Music Video Knowledge




I can use these ideas in my music video so that it makes it as much like a music video as possible, I can take the generic conventions and features of a music video and put it into my music video so therefore, I wont be reinventing the wheel which is something that typically isn't done too much.

Plans for digipack

For the digipak we may want consider that we have to relate the images and other things to the actual music video we've made otherwise there will be no link to the music video and promotional items and that will mean less marks. The things that work in this digipak is the images of the flames and the bonfire on the front cover, this is because it relates a lot to our music video which is 'things we lost in the fire' so it has connotations of the title but also links to the meaning of our music video which is a 'burning' relationship and we are having real fires in the music video to symbolise the relationship. I also like how i put the artists names on the back of the album cover in order for newer fans to get to know the band and know the names if they wanted to. Im not sure the font works too well because it doesnt look indie enough for the band which are heavily indie. For this digipak i really like the font thats being used, this is because it looks almost...

Research into chosen genre

Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that emerged into the industry during the 1980s and is mainly in the United States and United Kingdom. The term indie actually means independent and has changed a lot over the years. For indie, the generic conventions are generally the music videos are quite low budget. This means that the camera quality wont be amazing and the settings are pretty average such as cities, parks or tunnels. The settings are kept this simple so that the attention can be put onto the band/performers.    Mise en scene is also important for indie songs because it helps portray the narrative much better.

They also have additional actors/actresses in the video and they are often the main character for the narrative of the music video. Costumes would give them different identities making it easier for them to be set apart from everyone else. ...

Why we are re-making a music video

Image
At the beginning of the year we were asked to recreate a music video which was Justin Timberlake's 'Cant Stop The Feeling'. We were put into groups and we asked to recreate a small segment of the music and then the whole music video would come together with each groups segment. The thing we learned from this was how to recreate a music video and look at specific things from the video and we had to work together as a team in order to be able to re create them perfectly. It taught us how music videos worked and it will prepare us for when we make our final one which is good because we will have experience before we've even done it so we can make our final video as good as it can possibly be. I think it will help when making our music video because it gives us experience in the making of music videos that we need for our final video and it also helps us to be able to understand how music videos are made and what it takes in order for a successful one to be made.
