Similar genre videos that inspire us

The video above 'Love the way you lie' By Eminem and Rhianna is not a similar genre however it has some great narrative ideas which we are able to adapt on. For example we wanted to have the narrative about this young girl who is in an abusive relationship and we felt this video particularly outlined some great ideas, not showing too much of the abusive side and more of the upset traumatic side the has effected the girl. Due to the video being too explicit i have attached the link as the video will not show on this website. However we do not want to make it too explicit so that a younger audience is unable to watch it. The abusive relationship co insides with the name of the song 'Devil side' outlining that his abusive ways is the devil side that the singer sings about.



 Due to our genre being 'Indie pop' i have chosen Birdy's song as i feel it is one of the most similar songs to our one, Devil Side. Both songs have a similar pace and a lower calm tone. This video also focuses on a lot of close up head shots of the singer which is what we would like to do also, we also like the idea of close up of the eyes, allowing you to see the emotions of the singer, this is important in ours as we want to show that the singer is singing about the narrative as if it was about her.

 In the video below there are a lot of dark scenes which allows the camera to focus more on the singer and as we are having a very strong narrative so we do not want too much going on in the background of the singer as it could cause confusion. However having the singer against a black background the whole time like this one can get a bit boring which is why we want to make sure we can draw the audience in by having an interesting and satisfying narrative.
