I am actively continuing to look at all kinds of music videos as inspiration for our own. Seen as we are recreating a George Ezra song, I thought I would look at some of his official videos. The song we are doing ('Stand by Your Gun') doesn't have a video as yet, which is positive for us. I did stumble across the video for another of his songs entitled 'Leaving it Up to You'. The video depicts Ezra in the process of recording the song, and shows him displaying his musical talent while also having fun with his production team. This resonated with me as it is very similar to what we want to create with our cutaway from the studio environment, in order to show the band in a different light. Much like all of this video, we want that section to be shot in a 'home-video'/handheld style with naturalistic performances from the band that creates an endearment towards them. This video has given me some ideas for potential shots we could do such as the way they play with focus to give the video a calming atmosphere. It also reinforced an idea I already had about having a few shots through the class wall of a recording studio, which is featured in this video and works very well. It acts as a 'frame within a frame' and puts the focus on the artist in this professional yet relaxed scenario.
