Comparing my video to a real music video

The video above is by Rhianna- Only girl in the world, i took a lot of inspiration from this video as you can see by the second screen shot using a similar scene. However i used two girls as a symbol of friendship and Rhianna's video is about being a sex symbol. The lighting used in her video is very heated, calming to show sexual references, whereas mine has a much harsher light as they are innocent friends. I also chose to shoot it at a different angle and have the girls running away from the camera rather than walking across the screen, but in both the cameras are still and the people are moving through the shot. It is not very visible in these shots but also Rhianna's outfit is much more seductive and provocative, whereas the costume my characters are in are just pretty floaty summer dresses, with wellies on, to me this connotes a care free vibe to the audience within the girls and that they feel comfortable with each other.

Facebook

I have posted the edit so far of my music video onto facebook and have gathered some audience feedback and peer assesment. They were mostly positive comments, therefore i have not taken much constructive critisizm from it on what i need to work on. However this version of the video, still does not contain any narrative, but i have been out and taken the images i need to add in as that was one of the things my teacher said i needed to make my video more interesting to view. 

Filming

Today i went out filming in the woods with the girls for my characters, i took some images of them on the rope swing and standing for my album cover and poster as well as filming a variety of shots to add to video.
