Evidence of videos you admire

Rhianna - Only Girl In The World:

Why Have I chosen Rihanna- Only Girl in the World as a video that I admire?

One reason why I have chosen to this music video is because the setting of the video is very feminine and it helps portray in a more playful nature than we're used to seeing her. The setting of the music video is much more of a softer nature than I intend to use, however I admire the general aesthetic of the video.

Florence and The Machine - Drumming Song:

Why have I chosen Florence and the Machine - Drumming song as a video that I admire?

One reason why I have chosen Florence and the Machine as a video that i admire is because of the heavy symbolism used in this video. I love that the range for interpretation isn't as wide as her other videos and that we see different sides to Florence throughout the entire video.

Beyonce - Sweet Dreams:

Why have I chosen Beyonce - Sweet Dreams as a video that I admire?

One reason why I have chosen Beyonce - Sweet Dreams as a video that I admire is because of the hyper real element that is used in this music video. The idea that both fear and happiness are portrayed - making us feel more relatable to Beyonce (Uses and Gratifications Theory) because she also has these sudden rushes of happiness and has her fair share of her deepest fears. Overall, I admire this video because the green screen doesn't limit how real the worlds presented in this world are.

Paramore - Decode:

Why have I chosen Paramore - Decode as a video that I admire?

One reason why I have chosen this video as a video that I admire is because of the general darkness that is used throughout the music video. This is partly due to the codes and conventions of modern rock music. I love that the drama of the forest heightens the emotion in the song, making them an effective combination.

My conclusion on these videos:

Many of the videos I have chosen to take inspiration from have a resonate theme of nature and the afterlife. These are two promenate themes in which - due to my independant research - I have found build the stucture and depth to the song. I particularly think that the pans of the artists among the trees create a successful "one with nature vibe".
