Inspirational Texts - Music Videos


In this blog I will be explaining what I like about the video and that type of music that particular artist has produced and how this type of music links to my mgazine's style.


This first video that I have picked is Beyonce - Love on top. I like this video as it shows off her dance moves and it also shows another side to Beyonce as she looks very laid back in her 'rehearsals' and the things she is wearing is very nice yet not over the top like other videos. I like how relaxed she looks as she deserves to be happy after her years of success with singing and starting a young family with her hubby Jay-Z. The video is very different to what many other videos. Her video is quite minimalist even though it is just in a studio I think that it is very iconic as it is stripped bare from everything and so you get to focus on the little details. This video doesn't look as though there was a high budget spent on this video however there has been money spent to make her and the dancer look nice. The clothing in this video is minimal in style which makes it timeless in fashion. My magazine will be talking about the likes of Beyonce and her success not only in her personal life and in her career.



This is the second video that I have chosen and I have choson this video, as the artist is up and coming as not very many people know of her however she has had some great hits recently and this is the latest of many.  Rita Ora is similar to Beyonce's video as her outfit is quite relaxed however the setting is totally different as in Beyonce's video she is in a studio whereas in Rita Ora's video she is going around in a 'foreign' country whereas in Beyonce's video you can't really see where she is even though there is floor length windos behind her. The choreography is quite intense as she is dancing all the time through the whole video. There is a lot to look at in this video and I think this matches the song choice and her lifestyle. This video looks like the beginning of a astory and then it finnishes looking like a gig. This video doesn't look as though there was a high budget spent on this video however it must have costs a lot to have that type of a setting abroad. The clothing she is wearing is quite strong and the style is quite timeless. Rita Ora is a up and coming artist and this type of musician will entice the reader's and this will hopefully help inspire others.




This is the third and final video that I have choosen and I have choosen this is because in this video the setting is very simplistic however there is a very strong sense of a story in this video as if she is saying them things for a reason. Her clothing is quite vibrant and I think this describes her personality. In this video she is wearning clothes that not everybody will like and in my opinion I think the clothing is timeless. In this video she is shown to be a strong and moral person as she is seen to walk up to men by herself and throw away there cigarette and then you see them guys come together to dance with her. This shows that she is quite strong as she is provoking these 5 men that are hanging out together doing nothing wrong. The setting for this video looks very strange as it is a river tunnel (not very practical as the video shoot could over run and so they could ruin the equipment). The video keeps switching to her by herslef dancing and then back to her dancing with her 5 male dancers. The choreography is quite intense as she is dancing all the time through the whole video. Cheryl Cole is inspiring by all the things that she has been through and she is still standing strong and these are the type of people that will also inspire ohers not only to get into music but to get into dancing.
