For our music video, we have been looking at other similar songs and videos in order to get an idea on what we should include in the video and how to use it.
One of the videos we have looked at was Back to Black by Amy Winehouse

One of the key aspects in our video that could be an issue is the lighting, in Amy's video she uses a black and white filter in order to suit the topic of the song and in order to make it easier to maintain the low key lighting used in her video. We believe that we could use the same technique of having a black and white filter over the top as we aren't able to supply ourselves with the high quality expensive lights.
The video has a very similar topic which includes a well suited narrative, in Amy's video the narrative includes a funeral and Amy is seen to be the widow of a wealthy man. In our song the lyrics 'I need a gangster to love me better' has the implications that her lover may have died, as a group we have decided to use a similar narrative to this. Amy's video is an amplification narrative video where the video is split between performance and narrative, this is seen to be the most popular type of narrative video for our RnB/Pop genre. It is also much easier for us to produce as we have a limited budget and amount of professional technology.
The video includes a number of interesting shots and angles that we believe would be good for use to use in our video, for an example in Amy's video there are a few shots where she's singing in the mirror. We thought as a group that it would be a good shot to use because it gives out the intention that her backs turned and she wants to hide her emotions however the mirror shot allows us to see her true emotions that she doesn't want us to see.
