Inspiration

A huge inspiration for our video will be the sense of voyeurism. I believe this as most music videos have voyeurism as their theme. This can be seen from the screenshots below of 4 different music videos from 4 different genres of music. With this is in mind I believe it would be a great idea for us to portray voyeurism in our music video. This is because it would be following the conventions of music videos and therefore tie it in with existing music videos by following their themes. The sense of voyeurism would work great in our music video due to the narrative we wish to use. If pulled off convincingly it will add to the effect of our narrative and shock viewers with the twist at the end.

As you can see from the screenshots voyeurism can be portrayed in many ways. This is due to the use of the long shot. However, these are used in different ways. For example, in the Nirvana video the voyeuristic view is created by having the band out of focus in the long shot whereas the Lady Gaga video uses a high angle to create a voyeuristic feel.
