K.H. - Inspiring Music Videos


  • The use of grayscale to colour the video gives it a noir-ish tone that we could easily replicate
  • Both stars of the video dress in period costume that is particularly relevant to the setting of electro-swing genre we are considering, particularly the suit
  • We could also learn from how the video efficiently switches between sequences in colour and sequences in grayscale which gives us more flexibility with our approach to differentiating flashbacks from other scenes and more ways to demonstrate technical excellence
  • There's is definitely a modern look to many of the images that we could aim to emulate. This largely created through the picture quality and creative use of technologies to create many of the patterns shown on screen

  • Slow-motion features heavily, and is something we could considering using for certain scenes in our video. It allows particularly striking images to have maximum impact as the audience is fully able to take in spectacle and momentum
  • Editing is mixed, sometimes cutting on the beat and other times hanging on an image. This is a good balance that can inform our video, especially in relation to tracks with a faster pace as many songs in the elctro-swing genre do
  • Editing helps raise tension with a faster cutting rate as the song reaches a climax
  • Pivotal moments in the video are reinforced by cutting to tighter shots of different parts of the scene, which we could consider implementing

  • Consistent use of green-screen and CG compensates for lower budget as the video is essentially acknowledging it's flaws and turning it's budget into something stylistic. The low-fi style matches the setting well
  • Strong focus on period details, partly in costume but also much of the set design and cabaret lighting. Uses iconic motifs such as the the stage show to highlight period
  • Segments of video with paper cut-out style created in post and a washed out colour scheme we could replicate
