Our Director Inspiration
Douglas Hart is a director whose music videos have inspired us to try and recreate something similar to his. He bases his work within the indie music genre by creating music videos for artist such as The Courteenrs, The Vaccines, The Horrors etc... Our group have decided that after looking through videos by Douglas Hart, that they are the most realistic for us to make and the ones that suit our chosen genre and song the best, some examples are:
The Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now
This isn't identical to what we want to do, however there are many ideas that we want to try and add in to our video with the live clips off and the lighting on the band. Douglas Hart has tried to show the band together but also add in moments of it focusing on the lead singer/s by using a close up on the lead singers and often using a low angle shot of them looking into the audience.
Although our focus is on the band and showing them singing with their instruments, we also feel as though we can show some sort of performance that will relate to our chosen audience (indie scenesters) and including scenes that relates to them and their experiences so that it will appeal directly to them. For example in Palma Violets' videos for 'We Found Love' they do exactly this which makes it interesting for the viewers.
