Analysing Imagine Dragons

We thought that it would be a good idea to look at some music videos by Imagine Dragons, so we could compare ours to it. 

One of the reasons we thought this would be beneficial, is because we were worried about our singer not having enough screen time as The Singer, rather than the character. By watching "It's Time" has shown us that the singer in Imagine Dragons doesn't need to have loads of screen time as himself, because he is also the character. In the Imagine Dragons video, the first time we see him singing is about a minute into the song. 

Another reason why we chose this particular video, is because of the use of slow motion. We want to use slow motion in the establishing shot of our music video, so we have now seen how effective it can look in a music video.

It's also shown us how we should look at light and dark. Most of the video above will have been edited to be darker, as there seems to be a hint of blue to maybe connote coldness and danger. We are thinking of editing one of our clips to make it lighter, to suggest happiness at the ending.
