Generation and
Research

RESEARCH & IDEA
GENERATION
Select a song/track that you like [or don’t like!]
Generate three ideas for music videos
employing styles, techniques and conventions
that we have looked at in previous sessions.
Explore how you could interpret the song
differently using different methods
You can add any extra info you think is
relevant, images, mind maps, etc
For quick mind maps you could use bubbl.us
to generate these

RESEARCH & IDEA
GENERATION
✦ 1st idea: animation

RESEARCH & IDEA
GENERATION
My idea is to create an animation with
simple drawings but either a colourful
background or a colourful drawing. The
drawings would match the beat of the
song and maybe have a slight reference
to the lyrics (not to look like a lyric
video but so that it is not completely
unliked to the lyrics).

RESEARCH & IDEA
GENERATION
✦ 2nd idea: Animation in footage

RESEARCH & IDEA
GENERATION
My idea is to create an animation on top
of what we will film in college; again,
my idea is to make something colourful
to give the animation a more happy and
vivid look, also to improve the
movement of the video, make it more
dynamic.

RESEARCH & IDEA
GENERATION
✦ 3rd idea: Chroma Key

RESEARCH & IDEA
GENERATION
My idea is to use the chroma key to
make the videos that we film accurately
match the theme we are going for (this
is because the college building, or
places around York, may not be exactly
what we are looking for so the chroma
key would help us put a more
appropriate scenario to our videos).

RESEARCH
Watch a selection of videos to get your ideas started,
make note of a minimum of 5 – add extra slides,
screenshot the video and in bullet point note down info
in terms of camera, editing, art design, performance, etc
and how this might link to your production
Hint!
You’ve already done this in
your case study, so you can
summarise that here where
relevant

RESEARCH
In my research on Taylor Swift’s music videos, I found out some characteristics that her
as artist of both pop and country has in her music videos.
Genre conventions (country):
- Simple melody with deeper meaning;
- Storyline running throughout the song;
- Music video reinforce the storyline in order to visually bring it to life;
- Follow a narrative to portray the story empirically;
- The artist is commonly the main character in the video.
Genre conventions (pop):
- Link between lyrics and visuals to help people remember the lyrics;
- Link between music and visuals to suit the theme of the song;
- Bright lighting;
- Bright object/costumes;
- Young people;
- References to the artist’s name;
- Dance and/or singing performances;
- Close ups of the artist.

Camerawork/editing:
- Eye level angle shot;
- Low angle shot;
- High angle shot;
- Bird’s eye angle;
- Close ups;
- Medium shots;
- Wide shots.
- Visual effects;
- Fast-cut montage;
- Chroma key;
Critical approaches:
I discovered that most videos have a
message, for some of them the message
is very easily identified, and we don’t
have to think much about it to work it
out, while as others have a deeper
message; particularly in Taylor Swift’s
videos I found out that she likes to hide
messages about her own life in the
lyrics and videos.
Intertextuality:
- Watching Taylor Swift’s videos, I
found out that she does not use
references from other movies/pieces
as much, however, when she does, it
is very rich in references and very
well made like she did in Love Story
(reference to Romeo & Juliet) and
Bad blood (refence to Kill bill, The
Hunger Games and Divergent).
Watching other artists' work I
concluded that artists like to use
reference from well known and
loved movies because that attracts
more people and tends to make them
nostalgic and so like the video clip
more which means they’ll come
back to watch it more times and that
means more money for the people
involved.

CONVENTIONS YOU PLAN TO
USE
What are the conventions of your musical genre? How
could you use them?
I’m going to use a house track for my music video. Differently from the genres I researched
in my case study (country & pop), conventions for a house music video are:
- Music videos for house/dance tend to not have many codes and conventions, this will
allow me more freedom when creating an idea for a video;
- They tend to feature videos about love, sexuality, having fun, and things a young
audience could relate to;
- The videos tend to feature clubbing scenes, women with minimal clothing,
jumping/dancing around, pools, UV paint, drinking, the atmosphere is usually wild and
crazy (but I do not intend to explore this kind of thing in my music video);
- The artist of the song tends to not feature in the music video as they normally have
random narratives that don’t usually have a direct link to the lyrics;
- They are upbeat videos that are dominated by party lifestyles.

MIND MAP OF IDEAS
[SUMMARY OF IDEAS]
Include the mind map you
started last week

SUMMARY
5 opportunities of your ideas; what would it allow you to
do? Expand your skills? Refine something you already
know how to do?
➢ I don’t have any experience with filming, only with photography so the opportunity I’ll
have while using the camera will allow me to gain experience and skill in filming;
➢ I have some experience with editing which will allow me to not struggle too much while
doing my project and so I believe this project will help me expand my skills in that area;
➢ With this project I’ll have the opportunity to work with my own ideas and expand my
personal creativity with the freedom I have;
➢ I’ll also have the opportunity to learn about different techniques used in the music videos
I watch daily and allow myself to understand the process needed to get that result;
➢ It will obligate me to get out of my comfort zone and gain experience experimenting
with different elements of production.

SUMMARY
5 restrictions to your ideas. Think about locations, cast
and personnel. Are any elements of your idea really
difficult? Do you have enough time?
➢ I don’t have experience with animation, and I think that will be one of the most difficult
things for me to do in this project;
➢ Filming in college and on the street can be challenging because of all the people and
because the places available might not be what I envision for my project;
➢ I think another difficulty I might have with this project is the cast, because I don’t want
to appear in the video, but I might not find people that are willing to do it;
➢ Maybe I won’t find the elements I need (in terms of objects) to match the “theme” of my
video;
➢ I could have problems with the equipment and not be able to film (this has happened
previously).

