Inspiration for Our Music Video

Once we had realised that we wanted to take a more stylistic and 'punny' take to our music video we found some great pieces that we drew inspiration from.

Panic! At The Disco's song below is very close to what we want to achieve, from watching this music video we found out that we needed a charaismatic leader - a ring master - who is the main singer and just short of crazy. We need charisma bursting from the seams if we want this to be a successful music video. This music video is a great inspiration to us and we will draw much from it.Ne


Next we looked to Tim Burton extracts and looked through thusands of Fairytale names to know what we really wanted. Tim Burton's movies are great for the kooky take we want on these fairytale characters. This Big Fish ending is definitely a strong collection of crazy characters that are all brought together by one cause.
All of Tim Burton's movies are fabulous but this one really emphasizes a more lightheartedness from the characters and is very diverse in both costumes and styles.


Additionally, the work of Dina Goldstein really inspired us. Her series entitled "The Fallen Princesses" is an amazing and innovative twist on the glamopuised princesses we all knew and loved. Dina's take on these curt and quite shocking pictures really are provocative and exactly the reaction we want to generate with our music video. The pictures show the princesses in an immediately recognizable attire amidst the chaos and reality of life. For our music video, we mutually agreed to dress the princesses as they are know but to twist it with seered make-up, dirty limps and dischevelled hair.
