Influences

Ellie Goulding - Your Song

A video in which influenced us on choosing an occurring them throughout our music video was 'Your Song' a cover by Ellie Goulding. It displays natural images of nature through parks portraying tree's and hills overlooking nice views; something we considered using in our music video. We also liked the styling of Ellie's outfits. They are very 'old school' and fit in well with the retro theme we would like to use in our music video. Her style is also a lot like Lana Del Rays which is an element we would like to keep in our music video. The genre of her music is also a lot like Video Games as it ties in with the Indie genre that we are using in our music video. 

We also liked the idea of some of the shots being purposefully handheld so it looks more natural and less set up to be a music video which is definitely something we are going to use in our music video along with close ups of her singing the lyrics and flashbacks of real footage that conveys with what she is singing about.
