I found the music video for Arctic Monkeys' 'Leave Before the Lights Come On' very inspirational. The female character in the video has similar characteristics to the protagonist in our music video, particularly her feelings of desperation. She is shown running throughout the music video, this is an idea that we also want to include in our video as it portrays ideas of escapism, our key theme.
I like the way this music video has been filmed, especially the shots starting at 3:31 that show the woman running from different angles. The quick cuts that alternate between the front view and back view create a disorientating atmosphere, the fast pace also creating a frantic and desperate feel that help to capture the feelings of the character. I would like to incorporate similar shots in our music video as I think that this desperate, hurried energy is well suited to our fast paced song as well as our narrative of a girl trying to escape her normal life. This technique would be good to use in our Oxford Street car park location as it contains a staircase that will be featured towards the end of the song, which has a faster pace, so will suit the increasingly distressed atmosphere.
Below are stills from the video showing the different camera angles:
