Inspirations and Influences

Whilst Will and I watched a previous music video the students had used time lapse very effectively to show how many people walked through a city street. We thought that we could try and use this effectively by putting it on the dash board of my car to show the whole journey in a short time for the effect. This would show the audience how we changed during the 'Day n Nite'.

Will and I watched a music video by a rapper in the hip-hop community who enjoyed putting his cars in the shots of the video, he done this very effectively by using a low angle shot in order to show the car close up and to show it as powerful. The car shot is effective for the audience as the car is the only thing in the shot, Will and I have decided to use this shot as my car is going to be the main point to the video.

Another influence that we have had is the actual video for Kid Cudi's 'Day n Nite' this is the setting of arcades and colorful places at night as this is very vibrant and effective at catching the viewers eye. The music video is very in-+teresting and Will and I enjoy watching it due to the different animations and special effects however we cannot do that in our video due to the fact that we do not have the skills or equipment needed, consequently we have used his settings in the video and also the colors as they are very effective.
