Music video documentary.

Uploading music video footage

When myself and Khrystlyn Wilson completed filming footage for our music video, we then had to go onto editing the footage in order to create a finished product of a music video, but in order to do this the footage must be uploaded onto the computer as well as onto the computer's editing software
This is done by taking the camera's card, and placing into the computer'a system. Then I copied and paste all video footage onto my personal files, this is so video footage is not lost and I am still able to access the footage when wished so. I then used the computer's editing software to import all the footage, this is so I can begin to edit and create my final product, which in this case is my music video called, 'The Unknown'. Therefore this shows that uploading all footage must be done successfully, this is so not footage is lost or placed in an incorrect location.

Music Video Production.

What did you film?
For our music video we filmed ourselves lip-synching to the music, locations of the area as well as capturing any emotions/body language, this is so the storyline of the music video becomes more clear to understand, the audience understand whom the artists are and so the music video becomes more conventional.


When did you film?
For our music video we first filmed on the 16^th October 2014, this was in the location of Rose Hill Park; we filmed in this location as we had a large amount of space as well as natural lighting which provided appealing and professional footage. We then filmed on the 21^st October 2014, this was in the location of Modern; we decided to film in this location as it had a wide range of appealing settings that we thought would make the music video become more successful and appealing to watch for the audience.


WWW:
- WWW (what went well): Our music contains a wide range of lip-synching which is clear to understand by the audience, making the music video appear more successful for the audience watching.

- WWW (what went well): We have a wide range of cut away scenes, (such as location shots) which we will use in order for our music video to become more conventional as well as making the storyline of the music video to become easier to understand.

WWW (what went well): We also filmed in an area which provided a wide range of space, this then made the music video safer and easier to film, for ourselves and others.


EBI:
- EBI (even better if): We could improve our music video so far by including more performance shots within the music video, this is so the audience will enjoy watching the video more.

-EBI (even better if): The music video could also be improved if more different shot/angle types are included within the music video, this is so the video becomes more conventional as well as so the audience can see the artist's emotions more clearly.

-EBI (even better if): Also for the music video I could include the use of slow motion in order for the video to appear more interesting and appealing for the audience watching.



Did you need to reshoot anything? If you have already reshot it, what made it better than before?For our music video we did not reshoot any of out footage, this is because we decided our footage was successful and any footage we disliked we decided that we would edit any of it to make to become more successful and professional appearing for the audience watching.


Did you stick to your storyboards?

We did stick to our storyboards for our music video but the only time we didn't is when we decided to add more footage to make the music video become more successful and conventional for the audience watching.


Were you well prepared enough?Myself and Khrystlyn Wilson was very well prepared for filming our music video due to the fact we was fully aware of the area of the location, what each location has to offer as well as we only looked ahead to check how the weather may be during the day we decided to film our music video. Therefore myself and Khrystlyn Wilson was well prepared as we was fully aware of how the footage may appear when we finished filming on a set date.

What have you learned about filming from this experience?I have learned from filming from my experience is that in order to film and record footage successfully you must book experiment at least 24 hours before the day for filming, be aware of what to expect from each location, try to film in a location that offers a large amount of space in order to avoid injures of ourselves and others as well as bring a costume type that relates to your artist and song in order for the audience to relate to the artists/characters more easily as well as so the storyline of the music video to become more clear to understand.

EBI: (Even better if): This music video could be improved if some of the lengths of the footage was changed. This is due to the fact in some of the parts of the video there would be a second of footage in parts of the video. This the made the video itself become unprofessional. Therefore this could be improved by making some footage longer then a second long.

EBI: (Even better if): Also this video could be improved if a range of different shot types was used, making the video appeal more to the audience and making the video more conventional, due to the fact the many music videos include a range of different shot types.

My music video evaluation.

WWW: (What went well): I was able to use a range of different video footage, which made the music video become more appealing and interesting  for the audience watching because the video appear more fast paced and professional appearing.

WWW. (What went well): I was also able to make the video footage link to the music playing to the characters and both artists. This is so it clearly matched the two artists lip-synching along to the music playing. Making it become more of an conventional music video, this is because it is very important and common that many music videos include the artist clearly lip-synching along to the words of the song.

WWW. (What went well): Also in my music video there was a range of different shot types/angles which made the video become more appealing and professional appearing for the audience watching.

EBI. (Even better if): My music video could be improved if I changed the original  green screen's appearance by changing the colour, (changing the green screen's colour to any other colour besides green. This is so it becomes clear I have changed the green screen).

EBI. (Even better if): Also my music video could be better if I changed some of the footage this is because some of the footage was to long which may lead to a lack of interest for the audience watching, and it makes the video become unprofessional as a whole. Therefore I would decrease the footage to make it shorter, which then makes the music video become more fat paced.

EBI. (Even better if): My music video could be improved if I included more performance shots in the video. This is so it would lead to an increase of interest for the audience watching. Therefore I could improve my music video by including a range of different performance shots to make the music video become more appealing for the audience watching.

