Inspiration - The Saturdays "Work"

The costumes are the main reason why I chose this video for inspiration because all five singers have smokey eye make up which looks really bold especially when contrasted with the leather outfits because it gives the impression that they are trying to prove something but are really confident about what they are doing as you can tell by their in sync dance moves and also how perfectly timed they are which has given me ideas to think about for our video as we will need to create a choreographed dance routine which links into our song choice correctly so the main dance we could take inspiration from would be Michael Jackson's "Thriller" as they will be able to create the disjointed dance moves to look like they are really weak and only just alive. Another reason why I chose this is because later on in the video the girls then change outfits to casual wear like jeans and long tops which is exactly our idea for the Cannibal video because we want to make sure the audience know that she has two sides to her, sometimes she is a cannibal and goes around eating lots of people but other times she is just a normal human being and would blend in with everyone else. The reason I chose this video to influence that point further is because it's shown in a completely different context and shot but it still gives off the same shot/story line in the way that different scenes are created when outfits change. For example in this video a dance sequence takes place which is the main reason that they change outfits but in our video our model will have a different outfit on in the section of the video when she is alone behind some bars where she feels isolated and alone from the outside world then again another one when the dance sequence kicks in this shows a links between the two videos but it is a usual music video convention because many artist/song writers want the dance part to stick in viewers heads so if they stayed in the same outfit throughout nothing would be different and eye catching so ideas need to be thought out before getting into it which we have already done.
