Chosen media

What is a music video?
A music video is a visual short movie that goes with a song so that people can understand the message behind it. In the past music videos have developed from musical showing the dance that when with their songs and people used it to 'illustrate' their song and it developed from there. currently really obscure or shocking music videos can make a song gain popularity. This is shown by Nikki Minaj's video Anaconda as that went viral overnight slowly making the song popular.

 What are the key aspects of your chosen media? (what key things are included in all music promo videos?)
for some videos the key aspect of the music video is to sell the lyrics and what the song is saying whether its about a world issue or rather about the persons love issues ext. for my video i will stick to the entertainment values of a music video making it more of an interesting video to watch. in the real world i would use the video to sell the song ans both would come together to sell each other.

Genre Specific Analysis: Gorillaz

In this, we see a dodgy city and then the camera moves over the clouds to reveal a buildi ng above the clouds called the feel good inc. This represents how in this building at the top you don't have to see the horror that is going down below the city its almost as if ignoring it makes it better/ ignorance is bliss. The light against the building represents hoe rising against everthing and the building almost makes it seem as if anything in this 'Feel Good Inc' tower is possible. Then in this shot, we get to see inside the building sh owing how dodgy it is in there too. This illustrates what y ou see on the outside (the sign that says feel good inc) is not exactly whats on the inside. The red background connotes danger and lust, linking to the sex drugs and rock and roll vibes going on inside the building. In contrast with the characters blue hair, it makes him stand out characterising and illustrating that he is the singer. Now we see more mov...

Extra final edits made to my digipak advertiment

Image
It was said that my digipak still looked quite busy and that there was too mush going on. There was too many different coloured text and font variations which made the advertisement look to cramped. So I changed all font that wasn't to do with the artist or the name of the album blue and changed it to the same font, Didcot. I then moved some of the album information above the name of the album name to make the text look less cramped between the hands. I then moved all the logos down to the bottom of the advertisement to make the advertisement look more professional. I also changed the colours by putting filters on the image so that the advertisement stood out more.

Rough cut

This is my first edit of my music video for the song 'Take me to church'. While doing this I have realised some issues with the video for instance I have used a lot of my footage in this first section and I think I need to go back and re-film at those locations. For this first section I want to focus on setting the scene (location) and implying that time has gone and that this terrible accident happen earlier on. Reflecting on this I have booked another Day I can film in the church to see if I can get any better shots. They have kindly accepted to allow me to film and I'm changing my camera in a hope that it will take better to the lighting in the church.
