Newton Faulkner Video Research:

'All I got'

• Close up of guitar
• Abstract
• Mostly vocal performance

Below is the song " All I Got"

Jason Mraz Video Research:

• Jason Mraz is another artist that we feel is similar to our sort artist. This is what his video for 'I'm Yours' included:

• Slow motion group shots
• Establishing shots
• Handheld style shots
• Silhouettes
  
• Narrative and performance

Below is the video " I'm Yours"

James Blunt Video Research:

We felt that as James Blunt has produced a number of slow songs we would be able to relate him to our artist.

Here is the video to the song " Wise Man"

David Gray Video Research:

David Gray is a solo artist that we felt we could use for research for elements that we would be able to include in our music video.

His video 'Sail Away' included the following:

• Background noise
• Nightlife
• Flashing lights
• Location sound effects
  
• Performance
  
• Dark

Here is the video "Sail Away"

The Video 'This Years Love' included:

Jack Johnson Video Research:

We decided that we were going to research Jack Johnson. His video for "Better Together" had these things that we felt we could use in our own music video:

• Black and White
• Montage of photos and video
• Close up of face to show emotions

Here is the video " Better Together"

Jose Gonzalez Video Research:

We looked at this artist because we felt that he is very similar to our because he is just a man with a guitar. We decided to have a look at his video " Heartbeats " because we wanted to see what the video included. We found out that the video included:

• Out of focus in points.
• Guitar Shots
• All performance

After watching this video we decided that is was one of the more simple videos that we had seen. This was because the performance and the artist was in the same place the whole time. After watching this we decided that we thought it would be best if we did not do this as we thought it gets boring. Although we came to the conclusion that some of the angle shots of the performance would be good to use in our video.

Here is the video " Heartbeats"
