Marvin Gaye inspiration

For the establishing shots we looked for other soul/ jazz artists for inspiration. One musician that caught my attention was Marvin Gaye. The video for 'Sexual Healing' is an old fashioned and classical, i hope to achieve something similar as it will make my production look professional when comparing it to similar pieces of work.

 

In the opening shots we see two models as the main focus showing females play an important role in soul music videos, as a result we will get Serine to wear make up and use her in the establishing shots.

I also included a rose as it symbolises love howe...

This was our inspiration. I feel we re-created this scene from a jazz music video very well.

Song Permission

At the start of the course we had to email Annie Lennox's manager in order to gain permission to use her version of 'I put a spell on you' otherwise we risk breaking the law due to copyright regulation. Luckily we got a quick response allowing us to do so meaning we could engage in creating our own music video for the track.
