A2 Music Video Final

1. Holding a shot steady where appropriate - we do this several times when we shows the entire band playing and get the entire stage into the shot, the first five seconds of the music video is a good example of this, the long steady shot show's the band opening on a stage.

2. Framing a shot including and excluding elements - shot 1 below is well framed because it shows our singer performing his song excluding any other elements of the music video because that's what we wanted for this shot. Shot 2 which is also below shows us the band but at a earlier stage of the day where they are rehearsing as we can see that they are not dressed to perform and they are standing on and off the stage, this is what we wanted the shot to be framed like.

3. Using a variety of shot distances - we do have a variety of shot distances in our music video, for example at 0:01 we have a long shot, at 0:23 we have a close up on the guitars being played, at 0:32 we have a close up of the singer, there is a medium close up at 0:38, at 2:38 we have a extreme close up of the singer, we also have a medium shot at 1:05 of the drummer.

4. Shooting material appropriate to the task - I believe that the shooting material is apropriate for the music video, for example our genre is pop-rock and our performers are all dressed in the way that a real pop-rock band would dress. Also we have fast cuts to the beat which can also be associated with the pop-rock genre

5. Selecting mise en scene - I believe that the location which is the stage showing the live performance of the band is a good example of selecting the mise en scene, also our performers all wear similar types of clothes to fit the genre of the music video which also fits the genre of pop-rock.

6. Editing so that the videos meaning is apparent - an example of editing we have used to show the video's meaning would be the fast cuts to the beat in the video showing the bands performance.

7. Using varied shot transitions - we did not use any transitions because we believed that it was more appropriate for the video to use straight cuts. The transitions we believe would not of gone well with the video.

8. Using sound with images - we have used well put together lip syncing throughout the video every word should match with the song and singer. We have also used a lot of thought beats through the video which make the video more entertaining to watch. We have also used guitars and drums which we also believe we have matched up pretty well for the music and the instruments.

What have you learned from your audiance feedback?

JW :Our feedback was generally positive about our video there were a lot of positive shots and techniques used which people liked. People liked the use of camera shots and angles we had in the video for example people mostly enjoyed the close up of the singer on an angle looking up.

RM: It was said by a few people that they thought the close ups of the singer were creative and enjoyable to watch; they also believed that these shots fit the genre of the music video.

JW: The viewers generally enjoyed the setting for this song a lot of people liked how the video was generally on the stage, they even enjoyed the clips showing the band messing around.

RM: The people generally enjoyed the lip-syncing and thought that we put the video together well especially the close ups which showed how the lip-syncing was done correctly.

JW: People who took time to comment on the video generally enjoyed the acting and performance of our band and the well put together editing of the video.

RM: Our audience also commented that they thought that the clothing and the look of the band fit the genre of the video quite well also we made sure that the members wore the same stuff which was prior for the video since it was shot on different days.

JW: It was also commented that the ending of the video where the band walk off was quite effective for the viewer as it made them feel like it was an good addition to make the music video seem more realistic like the original but not the original.

RM: There were also comments on that certain clips and shots may have been a bit too fast for the video and genre, and certain part’s of the video may have been out of sync on the first video however we have looked back at the video and fixed any mistakes that we may have over looked.

JW: The feedback telling us were we gone wrong is a vital part of making our video a good and enjoyable thing to watch so it is all constructive criticism. It was also commented that there could have been a few more locations used.

JW: However the original video by Fallout Boy just shows us the stage and a few behind the scenes shots through the video which is pretty similar to ours, we did not want to copy the video exactly but we wanted to keep it similar and adding different scenes that didn’t really make sense wouldn’t of worked in my opinion.

Break Down of Digipak (back)

The first step to creating our digipak for our band and music was to select and design a style forour pack. So after messing around with a few ideas we came across our design, which we all really liked and thought that it fit the music, quite well.

(This is the design of our Digipak and first step)

The second step to creating our digipak back was to then add the songs of course. However we had to choose a fitting font for the names of our music. We also had to choose a colour that was visible and looked good on our custom made background. So we chose ‘Rockwell Extra Bold’. We added a good number of songs to the back of our digipak and also made it smaller so we could fit more on the back.

(This is an example of the Rockwell Extra Bold writing on our custom made background and the second step to creating the back of our digipak)

The third and final step to create the back of our pack was to then add copy right information and add a bar code for our music video so it able to go through the checkout and scanned for shops of course. We used a logo and a statement for our song and music we also had to make sure it stood out from the rest of the music so we chose the same font but we turned it white.

(This is an example screen grab of our copy right information and bar code step three of the creation of the back of the digipak.)

Our finished product came out just how we expected it too; we liked the design, which we created and chose it to defiantly be on our digipak. The design came together with the three steps we took to create the perfect back of the digipak for ours.

(This is the finished product of the back of our digipak)

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.
