Inspiration From Other Media

Billy Parker

For our work I would like to get a few references in the video from other media texts, specifically other The 1975 music videos. This is because the fact that the band also do the same thing in their videos constantly hinting towards their older videos and work. First of all, I feel like the first piece of inspiration will be the existing music video for ‘A Change of Heart’. We will be taking inspiration of the male female relationship with the focus on the male and how he seems to mess everything up which is a plot line we will also be using.

 Another example I believe I would like to reference their music video ‘Robbers’ and take it as inspiration because the video is extremely interesting and it depicts a relationship which seems to be a prequel to the song ‘A Change of Heart’ which is the song we are doing. I will want to use some of their techniques of showing arguments between characters without sound through uses of shot-reverse-shots and reaction shots. This also features a lot of flashbacks and foreshadowing which is something we would like to take inspiration from and use in our work.

I also want to take inspiration from ‘Somebody else’ by The 1975 with the twist ending because I personally find it curious and interesting which is something else we would like to incorporate.
