"Drowning Butterflies" by Bipolar Sunshine
This music video very evidently consists of a montage which develops with the pace of the song which is an aspect that we would like to recreate in our music video.
The separate sections of film in the music video that form a continuous whole, partially depicts the lyrics in a playful, artistic and almost literal sense. For instance, one part of the lyrics of the song says "I feel lifted of he floor" so a short clip of a man floating in the clouds is displayed. Also, there is a lot of pattern samples used in the music video (e.g. second picture below) which is part of the montage; assuming that the pattern is a reference made to the "Butterfly" wings and linking to the title of the song.
Close analysis between the use of montage in relation to the lyrics and pace of the song in this music video signifies its effectiveness and suits what we would like to achieve in our own music video. This is simply because it allows an ambiguous story to progress in a short period, which is especially useful because the lyrics of the song we have chosen provide a lot of imagery. Unlike this video, our music video will also involve star performance and not singularly consist of different vaguely unrelated shots to form the montage.
