I made a Pinterest board featuring relevant inspiration that I had for my music video. Initially, I added in photos of bright blue skies with clouds before looking through its suggested pins to expand on this idea. This board is what sparked my idea for daydreams and gave me ideas on how to include a cityscape into my music video as I found images of train stations and the Japanse countryside with such skies, which similar places exist in my city.

The simplicity of the cover with the placement of the text is aesthetically pleasing. I really liked the warped text with the bubbles, linking to Shawn Wasabi’s Marble Soda video which also inspired me.

The simplicity of the cover is appealing to me and I like the saturation of the colors. It’s also very conceptual and matches the album Rainbow Mixtape as most single covers from this album have similar aesthetics.

I love the boldness of the colors and how they contrast each other. The minimalist and simple composition is also appealing as it contrasts yet matches the song Talk Too Much’s music video. The cake in particular inspires me as it was purposely eaten or taken apart in the cover, giving me ideas of how to pose items in a cover to make it appealing.

Boom’s music video for his coursework is very brightly lit and stabley filmed, which is what I’d like to be able to do in my video. The settings that he uses are also similar to where I’d like to set parts of my video and it gives me a good idea of what the music video could look like.

I am unfamiliar with who this student is but I absolutely love their cinematography, especially within the neighborhood. The editing of the shots make them very clear and brightly lit, which is what I’d like to have for my video. I also like the montage of different items spinning on a table with mood lighting, indicating symbolism. My main takeaway from this video, however, is still the cinematography and composition of their scenes as it looks very stable and clear.

Pailin’s project as a whole is a big inspiration for me and I reference her work quite often. While what she ended up making isn’t the same theme or aesthetic as me, she included animated elements in her music video, which I was considering as I too, am an animator and have a program where I could include this. I like how her music video matches the lyrics to her chosen song and the amount of symbolism in her music video, which I’d like to include in mine as well.

Good Kid has a very engaging Instagram feed featuring promotional images for their merch and music as well as general photos of the band. The photos of the band are both professionally taken and personal, giving their feed a good balance with a mix of both. I like that there is no theme for their feed and they post whatever they feel is relevant to them. I also like that they use their story and highlights in order to further engage with their audience which I’d like to portray in my project.

Has that bright blue colored sky with clouds. I like how simple the cover is with a focus on the typography which draws attention to the title of the album. It’s very saturated and bright, which is what I’d like my cover and music video to also have.

The cover has that bright blue color and is minimalist in composition. The placement of the text at the very top makes the cover look simple yet also stand out due to the saturation of the already bold colors.

The contrast of the colors are aesthetically pleasing especially as the colors compliment each other, giving each other equal focus. I love the use of the dragonfruit as a concept, which gives me ideas to have an object symbolize a theme or message that I can put in my project.

This song and performance features a similar concept to what’s shown in Joey Graceffa’s Don’t Wait music video. Jeremy and Michael are gamers who view their reality as a video game and the song compares their high school life to their games. People have created animatics where they’ve merged the reality and fantasy through artwork and has expanded my daydream idea into a collision of having the fantasy show up in reality.

Shawn Wasabi’s video for his song Marble Soda has his launchpad be on a bright blue background. The level of saturation is what I’d like to emulate in my video. Also, in the video, there is a shot where bubbles come in, which gave me ideas on possibly including bubbles or something similar to create a bright aesthetic.

Minecraft has settings where you can make the ingame sky look realistic. As it’s a game, the colors are very saturated and people have been able to make large fantasy builds with saturated colors and backgrounds. I, myself, have built a “cloud house” in the sky and have taken a cinematic shot of it with shaders, creating a saturated and bright image featuring my vision of the sky with clouds.

D’Angelo Wallace is a Youtuber who’s brand is revolved around bright blue skies and clouds. He has many images of himself with such as his background and was one of the first things I thought of when expanding on my blue vision. His sense in fashion meshes well with this background, which gives me ideas for what colors I could use alongside this background when it comes to design.

Georgenotfound is a Minecraft youtuber and streamer who plays the character “George” in the Dream SMP roleplay. In the roleplay, he was a king and is often depicted as such in fanworks. His main color scheme features that bright blue that I envisioned and his overall design therefore has inspired what kind of aesthetic I’d like to show.

This is an animated video for an online roleplay series. I was particularly inspired by the beginning extreme wide shots of Tommy and Tubbo climbing up a mountain as well as their fight scene with Dream which happens after the intro. I, too, would like to capture extreme wide shots establishing locations and putting a focus on the sky (bright blue sky with clouds). I also loved the cinematography of the fight scene and how it was in beat with the music. For my music video, I have ideas of including some kind of fighting or battle. Realistically, I wouldn’t be able to make it as elaborate but with using dynamic camera angles and shots, I would be able to capture the same feeling.

This is an animated music video which centers darker themes from the song I chose. However, aesthetically, it’s what I would like to create. It features a bright blue sky with backgrounds, which is exactly what I was looking for, but also is a montage of different events happening together while focusing on a main subject. The girl in the video is seen to be at school and walking home but is also featured in more metaphorical settings. The use of montage and fast-paced movements are what’s pushing me further towards a daydream concept for my music video.

Down With The King is a song inspired by the video game Donkey Kong and features fantastical themes which ideally were what I wanted to present in my music video. Realistically, however, as I live in the city and due to the pandemic, I would not be able to show a setting set out in a field with a European fantasy theme. However, this music video features two different sides: the fantasy and the reality. This inspired me to think of including a daydream theme to my concept, that way I am able to still have my fantasy idea but not make it a central focus making the outcome be more reachable for me.

Space Out! Is an example of an indie music video that is more realistic to what I would be able to produce. Behind the scenes it was created by Ellie Dixon and her sister during quarantine, limiting their resources. However, they still managed to create an aesthetically pleasing and conceptual video that fit the theme of the song -- daydreams and space. I liked the simplicity of it and was inspired by the blue background featured in the beginning as well as on the cover art.

Blur’s Charmless Man is the perfect example of what kind of style of music video I initially wanted -- a mix of performance and narrative. I liked how in the video the band interacted with the narrative and that it wasn’t separated like in most music videos. When I didn’t have anything conceptually, I was inspired by this music video to choose Down With The King as that song fit more with the performance/narrative style I wanted.
