Music video ideas and influences

In this shot of You Me At Six's 'Rescue Me' I noticed the young actress within the music video and very much liked her make-up. It is very simple yet it is quite dark which is a common feature amongst pop-rock. Avril Lavigne is a prime example of this.

 In this shot from Serj Tankian of system Of A Down's 'Empty Walls' I liked the way he was giving eye contact addressing that he has an audience and making the music video more personal because it is as if he's directing the songs meaning at someone watching.

 In Meghan Trainors 'Lips Are Movin' and Taylor Swift's 'Blank space' I liked the use of red lipstick. Bright colours are often used in the punk genre.

In Taylor Swift's 'Blank Space' I also liked the shot in which Taylor is sat on her bed singing parts of the song. (Last Shot on the page)
