Music Video Influence: It Will Rain - Bruno Mars

Watching this music video of It Will Rain, influenced our music video as it has a similar story line to our song "What We Started" and our ideas that we have thought of. In this music video there are scenes where there are cuts of the couple in their happy moments, when they are unhappy or having an argument, missing each other (by themselves) and performance scenes, this gives the audience a perspective on their relationship and how 'in love' they were. When the fighting scenes happen the camera movement is moving around them representing the chaos that is happening between them.

The lighting is dark and dim and most of the time the weather is raining which also relates to the title of the song: "It will rain", this is whenever the couple are having an argument which creates the atmosphere of unhappiness and intensity. However, when they are happy and laughing they lighting is adverse, the lighting is bright and the windows are open the weather outside is sunny.  The rain denotes to how he is feeling, and the setting and the location just creates the atmosphere, for example in one scene he is in an empty room alone and upset the walls are stripped down there are buckets on the floor because the rain in going through the roof, this could mean that he is becoming flooded with emotions and the buckets of water and the dripping tap go in time with the song as well. The stripped walls connotate that his life being empty no colour or light without her in his life. 


The extreme close ups when the couple are happy portrays the intimacy of their relationship whereas, when he is unhappy and alone he is at a long shot which emphasises the loneliness and emotions that he is feeling inside. When Bruno looks into a room, it looks like he is looking at when they were happy in that room, showing how they used to be and making it more emotional.
