When making my music video I decided to look at other similar music videos to help inspire me to make me music video more appealing to the target audience therefore I chose to use Birdy- Skinny love because in most of her videos she has the piano present which is very much like mine however she has other shots too of different things. By looking at Birdys video I can see what my video is missing, these are things such as fast cuts, cutting on action and other bits of scenery rather than just the piano. I have also looked at this video to get inspiration for the type on camera angles to use. Birdys target audience seems to be very similar to mine, females of a younger ago but not too young this is beneficial for my music video because it helps me to see what is successful in regards to music videos of my target audience.
This video from Birdy has inspired me because of the fact its in black and white, I think this works really well for my particular age group that my music video is aimed at because in the generation that my target audience belongs to they like to change photos in to black and white often so it is very common among the age range, I also feel like it more unique compared to a lot of other music videos which are mainly in colour. it also gives it emotion a sad, gloomy type of emotion which fits well with both this song and mine. I have also took inspiration from this video in regards to the camera angles the director and camera person have used in order to maintain the audiences focus and make it seem more interesting although there isnt really anything happening other than her playing the piano, this seems to work because of the pace in which the video is edited, there is a lot of fast cuts which are very short so you're not looking at the same shot for a long period of time.
