I have started to look at different music videos that are quite similar to my music video ideas. While watching some music channels, I have come across a music video that was similar to the concept of my ideas. The song is called 'With Ur Love' by the artist Cher Lloyd.

This is the official music video for Cher Lloyd, 'With Ur Love':


This music video is similar to my ideas of my music video as the colour scheme is bright and vivid which is what I want in my video. The colour scheme helps emphasize the care free nature and happiness of both songs and help portray that feeling and atmosphere to the audience. Also this video is similar to my music video ideas as for most parts of the song it shows the artist walking down the street which is what I am doing for my music video. With the artists walking down the street, it shows a cheerful and light-hearted feeling reflecting the untroubled and relaxing mood. Also near the end of the music video, it shows the artist walking with two other characters and also a crowd which is quite similar to mine as I am also having my main character walking with two others at the end but not with a crowd. It almost seems as a closing to the music video as the main character is not on her own but with support from others beside her. With this video of Cher Lloyd,'With Ur Love', the video starts and ends in the same place. This is the biggest similarity between mine and Cher Lloyd's music video as both start and end of my music video is in the same place and position, both parts showing my main character sitting down in spotlight.



I have also found another music video that is similar to my music video ideas and the song is called 'Pack Up' by the artist Eliza Doolittle.

This is the official music video for Eliza Doolittle, 'Pack Up':


The reasons why this music video is similar to my ideas for my music video as the song and artist is the same genre as Lenka which is folk. The genre of folk shows in Eliza Doolittle's music video as it is simple and portrays that care free nature of the folk genre. This is what I want to portray in my music video too. Also that the artist is the one that is the most important and focussed which would also be shown in my video as majority of my music video is of the artist on her own so that she would be more of the focus point in my video. The untroubled and care free atmosphere is emphasized when the artist, Eliza Doolittle is dancing and skipping in the music video. For my video, I might also have my characters skip along the street to portray that happy and cheerful mood of the song which would also reflect that care free nature of the folk genre. Also the image of  Eliza Doolittle is quite quirky which is similar to Lenka's image as she also has that quirky and edgy look.


Researching into similar music videos helps see the similarities between my music video ideas to the professional made music videos. This would help make my music video more professional as by looking at other music videos, I would be able to see the different shots that are used to make that video and could inspire me to use that shot in mine. However, it would also show me how unique and different my ideas are, making my music video more original and inspired and also interesting.
