Planning - Inspiration

Here are a few images which explore similar looks we are thinking of using to represent our artist.

The majority of the video will be set in the forest so I've been looking at the types of shots there are of current female artists in the woods and gaining influence from them

We want our artist to look natural and connote the idea that they're at one with nature. So these are definitely some potential shots we could use for our digipak or advertisement. I feel it conveys a sense of naturalism and suggests she makes Alternative pop music, as it sways from the stereotypical image of pop artists.
The images I have taken off the internet are of Leona Lewis and Fergie, one image conveying quite a bright atmosphere, connoting a sense of purity and freshness whereas with Leona Lewis its quite dark and sinister, her surrounding and costume. This can suggest the meaning of the song, we are thinking of maybe mixing these two themes into our video, whereby some shots are during the day and others at night to show the animal like/wild side of the artist.

Here is a video by Emily Osment, whereby the lighting
is bright and projected onto her face.

We are thinking of ideas as to how to incorporate this idea
into our own video.

Another two videos we've been looking at for inspirations is:

Alex Winston - Velvet Elvis 
This video uses a special effect through editing whereby the artists physical movements are quicker then her singing so it looks quite distorted and interesting. This is an effect we've definitely been looking into a way of creating this effect, as it will suit our video and the disjuncture we are trying to convey.








In this video Somewhere over the Rainbow - Tara Busche the artist records herself singing the song backwards and plays it whereby it sounds perfect when reverses. Although quite complicated, we are definitely willing to try this kind of effect during one of our chorus' and if we pull it off it will be even better!
