Class Task : Analyasis of Artists Who Relate To Pink

As a class we watched Pink - 'fucking perfect' and discussed how the narrative and how it engadged the audience...

The Narrative:

• Reflecting her childhood
• She herself was her target audience at her age. 
• Teddy connotes her inner girl, reminding herself of her childhood.
• Narrative is expected as there is a consistancy throughout all of her videos. 

Engadging Audience:

• Can relate to her and what she is going through
• Hard hitting - but not explict
• Shock factor - holds attention of the audience
• Sex at beginning catches instant attention.

I chose Kelly Clarkson - 'Because Of You' because they both talk about they're childhood and how people had hurt them, they both seem angry as well at how they're childhood turned out. Therefore I decided to look into the Narrative and how it Engaged the Audience...

The Narrative:

• Looking back on her childhood and how she doesn't want the same childhood for her daughter, perhaps referring to how her mother or father treated her.
• comparing her childhood to her daughters.
• Wants to be a good mother and blames her mother for how she is now.  

Engaging Audience:

• the climax near the end the shots speed up and become cut quicker
• Their is constant moving in some shape or form of either the camera or the actors.
• The need to want to follow the story line as it starts off with an argument you want to know how it turns out. 
• Can relate to her and what she went through.

Filming of 30 Second Task.

Today i filmed the 30 second task, it wasn't very planned out as the original plan was the film on monday however people weren't bringing the cameras back in time therefore we ended up filming today, we did it in music block so we could use all of the instruments however the setting was a bit boring therefore we asked the schools cleaners if they had anything and they provided us with a massive roll of what looked like tin foil therefore we covered the walls in that.

Molly On The Drums.

Gemma On The Bass.

Me On The Tambourine.

David Singing And Playing The Guitar.

We stuck to our storyboard and shot different angles of everyone and tried as hard as we could to fit everything together and in sync, now all we need to do is edit the footage.

30 Second Mini Task.

Title: Golden Earring - Radar Love
Task : We were set a task to create our own video for the song "radar love" by golden earring to get us into the frame of mind of think creatively and getting used to editing and filming again. We were only given 3 lessons to plan, 3 to film and about 3 to edit and create the first 30 seconds of the music video. Me and my partner have decided to base our movements around the music, the video has to be purely performance and therefore we have visited the music department and asked to use their drums, guitar, bass guitar, tambourine and microphone to re-create our own version using all the same instruments and with the idea to make it look as realistic as possible.
We created this story board to help us whilst filming as we plan to introduce each instrument the same time the music does and create shots around the music therefore when there is a beat within each beat the camera angle will change and this is what we came up with...

Researching into Music Videos.

I chose this video as i love the simplicity of it and all the close ups of random objects such as a train ticket to help along the narrative giving the audience little clues and how natural everything is as though she isnt performing it is just an insight into her life. Although i enjoy the calmness of the music i think i would struggle with using this song as its so well know and i know the video so well although i do like the ideas of it to perhaps use in another song as well there is no significant drop in the chorus which is what i would want to include however i do like the ideas and narrative creating this music video.

I enjoy the strong beat this song instantly creates as soon as it comes on and the massive drop leading into the first versus creating an impact on the audience when Skepta enters the song. As well i like how the rhythm is so fast and there is so many possibilities with a song like this you could branch into although i feel like this video is mainly based around performance and i would personally believe it would work better with a mixture of a narrative and performance. However i also like the idea of the fact that whilst they are performing they have a use of a vibrant and constantly moving because although the camera isnt moving a lot the background is which keeps the audience focused. I also liked their use of mise-en-scene and how it connotes the singers lifestyles

Researching into Music Videos.

I chose this video as i admire how they have their use of black and white which almost has an instant effect on you making you think why is it in black and white and close ups during the beginning of him splashing water onto his face creating a narrative then as the tempo rises they move into a performance scene of everyone raving at a party and dancing and jumping up and down which is what me and my partner were talking about wanting to create in our video, the use of black and white works well in this scene and i believe wouldn't have such an effect as if it was in ordinary colour as it making the lighting more prominent.

I love this video because me and my partner want to include a lot of editing and try to make it work well, and i love the lego men in this one as they dance around as well in the opening they almost zoom through streets which i like the look off and how as if every think is fast forwarded which is reinforced by the quickening music. I also love the build up to the chorus and how it flows into it instantly getting louder and creating a whole different atmosphere as the chorus and versus are so different.

Here are some of the editing parts to the video in which drew me to it...
