This video is inspiring for our disjuncture ideas for our own music video; for example the obvious connection of illustration with the random objects being pushed together as a 'First Love' (hence the title of the song). I think this type of disjuncture works really well, as it is almost too obvious to make any sense; due to our song not being a typical illustrative style we will only include aspects of illustration within disjuncture. With the use of random objects in this video, we will take ideas and inspiration from the style of this video but convert it into our own original ideas - this is to ensure that our video is not compared too closely to another existing official music video.
Here are some screenshots from this video that demonstrate what we mean when we say random objects:
Objects we have considered using within our video consist of;
- Costumes e.g. banana suit, hawaiian dress
- Pots and pans hanging from ropes (in the style of Little Comets)
- Masks
- Toys e.g. hobby horse, giant teddybear
- Pool inflatables
All of these objects will help to make our music video memorable and interesting for the audience to watch; this is a typical skill for disjuncture videos to have which is why it is important to include as many random ideas as possible. From researching other music videos we have learnt as a group to take ideas from existing bands, but not copy them in a obvious way - simply take inspiration and express it in a different way to reflect our band's own individual personality and style.
