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.

Task 2: Styles, Conventions & Techniques Of Music Videos

Styles, Conventions & Techniques Of Music Videos Everything produced in media has codes and conventions and music videos are no exception. A code or convention is like a guideline of rules that music videos often follow that are always dependable on genre or style. The main conventions for music videos relate to camera shots and angles, editing, lyric interpretation, extending or consolidating songs meanings and allusion. Lyric Interpretation - lyrics being shown as a music video and this catches the audiences attention and it could make them sing along or even understand what the song is about. (Lyrical Video from The Chainsmokers - Closer) Extending or consolidating   - Extending or consolidating a song's meaning in a music video is when you use symbolism and things in the mis-en-scene to further push the meaning of the song or to add more of a meaning to a song or to just bring the lyrics together into a visual explanation of what the song actu...

Research Of Own Film

Name Of Film: Too Brisk, Too Quick The idea i have for making this film is a sequel of a group of people racing and also it will involve action too (bringing down villains and enemies). I hope to base my film on the famous "Fast And Furious" franchise as it is such an eye popping film and it is very interesting. Production Companies Orignal Film Relativity Media One Race Films Media Rights Capital Perfect World Pictures EuropaCorp TF1 Films Production Genre Of Film I am going to make a movie based on racing but also an involvement of Action & Drama too. The reason why i am including sub-genres is because a movie with just cars and racing could potentially become boring to most of the viewers and to avoid this from happening is by adding different scenes in to add excitement and stimulate more adrenaline through the viewer. Also by adding more genres to this film would help the film have more of a meaning to why it was made other than just cars racing for...

Single Camera Production Assignment

Introduction Single camera production is the use of one camera within the media production, whether it be a music video, short film or even a movie. Single camera production also tends to use different camera angles and often requires a lot of editing after shooting. Single camera production is commonly associated with low budget films & film companies as they haven't got sufficient funding to purchase many high quality cameras for a film production. Advantages & Disadvantages Of Single Camera Production The advantages of a single camera production is that it makes the viewer feel like they are in the scene with one continuos shot. This encourages the viewer to feel more emotions than a film with more than one camera because the use of one camera establishes that the viewer is at the exact scene in real time. Another advantage is that it is cheap, this is good for low budget film producers as they don't have as much money to purchase more than one camera. Consideri...
