Title inspiration

Title inspiration from other music videos 

We felt that researching titles from other music videos was a significant decision to make. This was so that we could gain a basic understanding of what sort of informative text is generally featured within a music video, so that we could feel more confident when creating our own text. Furthermore, we decided to research into other Hip Hop, R&B and Pop video's as we felt that following the same genre as our own extract would be more likely to provide us title knowledge for that specific genre/style.

The first video we viewed was Kent Jones' 'Don't Mind' which again follows the Rap/Pop genre. We noticed that in this specific video the director's name features at the start of the extract, therefore informing the audience straight away. However, we both personally felt that adding this type of text at the beginning of our video would draw away the audience's attention from the actors, and therefore could make the video look less engaging or professional, which clearly wasn't desired. 

                                                                         

We then analysed the titles in The Weeknd's video for 'False Alarm' and noticed that the informative text was featured at the end of the extract, which was something in which we both liked due to the text not being distracting away from the music video itself. Furthermore, we also liked how the director's name was firstly visible and then how the next shot featured the producer, artist's name, actor's etc. In addition, we were inspired by the plain coloured text against the black background as this makes the text more eye catching and engaging, so we therefore decided to use this particular way of presenting text in our own video.
