Music Video- Case Study

At the point when comparing and contrasting AS media contextual analysis with A2 media there is different ideas of various thoughts utilized from an assortment to create my own music video.

I perceived how the ensemble of the principle of performing artists made an engaging look to their intended audience group and will allow them to relate more to the verses. Because of the way that we are doing a music video in view of a melody delivered by J Cole we are utilizing his standard image4 for our music video with the goal that it is more relatable to our intended audience group furthermore for the general people who have effectively known about the tune, No Remodels.

On-screen characters/Costumes

The on-screen characters/ensembles arranging was moderately straight forward for making our music video. Ours costumes ensembles for greater part of our scenes will be in an easy-going yet keen clothing which every one of the performers have and artist used for the music video were reached through WhatsApp messages, for example, jeans and shirt needed for once scene will be requested via text.

Target Audience

Doing the pitch for our music video was exceptionally helpful as the audience which we was pitching to was our intended interest group. This implied the criticism that we got for our video would be from the gathering of people which we are pointing it towards. The intended audience group for our video is individuals who listen to hip hop/rap and can identify with the dialect being utilized as a part of the verses and in particular comprehend what they mean. At the point when pitching our treatment the input from our gathering of people was very good. One of the primary criticism which was negative was the possibility of us including cut scenes in the middle of the tune, this is when we cut away to George bush talking on stage and people thought unit may seem a bit odd however we explained why and how we will be cutting away and the meaning towards it which is also bound by the lyrics.

Skills Improved-AS Media-Case Study

Since as media, my research skills towards media has enhanced essentially which permits me to create more ideas from research and I looked in to broader detail to other music videos genres.

 One of the main things I did was watch many music videos and how they are constructed and they use of their camera angles mise end scene and how each genre video differently according to the music and lyrics.  Whilst watching many videos with full concentration into the detail of the choreography and camera i was inspired by many shots and have remembered them so i can do them myself for my own video, an example is that in many videos and movies such as in spectre they establishing shot is of a beautiful rural scenery where the camera lays flat down looking at the sea then it is moving fast but straight then the camera itself tilts slowly up making a beautiful shot showing the audience what and where the scene is. This is obviously done by expensive high tech equipment however I will try a replicate this as i purchased a drone for the sole use for my media project to accomplish this and many other high angle shots. The drone itself is very professionally used by many cinematographer’s and can shoot in 2.7k an d up to 50 fps(frames per second) so this will definitely help me accomplish the professional look like the music videos and movies I have seen.

Car

The car has a modern design and build that helps relate to the wealth of the family and especially Bruce as he has a well-paid job, which, therefore links with the modern make of the car. This is an effective location to use as it also represents the high working class lifestyle along with portraying the secretive.

Purpose:

We are utilizing this area to film the artist getting into the car and having singing while driving

Three focuses that make this area reasonable for the design are: 1. Present day outline 2. Dull shaded seats 3. Tinted windows

These are appropriate with the end goal of what we are shooting as it highlights the abundance of chaye in being however these components of the car will develop anticipation alongside highlighting chayes actual identity.

The 4 technical codes are:

1. Camera shot, angle and movement 2. Mise en Scene 3. Natural lighting 4. Editing

we would be using either one of these vehicles. 

The utilization of close ups and jump shots help us to satisfy the climate between the two characters in this scene as the young lady is left in the position to decay chayes love to run and be with him yet this would mirror the past and not present. Using these shots in this case is also effective in showing the audience their facial expressions and emotions, which, helps to depict the atmosphere of suspense that the singer is up to something. The use of natural lighting is quite dark and is effective in showing the audience that it is very early in the morning or dawn. Not only has this but, the darkness of the natural light through the tinted windows portrayed the dark personality that tends to surprise the audience. Within this location, editing can be used effectively to reveal the content of the car to the audience, which relates to his wealthy lifestyle. 

Since the theatre is completely working, the stage lights in the theatre room are as of now set up and customized it can be utilized. As the theatre has two levels I can likewise utilize lighting at various levels to change the climate and impact of the pictures, which can make the photographs look more expert. On the off chance that I wish to utilize the stage lights they are as of now modified and fixed onto the bars, and can be utilized to fit gels (hued channels) which can be utilized to change the environment and feeling in the photograph. By utilizing distinctive lights (the lights accessible in the theatre are moving heads, profiles, FI can make an alternate impact, and as a result, along these lines make an alternate state of mind inside every shot.

TV Studio Room

Inside the green screen room there are fittings accessible from the sides of the room which I can use to connect to my own lights for impact and to help the visual part of my photos. And in addition connects to the room there are likewise lights which are as of now introduced in the room which I can reposition and stance at various plots for impact and to use amid my film. the room itself is very big more than what we thought so we will have the ability to roam around and have many different camera angles for the scene when the singer is singing.

In addition to our location to be using numerous open space public areas for filming such as Hyde Park and Regent's Park with the main part of lakes of the actual Park as we intend to use the Lakes as scenery of the establishing shot moreover we will also be going to on the prime London locations including Piccadilly Circus fot part of our video where will we will have the singer singing behind the huge digital billboard advert screens in addition with him walking the streets of Piccadilly.

Furthermore what are the main places where the whole of the music video take place is in the home town of where j Cole the singer is brought up and we will replicate it with one of our London locations in East London full of homes and parks to connote the sentimental value of where he grew up and the struggle he faced when he was in this area which scenes going into his home.

Whatsappp group

For communication reasons we made a whats app Group chat consisting all our group members. We did this in order for us too all keep up to date with the work when we are not in lesson and to share our ideas, in doing so our group chat has become somewhat effective and has led to us to organise tasks efficiently. Some members also have asked for help in the group so we have assisted them and when myself needs help or feedback we resort to our group chat where we provide useful and necessary information.

storyboarding

In today's lesson we are doing the storyboard and how and where the shots we going to do. we all shared each roles and drew the scenes out and what we intend to do. an example is for the 1st 17 seconds we will have an establishing opening sequence because the 17 seconds are just music and no lyrics. we will have a aerial shots of the area and then cut to the singer singing on the street.

 To do the aerial shots we will use my drone to fly above us and in the locations we have decided to get the precise shots we want. We were also thinking to do some aerial shots when the sunset is taking place as the daylight hours are slowly decreasing we will utilise this time and get the best shop you can full stop I was thinking to do a brilliant establishing shot which will consist of the drone flying above the water or river approximately half a metre above and it will be moving forward but the camera facing the water flat down  which then I will use the controller and pan the camera up 90 degrees yet still moving the drone foward at a decent speed of 10-15mph which will give it a brilliant cinematic effect.

After this I intend to take a Birds Eye view shot of loads of trees together or a forest which will show the area of where the singer is performing as the main reason behind anestablishing shot is to show the viewer and where the video is taking place.

Furthermore we will use any more different shots such as close-ups medium shots long shots and extrem close ups throughout the whole scene.

 The first immediate shot after the aerial establishing shot will be the singer sitting on either a brick wall or a roof with the camera low but tilted up towards the singer looking down at the camera. This is when the lyrics will be "first thing's first rest in peace Uncle Phil" it'll be filmed with a drone as well which will then after this  rise up and fly backwards however maintaining the position which will then show what is behind the singer which will be the local area of flats and parks behind him which connotes the area he was brought up in as the whole song itself is about the rapper J Cole and his life.
