Examples of music videos: Camus and the Cat - Restless Night

I have chosen these music videos as they link to the type of genre to my chosen artist I have picked to use in my music video. I like how these videos are 'indie' as they look simple yet effective with the editing they have used in the video. These have inspired me to think of ideas such as lighting, location, editing, camera angles and the style of costume I would like to portray in my music video.




  • In the Camus and the cat video they filmed in a woods, which I felt that I could experiment with different, location for my video for which looks best and suited my video and lyrics the best. I also liked the use of costume for example the character dressed as a bear running through the woods. From this I thought of my lyrics “I had a picnic with a wasp” and maybe have a person dress up as a wasp and play that character, showing visuals to lyrics. Although I did not like how the video's location and characters were very limited and that it didn't seem creative. 




  • The second music video by Jose Vanders, the video was themed in a ship. I like how the artist gave eye contact to the audience as if she is singing directly to you in some parts of the video. I also liked the use of editing, for example when the some of the characters changed T-Shirt colours and on the change it went with the beat. In the editing they also added different colours for the background or were projected on the character’s faces and again was to match with the beat.



  • In the Daisy Dares you I chose this because of the use of props used in the music video. The main theme in this was Alice and wonderland, they add objects such as ‘drink me’ bottles and like the Camus and the cat video they had a person dressed up in a white rabbit costume. Another reason why I picked this video was because of the choice of costume for the artist, they were fun and floaty dresses with bit of leather and big boots giving a hint of rock. I also liked the tea party scene and the use of props for this part of the video.
