Music Video Through The Ages

1920s - Music Video Was Only Shot In One Place And One Continuous Scene

1929 - more scenery was shown with various amount of people in it.

1957 -  close shot and long shots developed giving the viewers a clearer view of how the singer/person is feeling. more camera movement is involved as well.

1960s - a narrator with words printed on a paper was a new style for music videos in the 60s, as the singer would sing, the narrator shows the main words out of the pile of papers he got. usually the main words were the end of each line which would gain the viewers attention.

1966 (The Beatles) - the music video now has colour and it has different video effects which include cutting, fading & box shifting, which helps the video to be more entertaining than standard to the rest of the music videos in that year.

1970s - bits in the music video where the singers don't show their whole body, only their faces were shown which is caused by the lighting or some visual effect done by computers.

1980s - green screening was used, a range of different scenes were shot.

1990s - high quality recordings, more environmental interactions with emotions of people. more dancing was involved too, also a a story telling sequence was involved.

2000s - new fashion introduced since new millennium, far way more video effects, black and white, colour & sepia scenery. usually funny and humorous.

2016 - slow mo, dark scenes, flashing lights, real life locations.

Evaluation

My final production resulted to something different to what I had planned. The order of shots and scenes were placed in a different order opposing to the suggesting storyboard. This was mainly because one of the actors was not able to make it in on the desired shooting day and it lead to me making a few last minute arrangements. The beginning of my project was to start with a flashback scene of me mixing songs as it shows what I do in my free time. The reason why I couldn't film it and include it in my video was because I didn't have a tripod at the time to place behind me and capture me actually mixing the songs in real time. As this was a problem, I decided to make an introduction with myself rapping a part of my song to the camera in selfie-mode. Despite the fact that I had to rearrange a few scenes and include new ones, the whole production didn't come out badder than I thought. I managed to fit in close-ups, mid-range shots and also a established shots too. Establish...

1. I think my audience's expectation would be something that catches their attention to the eye. They would expect to see a plot that encourages adrenaline which would spark the "action" to progress in the film. Commonly in an action films my audience would love to see popular stars name on the billing block before they watch the movie because it gives them a brief idea of how this movie could be like if they watch it. For example, they would base my movie on the way that actor has given a certain amount of energy to previous movies and it would encourage/discourage the audience to watch my film. In addition to that, I have included a lot of big stars to my movie so i have no doubt that my audience would be discouraged to watch my film. 2. The emotional response i would love to receive from my target audience is excitement because my movie will contain "ooh ahh" scenes and unrealistic events happening but at the same time i wouldn't want to encourage my vie...

Evaluation Of Radio Advert

At the end of making my radio advert it all was a dream come true but I had doubts that it wasn't good enough the way I planned it in and imagined it in my head. I felt the advert sounded great but could be better, like the way I recorded the voice overs, they could of been edited to make it sound much more clearer as if I actually recorded this thing for an actual radio station to broadcast out. I also felt like I could of used a better bed or range of different beds to signify the difference between the ups and downs of the information being provided throughout the advert. Nevertheless, the sound effects I used in my advert never clashed with the background bed I used and this was an amazing achievement for me meaning I had less to worry about in order of putting this advert together. It was also tricky to find a strong enough sound effect (Thunder Struck) to represent a real life sound to resemble fear/excitement to my product idea. The main reason for the use of the thunder st...