Annotated lyrics for chosen music video.

Here is the lyrics to the music video I have chosen to create, I have annotated the lyrics so I have an idea of what I will create before creating the final music video.

Conventions of music videos.

Intro: I have recently been doing research into music videos due to the fact I will be creating my own music video so in order for the video I plan to create it must have all the correct conventions needed in order for the music video to be successful.




1.) It is very common for the artist to appear in the music video this is so the video appears more professional and the artist may appear as a character or lip-synching so the artist may relate to the storyline of the music video or just to make the video appear more interesting for the audience watching.


For example in the music video, ‘Flaws' by Bastille the audience see the artist singing and acting in the music video. This is so the audience understand who created the music video to begin.

In the next music video, 'Under control' by Calvin Harris the audience clearly see the artist appear though out the music video this is so the audience is fully aware of who the singer of the video is and so the video becomes more professional appearing to the audience watching.


Also in the music video, 'uncondionally' the artist clearly appears in the music video. This is because the artist is the main character within the music video so the artist appears in the video often so the audience is aware that the singer is the artist as well as the main character within the music video.

In the next video called, 'Counting stars' the audience clearly see the artist appear in the music video. The audience also see the artist lip-synching in the music video as well as playing types of instruments in the music video.


In the music video, 'Let her go' the audience see the artist appear though out the video this is so the video appears more professional appealing to the audience watching. Also in this music video the audience see the artist playing different types of instruments this is so the video becomes more appealing to the audience watching.







2.) The music video is usually the soundtrack to the whole video this so the audience are fully interested due to the fact the audience can listen to music while watching a video which may link to the storyline of the video shown.


For example in the music video, 'Flaws' begins with a quick pace to attract the audience watching. Also the music is the sound track to the whole of the music video. This is so the audience find the video more interesting as they can watch the video while listening to the music.


In the next music video, 'Under control' the music video is the sound track to the whole video. This is because the audience will find the video more appealing if they can listen to music while watch a video at the same time.

In the next video,' Uncondially' the music video is clearly the soundtrack to the video this is clearly seen because as the video begins the music begins as well. Also in the next music video, 'Counting stars' the music video is the sound track to the whole video. This is shown as soon as the video begins the music starts, this is the video becomes more appealing to the audience watching the video.

In the next music video called, 'Let her go' the audience are clearly aware that the music is the sound track to the whole video. This is so the video becomes more interesting to the audience and so its tells a story though the use of lyrics and performing.






3.) In many music video the artist will lip-synch along with the lyrics of the music video this is so the video becomes more appealing and interesting for the audience watching.


For example in the music video, 'Flaws' shows in parts of the video the artist lip-synching along with the lyrics as well as acting. This is so the audience clearly understand that the artist is an important character within the video.

Also in the music video, 'Under control' the audience clearly see the artist lip-synching though out the video this is so the audience is aware of who song the lyrics included in the music video.

In the next music video called, 'Uncondially' the audience see the artist lip-synching though out the video this is so the video becomes more interesting and appealing for the audience watching the video as well as listening to the lyrics of the music video.


The next video called, 'Counting stars' clearly shows the artist lip-synching along with the lyrics of the video. This is so the video appears more professional to the audience watching.

And in the music video, 'Let her go' the audience clearly see the artist lip-synching though out the video this is so the video becomes more interesting to the audience watching the music video.






4.) The artist may perform though out the video to keep the artist entertain though out the video and so the audience do not lose interest within the video.


In the music video, 'Flaws' the audience see the artist acting and gesturing in the video this is so it expresses the emotions of the artist and characters more clearly in the video.

In the next music video, 'Under control' the artist performs though out the video. This is because the artist is seen acting as well as lip-synching in the music video. This is so the video becomes more professional to the audience watching.


Also in the next music video called, 'Uncondially' the audience clearly see the artist lip-synching as well as act though out this is so the video becomes more interesting for the audience watching the video.

And in the music video, 'Counting stars' the audience clearly sees the artist acting, lip-synching as well as playing instruments in the music video this is so the video becomes more interesting and professional for the audience watching the video.

In the next video, 'Let her go' the audience sees the artist lip-synching, playing instrument and acting this is all used so the video becomes more appealing for the audience watching the video.





5.) It is very important for the music video to have more then three or four different types of locations shown this is so the video becomes more professional and appealing for the audience watching.

For example in the music video, 'Flaws' the audience clearly see more then three different locations included in the music video. This is used so it creates more of a clear storyline for the audience to understand.


The next music video I looked at is called, 'Under control' this music video shows a range of different types of locations which then makes the music video have more of a clear storyline for the audience to understand. This then makes the video appeal more to the audience as it appears more professional and appealing to watch.


