Individual Task

Soundtrack For Music Video: Vicardi - Nobody Else

1a) Initial Response
The genre of the song is Rap/Hip Hop and the length of the song is 3 minutes 24 seconds.
The song has a moderate pace, not too slow/not too fast but in the middle, allowing time for the listeners to understand the lyrics or even the meaning of the music video when it comes to filming.
The song is about the artist doing his own thing whilst other people do theirs & also the main message of the song is talking about how you can be successful on your own and not needing anyone else's help. So the majority of the music video i'm hoping that there are individual bits of people in my group having their scenes by themselves instead of just grouped in every shot.
Imagery, i would imagine the music video to look creative and fun. I would love to have plenty of different sorts of scenery, camera effects & angles as well to ensure i and the team get a substantial grade (Distinction).

1b) Music video production Proposal
The song was produced by me and i gave myself and my group permission to use the soundtrack of course. When i made this song i had no emotion to it, so i and people could imply that it's a hyped song because of my voice, but the song is self-explanatory by the title. Our target audience, i would say everyone in general because this song sounds inspirational instead of a typical gang violence and sexual lyrics. The conventions I would love to achieve in this music video are Illustrative, As-Live & Pastiche. The reason why i want to achieve these conventions is because i want the music video to have a good understanding, a live performance vibe to it and also i want it to be funny so it doesn't bore the viewers. I want my music video to be inspiring and not the same as the other music videos around the world today but i would love to pick tiny individual things from each of those music videos to add to my one. In my production, me and my group would need a HD camera and a tripod and other necessary props we tend to need as we progress through making our music video. The overall total budget of the music video is £1950 and this is actually going to be funded and paid for by the college as we are filming on the premises and actually using the college's equipment.

1c) Shooting Script

1. The video begins with classmates sitting together doing work until the artist who is part of that group asks them to listen to his song. He will attempt to make them listen to the whole song until one of his friends decides to stop it because he/she dislikes it. The shot that would be most suitable for this scene is a mid-range shot and the camera would have to be still as all of the characters involved are going to be stationery at one table and it would enable the viewers of the music video to see what's going on in the background too.


2. This is where the intial music video starts aligned with the soundtrack. And here the artist is going to get filmed walking down a hallway whilst the camera leads the way. The most suitable shot to record this in would be a close-up, as I would love to show the artist expressing his feelings using facial gestures. I would also want to include the artist adding in hand gestures too, to give the audience more of a clue of how he is feeling.


3. The next shot would be on a staircase and I would include two other people within that shot along side the artist. The shot that I would love to use in this scene is a long shot and I want to use this because I want to show the artist's feelings, surroundings and also the atmospheric background too. In the background the two guys are going to vibe to the beat whilst the artist mimes over the track and do his own thing. It would be preferred if the two guys moved together in sync as it would look attractive and very effective.


4. Here the artist would be filmed sitting on a bench alone to symbolise the meaning of the title 'Nobody Else', here I would want the artist to mime over the lyrics whilst the camera moves around in a swaying movement in time with the beat. The ideal type of shot that should be used is the long shot as it enables the audience to see the artist by himself and the bench and also other background settings to show the artist being isolated.


5. This would hopefully be the last shot of the music video being aligned with the soundtrack and this would be the artist going back into the building whilst the camera leads the way. The camera shot that would be used is going to be mid-range and the artist would have two people walking beside him to show how the love of the music track has grown from nothing to a lot. I'm hoping this shows a clear use of foreshadowing into the last scene of the music video.


6. Finally, the last scene of the music video ends up with the artist and the same group of people sat together and then the group decides that the whole song is actually better than they thought it was. the same shot is going to be used from the 1st scene, which was mid-range, but as they finish discussing about the song they head outside of the classroom. The camera would follow their movement but it would stay stationery to indicate the end of the music video.

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...

29.1 Understanding the purposes of music videos

Purposes of Music Videos Music videos have a purpose and they have a variety of meanings according to the genre of the song too. Some music videos are created to promote the artist, promote the record label, the album or even the song itself. In my report I'm going to talk about how 6 different music videos have 6 different purposes in the industry today. Promotion of an artist's album Promotion of an artist's album can occur through their own record company, a YouTube account or even the song itself being released in to mainstream radio or performed at live events. Normally this would happen before the artist releases the track/album to let the give the fans a warning to was out for their song which is going to come out.  Adele - Hello   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQHsXMglC9A The first song I chose is one of my favourites and most powerful songs out since the closing of 2015. Yes the song is called 'Hello' performed by the almighty Adele and the ...

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...
