Abstract videos and Influences

I looked at some abstract music videos for inspiration. I like how they don't have a narrative and with the song 'Digital kids' you can interpret it how you like from listening to the lyrics. I also like the fact that in the original digital kids video the girl is going on a journey but you don't know where which leaves it up to the audience to figure out.

 I also found this abstract video which didn't really have a distinctive narrative however I like the way they blurred some of the shots and how they made it episodic and had slow motion because I think it makes it interesting to watch. I also like the way that it looks like an old movie because it gives it an authentic feel.

I really like the video for 'Chandelier' by Sia since the narrative is told through an extremely abstract dance about alcohol and substance abuse which I thought was really visually appealing. I like the way in which the camera follows the dancer which is something I would possible like to use in my music video and is really reflective of the lyrics.

I really like this video by Mumford and Sons for 'Lover of the Light' because it establishes the location straight away just from diegetic sounds such as seagulls and waves crashing. I really like this idea and think that I will have something similar at the beginning of my video to show that she is in a busy city.
