Music video inspiration - narrative ideas

One of the most important parts of a music video is the narrative. With almost anything available to our selection for the narrative, we have spent a lot of time finalising our narrative ideas. As shown below, we have adopted a style of action. More specifically, we are going to base our narrative our the trials and tribulations of a boxer training for a boxing fight. From now, I will regularly post videos that have inspired us to explain the significance of each video in relation to our narrative structure.

* To make narrative inspirations explicit, I will be titling each post with the same title. 

Slow motion inspiration 

In this video, there is an effective use of slow motion (72fps at times) to accentuate every single movements of Louis Smith during routines. This makes the footage both fine in detail and easy to watch. In my opinion, the slow motion during the action shots is very effective in the light that it exaggerates the skilled movements the gymnast is doing. In our video, we will look to create something similar to this when filming our boxer working out.

In addition, the slow motion works very well at setting a scene in the beginning of the video. This is very important as the use of slow motion allows the audience to see the setting in great detail. From this, each person watching the video has an idea of the setting and where the gymnast is in relation to certain apparatus. Furthermore, the slow motion effect works well to show the audience each piece of equipment. This is something that will also work well in a boxing gym. This is because it will show the audience just how many parts of equipment the boxer is required to train on in order to prepare for a fight.