The next music video I looked at was called, 'Uncondially' this video shows clear use of a range of different types of locations. The different types of locations relates to the character's costume this is due to the fact the costume used appears upper class which relates to the location of the video which is higher class appealing to the audience. Therefore the locations used creates a clearer storyline for the audience to understand.

Also the next music video called, 'Counting stars' shows a range of different locations this is so the video appeals more to the audience watching because if more then one different location is used makes the audience understand more about the characters, the meaning behind the lyrics and the storyline of the music video.


The last music video I looked at was called, 'Let her go' this music video showed use of a range of different location this is so the video appears more professional for the audience watching and to attract a wider audience for the music video.





6.) Costumes are used in every music video this is because it may relate to the characters, the artist, the target audience or the storyline. Therefore costume is very important and it makes the storyline of the music video more clear for the audience to understand while watching the video.

In the music video, 'Flaws' the audience see the artist/main character's costume clearly though out the music video. This is so the audience understand more about the personality of the artists' character. In this music video the audience see that the artist wears youthful clothing which will then appeal to teenagers and adults. Therefore this music video is trying to appeal to teenagers and adults. This then means that the target audience for this music video is teenagers and adults.

The next music video, 'Under control' shows a range of different types of costume to show that everyone is the music video is an individual this is so the audience can relate to a different character within the video. This is because everyone in the world is a individual and will have different types of interests which is shown in this music video though the use of costume.

Also the next video, 'Uncondially' the audience clearly see the costume of the characters. The costume shown in the video suggests that the character are upper class due to the fact the costume is posh and appears expensive to the audience. Therefore the costume used relates to the storyline of the music video.

And the music video, 'Counting stars' the audience see the character's wearing causal costume. This is used so the audience can understand more about the personality of the characters and the type of costume is so the audience can relate to the character due to the fact the audience may wear causal clothing. Therefore the type of costume used is trying to attract a wider audience range.

The last music video I looked at was called, 'Let her go' this costume used in this music video shows use of causal costume this is used so the audience understand that the character are more relatable if wearing causal clothing which the audience may chose to wear.






7.) The use of a studio is common in a music video this is so the video appears more original and personal to the artist and the audience watching. Also the use of a studio may make the video appear more professional for the audience watching.


For example in the music video, 'Flaws' the audience see a clear studio. This is so the music appears more original and appealing for the audience to watch.

Also in the music video, 'Under control' there is use of a clear studio which makes the video appeal more the audience as it appears more original and different to current music videos.

The next music video, 'Uncondially' shows clear use of a studio which makes the video appeal more the audience as it shows that the artist uses their own ideas for different types of setting which relates to the storyline of the video.

The music video, 'Counting stars' shows clear use of a studio which is shown though the use of different shot types of performance shots. The studio is used in this music video to appealing more the audience and to appear more interesting which will then attract a wider audience range.

The last music video I looked at was called, 'Let her go' the audience see use of a studio as the artist is seen in a plan dark/black background. The reason this is used to focus more on the artist and performance shots in the music video.





8.) Many music video will contain some kind of narrative which may be intercut with performance shots this is so the music video becomes more interesting for the audience and so the video becomes more appealing overall.


For example in the music video, 'Flaws', as the audience watch the video they understand more about the storyline of the music video and what the video is about. The storyline is used so the video becomes more interesting to watch because if the audience watch the video to the end they will understand the meaning behind the lyrics more clearly though the use of the storyline.


In the next video, 'Under control' the audience see a clear use of a storyline this is so the audience find the video more successful if they can watch the video which links to the lyrics of the music video. Therefore the storyline is used to attract a wider audience.


The next music video I looked at was called, 'Uncondially' this music video shows use of a clear storyline this is shown though the use of costume, different shot types of emotions of character within the music video.

And the music video, 'Counting stars' shows clear use of storyline which is shown though the use of lyrics and performance shots, (such as acting of the artist and other character in the video). Therefore the storyline is used to make the video appear more professional for the audience to watch.

The last music video I looked at was called, 'Let her go' shows use of a clear storyline which is shown though the use of performance and shots types this is so the audience can understand more about the video and find the video more interesting and appealing to watch.





9.) Many music videos will contain a range of camera movements this is used to make the video appear more dynamic and interesting for the audience watching.


For example in the music video, 'Flaws' the audience see a range of different camera movements this is so it creates an atmosphere to the video which makes the video become more appealing for the audience to watch.

Also in the music video, 'Under control' the audience see a range of different camera movements. This is due to the fact there is a range of different shot types which makes the video appear more professional for the audience watching the video.

Also in the next music video, 'Uncondially' the audience see fast camera movements. This is so it creates a fun and lively atmosphere for the audience watching.

And in the music video, 'Counting stars' the audience see a range of fast and slow camera movements this is so the audience clearly see parts of the video such as performance shots which can only be seen though slow camera movements which is shown in this music video.

In the next music video, 'Let her go'  the audience see slow camera movements. This is so it relates to the pace and rhyme of the music. (The pace of this music is slow).
