Music: Marina and The Diamonds - Froot

I wanted to share something on my blog as I have become completely enchanted by this music video. 

When I first watched this video, I was completely taken in with the lighting and styling. It very much reminded me of Gregory Crewdson, with the very staged and posed shots of Marina and another man. The blue, spotlighted lighting also reminds me of Gregory's images. I have always wanted to create something very Gregory Crewdson, and with the visuals from Marina's music video, it has inspired me to want to experiment further from my previous experiments with spot lights and gels, and to see what he outcome will be and the effects it can have.

At around 0.48 seconds, The video seems to have a Kate Bush inspired quality about it. The choreography section of the video screams Kate Bush, another inspiration of mine. Her unusual dance moves, combined with the slight haze throughout the video creates an 80s vibe, and the spotlight as the choice of lighting is very Kate Bush. Take Babooshka, Breathing and Wow for example.

This music video was directed by Chino Moya and the director of photography by Jake Scott.
