The inspiration for the reverse theme in our video came from a Spike Jonze video we watched in class;
- The music video director produced a video for a song called "Drop" by an American Hip-Hop band Pharcyde - the whole video was shot in reverse then played backwards so it looked like it had been shot forwards.
- The whole video has a quirky feel to it and features the members of the band coming towards the camera in a weird fashion - as if they were just walking weirdly.
- A lot of the movements made by the group are abstract and would be seemingly impossible if you didn't know it was played backwards.
Another inspiration for our video came from a music video produced by Latymer students in 2003;
- The video features a girl walking through London which is what is happening in ours
- She is changing clothes which is one possible idea for our video - although ours will obviously be played in reverse
- The video uses lots of shots to create pace and interest, a point that is really helpful for us as we need to draw in audience attention with more than just the reverse theme
We really liked the styling in this video, another by old latymer students;
- Although it had a retro theme, the setting is similar to what we are aiming for in ours
- It has a really London feel about it which is what we're trying to achieve
- It also has a female singer, similar to ours
