Week 3: Looking for Inspiration for Foam Video Theme

Today, we searched the internet for professional high-budget cheesy pop videos, looking at colour schemes, costume, decorations, etc.

Katy Perry - Last Friday Night

This video employs the themes of a typical frat/sorority house party and a nerdy girl's transformation from shy to "prom queen". Party decorations are everywhere. The colour grade is very saturated and bright. The costumes are very stereotypical and tongue n' cheek.
This an example of extremely cheesy pop videos. I'm not particularly interested in making something that is such a joke. I want our video to be a little more sophisticated and crisp.

Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball

This video may seem like a jokey cheesy pop video, but actually it has the simplicity and sophistication (in terms of set design, costume & cinematography) that I think the group and I are a going for. 

Speaking of Miley, this screenshot of her "BB Talk" video, although being incredibly tongue n' cheek, gives you a good idea of the simple and crisp look to the bath shots.



These are some of the images we would like to include in our video.
