I feel that in order to create a successful music video, they must be unique and interesting. I have been paying extra attention to the music channels and scouring through YouTube to find music videos that I think are interesting.
This song is by a band called The Maine, who are from Arizona, USA. Their song "Into Your Arms" has an interesting concept to it, as the lyrics are "I'm falling in love, but it's falling apart. I need to find my way back to the start" as the protagonist of the music video (the girl) and her surroundings are moving in reverse. However, the band that is performing is moving forward in time, almost as if the message is that he wants to move backwards and start fresh in order to continue on with his life. I really like the concept, and I think it would be challenging yet refreshing to incorporate a similar concept into my own music video that I will be making.
I have always found the music video for "1234" by Feist really memorable because the video was all shot in one take. Unfortunately, I believe it would be incredibly difficult to incorporate a one-take video in such a large way into my own music video, but I still feel that the abstract qualities of the video make it extremely appealing; the bright colours, the sweet and simplistic dancing and the shapes. The atmosphere of the music definitely is very parallel to the music, despite there being no narrative or specific performance with a band.
Going back to a slightly more older time in music, I have always been entranced by the story shown in A-ha's music video for "Take On Me." I love the way in which cartoon strips and real life are combined, and I have always been interested in the way in which the story progresses. I think a narrative-based music videos have the advantage of hooking the audience in with a story that could be associated with any film or drama that is watched on the television.
