Hayley Kiyoko, despite only finding fame recently, quickly made a name for herself amongst the LGBT community. As a lesbian, Kiyoko's music circulates around attraction to women and young girls finding innocent love too, just like other videos would do with straight relationships. She speaks out in a lot of interviews for same-sex relationships to be normalised, especially with younger people as it allows them to discover themselves without having to deal with the hardships.
I personally wanted to take a lot of influence from the specific video clip, especially the innocent love between girls. Another feature I wish to include is the peaceful serenity leading up to a crescendo such as in the music video where the girl gets hurt on a rock and beats up the boy. I feel like this creates a more impactful scene and that it can create more emotion in the video.
From this music video, I enjoyed the narrative that was created and this idea was what I wanted to emulate within my own video with the idea of innocent teenage love against a world that didn't support it. I also liked the normalisation of the girls' love together and how their friendship could also have been their love as it was so easy to slip into. Their care for one another is clear through the video and it is something I wish to represent through my own.
Girls Like Girls is a simple narrative music video, nowhere near as in-depth as Daydreaming, however, I enjoy the simplicity and the narrative is the influence I wish to take from this video. With my own, I want to recreate this women-loving-women relationship that the main characters have whilst including elements of protesting against family life and against those who do not support the young love.
