Video Techniques and influential
ideas

Video: Rhianna – Only Girl
What I like about the Rihanna video is the
edits they have done where they rewind
certain actions to add effect. Here it is
demonstrated where she throws petals and
then we see her bring her hand back in,
making sure it’s in time with the beat.
This tinge is a slow motion edit at the
beginning of the video when the track is
just starting. I like the idea of adding the
tinge as if it’s the sun beaming down on
her.

Video: Rhianna – Only Girl
They have used a lot of editing in this video which adds to the
effect which I like. I especially this edit shown above, where they
vary the slow motion. It starts of with her falling in slow-mo, then
goes back to normal speed, and finishes with her landing in slow
motion which really adds a lot of impact.

4.
Video: Nicole Scherzinger – Your
love
I like the idea of adding a
fade effect to introduce
the beginning of the
video, it adds mystery
and eases you in.
Lighting is used frequently in this
video which is really interesting in
my opinion, and they frequently
use fast paced edits going from
varied locations which looks really
effective for the end product.

5.
Video: Nicole Scherzinger – Your
love
This edit they have included is really effective and really kept me
interested in the video as there was lot going on at this point. They
included a different sequence in between another one as show
above, so as she was pushing herself up they put a fire dancing
shot in and it broke it up a bit, bringing a bit more excitement.

6.
Video: Cheryl Cole – Crazy
Stupid Love
I love this close up show with
a tinge and think the use of a
wind machine is also good as
shown in this shot which is
used throughout the video.
There is a really fast edit in
the middle of the video which
I really like and would want to
use in my video that I make.

Video: Cheryl Cole – Crazy
Stupid Love
1 2
As you can see in shot 2, it is more zoomed in that shot
1due to zoom edit they did in time to the beat. This was
really interesting in the music video and it is something I
really like in order to add effect and keep it interesting.

8.
Video: Jessie J, Ariana Grande
and Nicki Minaj – Bang Bang
There are lots of low angle shots in this music video at
the very start which I like to introduce the scene or the
actual video.

9.
Video: Jessie J, Ariana Grande
and Nicki Minaj – Bang Bang
There are a lot of fast zooms of a lot of shot in this video
which is really effective when keeping the audience
interested as it gives more than just a plain shot,
especially when it matches to the beat.

10.
Video: Jessie J, Ariana Grande
and Nicki Minaj – Bang Bang
This shot of the sky moving, which is shortened down
into 2 seconds, is effective and breaks up all of the fast
paced action which is something I would like to try
myself to include.

11.
Video: Jessie J, Ariana Grande
and Nicki Minaj – Bang Bang
In this shot they have quickly zoomed out when Nicki
walks forward which brings you into the action and it
feels almost that Nicki is pushing the camera
backwards.

12.
Video: Jessie J FT. 2 Chains –
Burning up
I like the idea of this slow
motion, downwards tilt on the
close up of her face, which is
also made effective by the
light shining through and is
something I want to include.
This close up shot is also
really nice with the shots
merge as it changes to a
different shot.

13.
Video: Jessie J FT. 2 Chains –
Burning up
This 9 seconds long shot is nice because even though there are not edit
in-between, there are tilts mid way and the lighting flashing makes it a lot
more interesting that just a still shot. The fact it is a high angle shot also is
very creative and something I would use myself.

14.
Video: Jessie J FT. 2 Chains –
Burning up
They have use the same shot over 3 time in time to the
beat as the shot tilts up slightly, but it is very effective
and looks good.

Video: Ariana Grande – Love Me
Harder
I like this idea of experimenting with features such as
water and the sky and either adding a slow motion
effect like what has been done in this video or speeding
things up.

16.
Video: Ariana Grande – Love Me
Harder
This high angled rotating shot is really good in the video
and I really like it, along with the quick pull away at the
end.

17.
Video: Rihanna – Found Love
The use of green screen or reflecting an image or
background where my artist can lip sink the word is
something I want to include an really like the use of it in
this video.

18.
Video: Rihanna – Found Love
These establishing and action shots is as if the camera isnt even
there and they are just having a good time which is what I want to
include in my video to link with the lyrics and the meaning of the
song which is that she is living her life now how she wants.

19.
Video: Rihanna – Found Love
I would like to experiment with lighting and this shot has
inspired my to find out how this edit was create and try it
for myself.

20.
Video: Beyoncé - 7/11
Beyoncé in this video has used real life, raw footage she has
recorded herself which I love the idea of including in section of my
own to give it a sense of rawness. I especially love this edits that
she put onto these shot to make it more exciting and make you
want to watch it. One example of this is the rewind she has used.

21.
Video: Beyoncé – 7/11
The prop that has been use here by Beyoncé is a selfie stick
which allowed her to record herself from an angle which get
great footage that looks homemade which is something I am
willing to purchase in order to achieve this look.

22.
Video: Beyoncé - Yoncé
Although this is not an edit, the idea of shooting with a
wall background is a good inspiration for me and would
fit well into my music video when I am recording my
artist to do lip sink.

23.
Video: Jennifer Lopez – I’m Into
You
I like the idea of the
background with the artist
singing for my video and this
shot in Jennifer's is really nice
and effective as they have
done it as if it’s a Silhouette of
her.
They have used this black and
white effect which is really nice
to include in the odd shot and
vary between this and colour.
Especially in my video when the
lyrics are about her past
relationship which was very
negative.

24.
Video: Jennifer Lopez – I’m Into
You
I am wanting to do shot
on a beach and in the sea
and this is a really nice
and influential high angle
in a black and white edit
from behind.
This shot of her on
the beach starts of
very faded and out
of focus, and the
depth of field has
been shortened.
