Inspirations & Ideas From Other Bands' Videos

Even though I am mainly looking at The Verve as my main inspiration in my videos, I have still been looking at other bands in order to gain more ideas and other things such as shots, costume, etc.

One band in particular I looked at was Pulp. After having one of their songs in my original shortlist, I looked through many of their videos. Here are a few:
 



 
There are quite a few ideas, that I could possibly 'borrow', that appear throughout a lot of their videos. The use of a plain white background in the videos 'Babies' and 'Mis-Shapes' among others, is a very simple yet very eye-catching and sharp - it creates more focus on the band member, particlarly Jarvis Cocker (the lead singer).
Things such as the use of the clocks in 'Disco 2000' or the images created of a working class life in 'Common People' are also things that I could possibly attempt to integrate into my video in some form.
