One by Metallica

One by Metallica was Metallica's was there first and probably one of there most mesmerizing video ever by them. They are in what looks like an old war time factory playing one in an old blue sepia color            which the film Jonny got his Gun is based on, before the instrumental part of the song the lyrics " Landmine, has taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing, taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul, left me a life in hell". These lyrics match the part in the film whre he is in isolation in the hospital ward which looks similar to where Metallica had played.

Waking the Demon by Bullet For My Valentine

Waking the Demon is a very dark video based on a college student being bullied by the jocks of the school but at the end of the video you realize that he actually isnt what he seems to be, he is actually a demon who comes out every full moon so like a werewolf. Through out the video he is counting down the days till the next full moon to kill the jock and at the very end of the video it is a repeating cycle of him counting down the days till his next kill.

The Kill by Thirty Seconds To Mars

The Kill music video by Thirty Seconds To Mars is based on the amzing horror film and best selling book "The Shining" with weird events start happening all around the hotel where they are staying. Jared Leto who had written the song had based the lyrics and some of the video as "It's really about a relationship with yourself. It's about confronting your fear and confronting the truth about who you are."

Influences for my Music video

I have many influences for my music video, last year my and Kayne were really influenced by Bullet for my Valentines "Waking the Demon" which shows a boy in an American high School being bullied by the jocks in the football team and as each day he is bullied he counts down the days till the next full moon. Then on the night of the full moon he becomes a demon and kills the bully, and then makes his next target at the end of the video. We used some of the ideas from this video for our thriller and would use them again for our music video as I think it is a great video.

Other influences in music videos are Thirty Seconds To Mars' "The Kill" which was based on the Stephen King novel The Shining and Metallica's first music video for "one".

Welcome

Hi! this is the start of what will soon be my music video blog, telling you about how we are going to make our video what technology we will use and what our ideas and influences are.
