Genre Characteristics

The genre of our music video is an alternative rock song. Usually in such videos there are plenty of shots involving the band playing. We aim to follow this with plenty of shots of the band playing intertwined with extreme close ups of the band playing their instruments. We aim to also include plenty of meat shots of the singer, as this is also a part of the band shots convention. Usually in songs like this a lot of the lyrics are not taken seriously and made fun of, so we have decided to take certain lyrics and play around them. We will try to make them seem funny and have a different meaning.

Relationship between lyrics and visuals

In our video the lyrics will be represented with a literal meaning, whether it be funny or serious. For example when the lyric “It’s always cloudy” we have a shot that shows a load of clouds in the sky. We aim to provide a narrative structure of two people having a fight and realising that it wasn’t right to break up. We aim to tie it together with shots that are funny and break up the serious narrative strands. This relationship will continue for the entire length of the video.

Relationship between music and visuals

For the most part or video will be made up of ordinary cuts. However at certain points the cuts will be timed with the music due to certain sections having a lot of drum beats which are easy to sync the music too. However these parts will not have any parts of the narrative, they will instead contain a lot of shots of the band. The pace of these sections is of medium pace and will last approximately a second in length. All this should create another relationship between the music and the video.

Need to sell artist

During the video we aim to have a great deal of meat shots of the band, but mostly the lead singer. This is because it is usually a convention in music videos. It is commonly associated with selling the song. This can be shown with female singers in bands, they tend to be put on adverts and album covers in front of everyone else to appeal to a more male audience along with those that like the band. However this is rarely seen, as female singers are rare in rock bands. It also helps people to make the link between the singer and the actual band themselves.

Voyeurism

We have planned a few shots to show voyeurism such as people stood in private, having an argument. These things are not usually seen by people other than those involved, this then gives an idea of voyeurism as we are seeing a part of there lives not many others would. We did this to add to the narrative and give the audience an idea that they are looking into people’s personal lives. Our music video is aimed at teenagers so we will try and add voyeuristic things suitable for this age range.

Intertextuality

For this we are keeping our band as all male so as to be like Fall Out Boy, due to them being all males. We may or may not use similar dress style to Fall Out Boy, depending on if we manage to find a few pairs of similar clothing.

Digipak Cover

This is the second version of our first attempt to create a cover for our digipak. The cover has come a long way since the first attempt. However it is still not fully complete because we are missing the title and a band member.

Rough Cut

Digipak - Draft

This is the first drags of our digipak which is of the band featured in our video. This is the basic idea of what we are attempting to achieve in color, images and text's. We believe it will be a good digipak cover by the final draft.

Audiance Profile

Audience Profile

The genres of the band that we have chosen are Alternative rock, Pop Punk and Emo.

Alternative rock had originally appeared in the middle of the nineteen-eighties, meaning that the age of fans of the genre can be varied, ranging from younger people who are listen to musicians such as ‘Fall Out Boy’, all the way to older artists, such as ‘R.E.M.’ and ‘The Cure’.

Fans of alternative rock area also typically fans of similar genres, such as ‘punk rock’ or ‘Britpop’. Overall it seems that alternative rock is popular with a rather wide variety of people. It is both popular with males and females, and the age range of fans of the genre seems to range from early teens – 13/14 – to both men and women, in their thirties and higher. However it would seem that alternative rock and it’s subgenre’s aren’t as popular with those aged about 50 and upwards as they are with the younger audience.

Genre Conventions of Alternative Rock

Characteristics:

Alt-rock through much of its history its rejection of the commercialism of mainstream culture had been its defining tribute. The Lyrics in alt-rock songs tend to contain topics of social concern such as depression, drug use and environmentalism; this is not the case for all alt-rock songs though. There is no set musical style for alt-rock but in 1989 The New York Times stated that the genre is “guitar music first of all with guitars that blast out power chords, pick out chiming riffs, buzz with fuzztone and squeal in feedback.

History:

Alternative rock started in the 1980’s when a majority of groups around that time signed to independent record labels, this represented a major break from the futuristic, hyper post punk years of that time. During the 1980’s alt-rock was mainly an underground phenomena. Even though it was considered an underground phenomena occasionally a song would surface and become a commercial hit or wold receive praise from mainstream publications such as the Rolling Stone magazine. The underground Alt-rock bands built followings by touring constantly and by performing gigs and releasing many low budget albums. Over the years the Alt-rock bands of old had cemented the ground work for future Alternative bands making them popular and successful. British alt-rock was different from alt-rock in America as it had a more pop orientated focus. Not many Alt-rock bands from Britain were big hits in the States but through British radio in the 80's gained exposure in Britain and so were successful over here to.

Conventions:

In alt-rock videos there is usually a narrative within the video that either tells a story that follows the lyrics of the song or the story will completely ignore the lyrics and be something random or something that still holds a meaning behind them but not necessarily what the lyrics have to say. As well as the narrative there is also a live a performance of the song by the band lip syncing and playing their instruments. The videos always have many cuts between the actual performance of the song to the narrative which usually stars the band as either portraying themselves or fictional characters.

Below is an example of a Alt-rock video performed by the band Fall Out Boy.

Here we can see a few of the conventions that I have talked about, One such conventions is that there is a performance of the song by the band in the video. Another convention is that the lyrics and the video itself have a meaning, some of the lyrics when put with the video are a way of telling their fans that things change but people don't, this was done as may fans were angry with the band changing from alt-rock/punk rock to a more pop-punk/pop rock band so the video was made to say that yes they had changed genre but they themselves had not changed and that the fans shouldn't be angry with them for changing.

This is a wordle we created of our groups initial ideas for our music video and genre of the video.

Advert Analysis

This is a poster released before the release of Nickelback's album Dark Horse promoting the album before it's later release. The album was widely anticipated by Nickelback fans across the world.

The advert poster's look has what looks like a horse shoe belt buckle, which looks like is being worn by some one in dark clothes, as we can see below the belt buckle is a pair of underwear sticking out or the top of some ones under wear. The background is black so the image on the poster really fits the albums name Dark Horse with the belt buckle representing the horse and the black background representing the dark.

The poster has no dates or any showings that the album will be released soon after the poster was released, this shows that it is a early advertisement for the album.

Green Screen Tutorial

Green Screen

First of all we had to pick two files to edit and put together for our Green Screen tutorial. These two files were made before for the purpose of the tutorial.

After we choose the files we then had to take the green out from the background, we did this by using the chroma keyer, however we had to try not too get rid of any non-green area (like the person in the shot).

The chroma keyer below helped us get rid of the green in the screen, so we could then put both the shots on and edit them together.

I also modified the positions of the people in the shot by using the wire frame to modify the positions of the shots.

If there were any green part's we could not edit out with the chroma keyer then we could crop it by using the motion tab to crop the sides of the shots.
