Before I start to research and plan my music video I thought it would be beneficial to research what an audiences preferred music taste is and what they look for in a music video. This way I am able to keep this in mind during the research and planning stages.

Dylan Knight. An unknown filmmaker, who's videos capture mood and emotion excellently. Watching his videos has inspired me for some of the ideas I have created, in terms of mise-en-scene, lighting and camera shots. I decided to contact Dylan, to gather more information and hear his own opinions on his work. From an audience point of view, it is apparent that darkness is also a running theme throughout. BANKS, an american-singer songwriter has had two music videos created by Dylan, "Fall Over" and "Warm Waters". Both of the music videos are black and white, and have similar styles, whereby BANKS is the main protagonist, and lip syncs to the lyrics. Other artists Dylan has worked with include Drull, Chance The Rapper, Nemo Achida and Big Sean. Like I said previously, darkness is a running theme throughout the videos and all of them involve a main protagonist as the centre of a story. As well as music videos, Dylan has created documentaries, such as "Day In The Life: Skrillex". The documentary includes dynamic and unique shots as well as typical documentary conventions. This makes the documentary interesting to watch, unlike some other documentaries which can be quite tedious. The fact that he has created documentaries as well as music videos, show his versatility and creative mind. I know that I am going to use some of these videos as inspiration for my own, and hopefully create a music video that is just as credible as Dylan's
