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...

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...
