Research on basic Music Videos

Sinead O’Connor – Nothing compares 2U

This music video is pretty basic and low budget. This is something that would be good for us. I’m not saying we should copy everything in this video, but the concept or idea of it, is good. We don’t want something that would cost a large amount of money, and we don’t want a lot going on. This video is just a few shots of a garden or somewhere outside and a close up of her face singing parts of the song. Simple.

Queen- These are the days of our lives

Another song that is similar is ‘These are the days of our lives’, by Queen. Their video is basic. They are in the same location throughout.  They don’t use any colour either, it’s just black and white all the way through the video.  The camera shots vary between mainly the lead singer, Freddie Mercury, the guitarist, Brian May, the drummer, Roger Taylor, and a long shot of all of them including the base player, John Deacon.
