This video had an influence on me in our production of Too Close. Firstly, the genre of alternative rock is similar to our song choice. I admire the way they show the artist performing as well present a story with an illustrative video. This is an aspect we will be employing in our video; our main focus will be on Marcus Green performing but we will also show the story of the song through interior scenes where he is packing and leaves his lover.
Towards the end, we may show a shot of him looking back at the house and see his lover staring out of the window.
I initially gained the idea of the window shot from outside from the Taylor Swift video You Belong With Me. The still below shows a shot from the video where the female character is upset and stares out of the window.
Although I got the idea from TS's video, our shot should look more like the picture below. This is because our song and it's genre is quite depressing and about real emotions rather than the happy ending in the Taylor Swift video.
I think this is a way of reversing Mulvey's theory of the male gaze because we will portray a woman chasing after a man who no longer wants her.
