Inspiration And Influence Evidence - Task 9

I found this task very beneficial as it allowed me to analyse some videos deeper and see how they are really inspire me and how I can take aspects and use them myself. For example the use of lighting and the simplicity of videos can prove to be very effective like The Weeknd has done for his video 'Wicked Games'. Overall, this task has helped me gain further knowledge about Andrew Goodwin's theory and have shown this by using a video for a literal, metaphorical and abstract. As well as this, I am able to look further into TheWeeknd which is my main inspirational artist. To add to this, I have noticed the camera is often moving rather than being stationary, on the close up shots of him standing still and seeing there, there is either a slow zoom in or out. I have also seen that the camera always tracks the individual when he is moving. This is useful as I will be able to take this into my filming.
