fantasizing atmosphere. I also like the fact she features ballerinas in the video as it connotes strength in elegance and beauty. Florence herself really makes a stand in the video with her beautiful cut dresses that illuminate in contrast to the staging and edgy cut red hair. This is a performance based video that really catches my eye. 

Research Into a Music Director

Music Video Director

As I will be going into directing my own music video, researching about a music video director was a good idea as it showed me the different techniques and inspirations a director may have. I chose a director that directed one of my own favourite music video that suited into my genre. This gave me a critical insight on music directors and their intentions.
