Video analysis-James Arthur

In this video James Arthur gives an insight into what life is like for a young man who is, for the moment at least, as recognisable as anyone in the country. "Fame is repetition," James quoted. The song speaks of how nobody will love you until you are loved and popular by many. You will be unimportant as long as youre not relevant in society.

5 videos that I can recreate - Inspiring Videos

The use of props and setting in Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" video has inspired me for my music video. In this video the concept of the song matches the location of the video, which is in a jungle, though there are shots and footage of Nicki in other locations, the jungle remain the main focus of the video.

This music video "All about the bass" Meghan Trainor inspires me because of the message behind the song and video. The artist in the video speaks about how she is not the average woman that society has created, she is in fact a woman that has curves and is not skinny, she is "all about that bass", meaning that she is proud of her volumscious body.

"Am I wrong" by Nico and Vinz is extremely inspirational to me because the song is suffused with African rhythms which I am familiar with because of traditional music. The duo are Norwegian and African. That is important to me because it shows that two nations can come together in partnership in search of peace. They sing about things that they've been going through and about finding themselves. I believe that it's important to have a message, and a goal to inspire people to find happiness.

This video inspires me because of the simplicity of the video. The message in this song is very clear and is portrayed in the video with the actors and style of the video.

I find that colors can be terribly distracting in some videos and can take the focus away from your subject, this is shown in this video "All of me" by John Legend. I find that in this video taking the color out of an image lets the subject/message speak for itself. Its raw, it’s stripped back, it’s honest and it allows the viewer to appreciate the message.
