RESEARCH: initial ideas for my music video

Initial Ideas 

After looking at past music videos and documentaries created by A level students I have decided to produce music video as I have a keen interest in music and the industry. I think I would like to do a music video that fits in with the “indie” genre. After looking at past videos I think that I would like to use a myriad of different angles, techniques and after effects in order to make my music video engaging and professional as possible. I would like to use slow motion, video captured by drone and underwater footage in my music video.

I would either like to make an 80s style video similar to the likes of lucky girl by fazerdaze with lots of zoom ins and faster paced editing. If I do create a video in this style I would like to use jumpcuts in a similar way to that of season 2 episode three by glass animals  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Kwos_oWSc

As well as this  I would use slow motion footage inspired by youth by glass animals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZdsmLgCVdU


If I do not decide to do this, I would like to make a video to a slower song such as head above the water incorporating elements such as reversing some of the footage which is inspired by alt-j's breezeblocks video.  Also really like the cool blue/grey tone of this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVeMiVU77wo 

If I do create a music video to head above the water my main influence would be the music video to chained by the XX. I Would like to film much of my video in and around the pool with both underwater footage and slow motion aerial footage. I also like the cool tone of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeWxEH9tb0c

As well as this I like the effect of the of the projected images in the video for crystalized by the XX on the bands faces and I would like to recreate this. This is also done by palace in their video for holy smoke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pib8eYDSFEIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7QfNALDgl4

I have yet to choose a song and my ideas for a video vary depending on the song I eventually choose. However I have had some initial thoughts after looking at other videos in the indie genre. Below is a mind map that I made of some of my initial ideas for shot types and effects based off of some other music videos that I have looked at.  some of my initial ideas for songs are:
chamber of reflection by mac de marco
life its self by glass animals
busy earnin by jungle
west ryder silver bullet by kasabian
house of the rising son (cover) alt-j
teenage girl by cherry glazerr
she's a witch by gengahr
head above the water by palace
