Music Videos for Inspiration

A music video that we have taken some inspiration from is Time by Chase and Status. This is because it has some really good shots in it, the narrative is very similar to what we are thinking about doing and it is a relatively medium difficulty video yet effective music video. The narrative is about a man and a woman who are having a troublesome relationship, the man keeps beating up the woman but then then they are happy at some points then it goes back to the woman beating the woman again and one of the children reacts and calls the police and the man goes into jail. This music video was made in this way because it is for Refuge for women and children, against domestic violence as shown at the end of the video below (3:42).

This music video from Chase and Status has areas in it that we think we will try to implement into our own music video because they are creative, this song mixes in with what we were thinking and this is one of our main music videos that we are basing our ideas from for our chosen song "Flat Foot Face" by Stan SB as a Drum and Bass artist.



Relates to Todorov - Robbie Williams - She's The One

The reason why I have chosen this music video is because it incorporates all of the stages of TODOROV's theory, there are five stages, these stages are;

1. A state of equilibrium at the outset,
2. A disruption of the equilibrium by some action, 
3. A recognition that there has been a disruption,
4. An attempt to repair the disruption and 
5. A reinstatement of the equilibrium.

At the beginning of the music video there is a state of equilibrium, this is because at the beginning the scenes are calm and happy. Then the disruption happens when the ice skater hurts his leg, Robbie Williams and the girl ice skater then run over to the mans aid - this is where the recognition of the disruption is. After that, Robbie then jumps in to the rescue and skates with the girl skater in the competition  and this is the attempt to repair the disruption that has happened. And finally there is a reinstatement of the equilibrium where they win the skating competition and the hurt skater comes over to celebrate with them.
