Aura music video Inspirations

After looking at my original music video inspirations page, I have now decided to create another page dedicated to inspirations to my Aura video.

From this video I really enjoyed the whole class system style of the video and the offerings.  

I really enjoy the dark quality of the video and the dark and dingy setting.  I also feel the close ups in the video are something I wish to emulate in my own video.

I really enjoy the tribal look and the dance and formation.

After watching this video closely it was all set and shot in the exact same studio.  This proves that if you have enough entertaining shots placed together in a fast sequence you can trick your audience into not noticing the backgrounds.  As I am limited to a small number of locations I am going to have to try to emulate this video.

I intend to use these 4 videos and blend them into my own unique recipe to create an even better video.

costume

I am currently tying to decide what costumes my backing dancers shall ware.  Although I have already decided my costume for the dance scene.  I have also looked in my wardrobe and discovered items of clothing I believe would fit in with my music video.  

 here are the clothes I intend to ware for the dance.  They are practical to be able to dance in but also with the acid wash style gives an urban yet fashionable look.

 

Here are the other clothes I have found and feel would work well in my video.

 

album covers/digipack

For my secondary task I have to create an album cover/digipack.  I decided to look at my albums that I have bought to look for some inspiration.

 After looking at the album covers I have decided my favorites.

I have noticed my favorite album covers have strong colour co-ordination and majority of them feature a big close up of the singers face or a mid shot.

Aura choreography

I have now started to create the choreography for the 'Aura' music video.  I have now enlisted the help of my schools dance teacher and we are now starting to create a dance  We have also found a video on YouTube and are using that as a starting point.

 I have tried to contact the remember the feeling dance group on their YouTube channel.  Here is my short post 'hi, I'm trying to create a music video for the song Aura and was wondering if I could use this choreography for my video.  I really love what you have done and I would love to credit you.  thanks.' 

I have received ':)' from the company and have understood this to be a yes.
