There are many images and videos that are going to influence our ideas for our video of "The Skeleton Boys". Our influence will come from varying artists and musicians. The aim of this post is to tell you in as much detail as possible where and why I am getting inspiration from.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfOdWSiyWoc&ob=av2e
I couldn't embed this clip as it had been disabled, however, there are many points in this video which will inspire our video as it is full of disjuncture and that is what we're aiming to cover. The use of simple props to complete strange tasks such singing whilst being in a bin; placing as many bottles on a person as possible; playing the guitar whilst wearing a purple hippos head etc. These elements of the music video highlight that the music video does not have to make sense in order to be an iconic video, but what I have noticed is that the tasks must stay simple and the audience must be able to figure out what is going on otherwise it will not be enjoyable for them to be completely confused.

Again, in this video, simplicity is key. The use of stop motion, quick paced and on-beat editing all adds up to make what could be quite gruesome with the hearts hanging from strings actually quite chirpy and interesting. Also, the style in which this is filmed will also be used as part of our inspiration.
Inspiration for costumes and band appearance will come from the moodboard I created earlier:
Obviously not all inspiration has to be the music video, we need inspiration for album covers too, so here are a few band's album covers from the genre we are aiming to achieve:
These images are all very unique and taken in completely different situations - we need to take inspiration from their abstract ideas and use them within our own ideas.
