Draft of question 1


Mise-en-scene

The locations we used did link with the lyrics of the song we tried to link it to the flashbacks we had put in, so he was visiting the places he had good memories with her. “You used to come keep me company” we used a very vulnerable location with a white background to show he was thinking about her. We then continued to show flashbacks linking to that lyric to show the relationships was trying to fix and get her to trust him again. We used a park with mirrors around it and also link it to where they were playing in the park, he was going over how they used to be. I think this location was really good to use because the shot we used linked really well with the location and because it was raining when we filmed it added a certain emotion to the music video which the audience can relate to how he is feeling. The costume of the main actor was jeans, top and bomber jacket we wanted this look because we were doing a Bryson tiller song we wanted him to look and represent Bryson tiller, and in the Don’t video he wears a costume similar to this and that is one of the case studies we looked at as a group. Because we filmed on different days the actor wore different clothes this gave us a range of costumes that we could use and made the music video more real. Because music videos usually the artist changes into different costumes all the time so we wanted that to be clear in our music video. We decided to add more colour with our locations so we used a graffiti wall, this reinforced existing forms because a lot of music videos especially artist like Bryson tiller is associated with graffiti so we decided to use this location because of it also the Graffiti wall is of a girl so this could signify that he thought of her when he saw it and thought of her the colours behind him are feminine so this could relate to the girl as well in the video.

We used the phone call from Bryson tiller to add to our narrative of the music video, I think that it added a real connection to the video, this reinforced existing form and convention because certain music videos show the screen of someone calling them for example in the little mix hair video they each showed Leighanne calling them the camera filmed the phone, so we used that to show a clear narrative. Especially when she ignored it and kept on walking showed how they communicated, and really linked to the music and made the audience sympathize towards her.

The lighting in certain scenes linked towards the mood he was feeling.

   

 

Sound

The music cuts to the beat of the music, this connotes that he is disorientated and is thinking about his girlfriend and wants her back. He is switching between two times the past and the present and we showed that by cutting to the beat of the song to really show his emotion.

Certain scenes link to the lyrics of the song.

 

Camera  

The range of camera shots used in different scenes for example mid shots, a low shot and long shot, In the music video we used a range of different shots to show a range of different shots to show emotion between the audience and the actor in the video. So for example we used mid shots to show the relationship with him and the girl. To show how he was actually feeling about her when he lost her.

 

Editing

Fast cuts to the beat of the music.

Black and white effect.

Slowing the clips down connecting to the flash backs.

Fading into another clip.

Putting another clip on top of each other changing the opacity of one.

Technologies Plan

Question 1
  • For this question I am going to using Emaze I think that this technology would be good for question on because question one has a lot of theory that I have to include and Emaze is good for layout and is very easy to move text around it works with big amounts of text and is a fun creative way of presenting information.
Question 2
  • Question 2 I chose prezi because it is a shorter question and would be easier to break down this question into main bits this helps me to read and answer better this is why I have chosen prezi.
Question 3
  • For question 3 I am going to use thinglink this technology shows clear info graphics and would be perfect for this question and I have to comment on the audiences feedback on my music video and the print products. I can use images from my music video and a jpeg of my print product and comment what feedback I got from it and how acted on the feedback.
Question 4
  • This question I will be using slides I decided to use for technologies because this question is asking about your work with technologies has helped you. So slides would be a good way to organise it.
