The music video to "Time" by Delilah ft Chase & Status is performance and narrative-based and is extremely intense. I find this music video purely inspiring because the majority of it tells a story of the main blonde protagonist girl witnessing her father physically abusing her mother every night, and soon she calls the police on her father, and the audience are almost seeing this all happen through the protagonist's eyes. This creates a personal, emotional bond between the audience and the protagonist, allowing the audience to sympathise with her deeply. The story builds and builds until there is a final climax, and all of this is fully in sync with the music at the same time. For example, when the chorus drops, the shots fasten and the story intensifies. This can help to really keep that interest from the audience at a high level. At the same time as this, there are several shots of Delilah singing to the camera, from an outside perspective. This allows the audience to almost relate to Delilah because she is not in the story, she is outside it, just like the audience themselves. This music video inspires me so much because not only is it successful in its storyline, but it sends out a moral message to stop abuse as it shows the affect it has on teenagers for example (like the main protagonist girl in the music video), and it also makes everyone feel grateful for what they have in life. This is a really brilliant music video to me.
"I'm Lost Without You" - Robin Thicke
This music video is very different in contrast to the first one I talked about because "I'm Lost Without You" is mainly performance-based, with a few shots containing flashbacks of Robin with his "ex". This music video inspires me because it still manages to keep your interest even though it's mainly performance-based. I really like some of the camera shots and angles that are used, even if they are just of his hand plucking at his guitar for example. The mise-en-scene is great because the main colours of the music video are all black, white and some gold, which is very coordinated and it looks very sophisticated and classy. This makes the music video look high-quality. I like the idea of Robin just singing to the camera, because it allows the audience to sympathise with him and relate to him, and the flashbacks just add to the emotions he is feeling about this break up he has had with his ex. Overall, considering this music video is just performance-based and basic, I think it is really impressive and has a great idea to it.
