An Inspiration - Anton Corbijn
Anton Corbijn
Starting out as a Dutch photographer he diverted to creating music videos in 1983 when he made his first for Palais Schaumburg with their single hockey ( a small indie rock dutch band ). The success of the band in Germany could be considered to be because of their music video. The style of music video was as a breakthrough due to previously inde music videos would contain stock videos and sometimes the band playing live. This lead to Anton gaining offers from many other well established music acts such as echo and the bunnymen, Depeche Mode, U2 , Metallica , The red hot chili peppers, Nirvana and most recently coldplay's Viva la Vida.
But He's most well known for his work with Joy division on Atmosphere. This was the video in which was released after the front man, Ian Curtis's, passing. The music video became a cult classic due to its thought provoking monks walking around the Beach. This spooky video became a classic and was believed to represent the emptiness left by Ian's death by the black and white spooky monks.

Inspiral Carpets - This Is How It Feels
Inspiral Carpets - This Is How It Feels by InspiralCarpets-Official
I saw this music video the other day from the inspiral carpets and I thought the style was different yet effective.
The first scene of the changing landscape with a box with changing pictures on is a style I haven't seen in a music video before , it bares no significance to the song but i believe its a style significant to the inspiral carpets. This long shot establishes the desolate scene and environment.
The next scene shows the assumed lead singer lip syncing the words. This is an area in which I'm unsure about for my music video weather to lip sync or not its present in allot of music videos but I'll have to do more research into my genre of music to see if its a prominent font and if so I'll have to decide to comply or go against the norm.
One of my favourite parts of this music video is when the instuments are thrown in the sea yet it's been played backwards in slow motion.This is a styleised part of the music video but i believe I may be able to incorpirated into my video after effects