FINAL IDEA –
ARTIST/TITLE/INFO
Genre info (Alok):
*Dance/Electronica, House/deep house.*
- Deep House is known for its complex melody, with a predominance of minor and
sometimes sharp notes on instruments, musical tempo between 110 to 120 BPM, use of
chromatic chords underlying most sequences, and a vibe of Ambient music, Soul or Lounge
for vocals (if any). In early compositions (1984-1994), Jazz music influences were more
frequent, using more complex chords than simple triads that are kept for a long time and
give the compositions a bit of a sense of dissonance. The use of vocals has become more
common in Deep House than in many other forms of house music, including soulful vocals
(if vocals are included), slow and concentrated dissonant melodies, with a smooth and
elegant demeanor. Deep House songs rarely reach a climax ("peak of euphoria"), unlike
other House music subgenres, but persist as a comfortable and relaxing sound. Sometimes
this rhythm is confused with progressive house, but this one contains more variations.
- Electronic Dance Music (or EDM), seen mainly in nightclubs, or in an environment that is
centred on dance and entertainment, such as clubs, raves or parties, is a branch of electronic
music, which is produced for commercial purposes, covering the public of all other genres.
Contrary to popular belief, EDM is not just any kind of electronic music. They usually play
at the biggest festivals and consequently on radios and gyms.

FINAL IDEA –
ARTIST/TITLE/INFO
Genre info (Melim):
*Reggae/Pop*
- Reggae is a musical genre created in Jamaica in the late 1960s, from the ska and
rocksteady genres. Although sometimes used in a generic sense to refer to most types of
Jamaican music. Reggae is based on a rhythmic style characterized by accentuation in
the weak beat, known as skank. The style is usually slower than ska and rocksteady, and
its bars are usually accented on the second and fourth beat, with the base guitar serving
either to emphasize the third beat, or to hold the second chord until the fourth is touched.
It is primarily this "third beat", its speed and use of complex bass lines that differentiate
reggae from rocksteady, although later styles have incorporated these innovations
independently.
- Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated during the 1950s in the United
States and the United Kingdom. It is generally seen as synonymous with "popular
music", although this term is used for all musical styles arising in the people, as opposed
to classical music, made by an intellectual class. Pop music is eclectic, and often
incorporates elements from other styles such as urban, dance, rock, Latin, soul and
country. However, there are key elements that define pop music: songs in the genre are
generally short-medium in length, written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus
structure), employ choruses and repeated beats, hooks, are over-produced. , the lyrics
address universal themes, such as love - nothing too specific to reach a greater number
of people -, which makes pop music easily appealing to any listener, making it the most
commercial music genre.

FINAL IDEA – TRACK
SUMMARY
Summary/analysis
of track [consider
meaning, content,
duration, pace and
style of the song]
Meaning:
Melim said: “We believe that art has this power to bring awareness, reflection, to educate, nurture
the soul and change our emotional state for the better so we wrote the song ‘Somos’ with love, in
the hope that our voice will play. people's hearts and awaken the eyes of each one to the
importance of us giving ourselves and acting with solidarity.”
“Somos” was made at the request of the OMO brand for the charity project “Criança Esperança”.
The work, which is already on all digital platforms, will have its streams reverted to support the
project. That way, every time the song is listened to, a donation will be made to the “Poder do
SOMOS” campaign.
So basically, the song gives a positive message about how we are connected to each other and
how we should be kind and solidary because, as the song says: “We are all we have”.

FINAL IDEA – TRACK
SUMMARY
Summary/analysis
of track [consider
meaning, content,
duration, pace and
style of the song]
Content: The song talks about solidarity and love towards one another and the planet.
Duration: the song is
2:51 minutes long, has 11
stanzas and 43 verses.
Pace: the rhythm of the music
itself is smooth and a little slow,
however with the beat added by
DJ Alok the music got a more
danceable beat but without
losing the delicacy of the
vocals.
The key of the song is D Major,
and the BPM is 128.
Style of the song: It is a very
dancing song, with a beautiful
lyric but still very upbeat, the
kind of music that could play in
a club but still has a message.

FINAL IDEA – YOUR IDEA
Your creative
concept/video
synopsis [describe
your interpretation,
use of imagery or
narrative, genre
conventions, etc]
Because the lyrics talk about solidarity and love towards one another and the planet, my idea is not
to show anything solid, like a specific theme but film places and people in their normal routine,
doing something nice towards other people or the planet; I want to do it that way because I want to
show the love and affection people have in their normal days, give a beauty and highlight to these
things, best if not scripted because is the truest way to show the reality. If possible, I would like to
film people taking care of nature (that can be as small as watering the plants to planting trees etc.);
as I’m not sure if I’ll find that, my second idea is to just film nature (such as trees in parks, flowers
etc.); If I have the time to do so, I would like to make some of these videos in time lapse.

Examples of time lapse I might do:

Your creative
concept/video
synopsis [describe
use of imagery or
narrative, genre
conventions, etc]
About the effects, I plan to use neon scribbles and/or normal scribbles in the video because that
gives a “special touch”, highlighting the beauty and the fun in the normal day-to-day routine; I
also plan to use filters in the footage because as I’m going to film in the street the light is not
always ideal for filming and so that will fix any lighting problems.
About genre conventions (house) I plan to use “Music videos for house/dance tend to not have
many codes and conventions, this will allow more freedom when creating a video”; and bright
lighting if possible.

You need to assess the viability of your production and

Much of this task is hypothetical, which means you will
need to investigate standard costings for such a

considering which equipment you would need and
resources, etc

LOCATIONS
The places I plan to film are around the city center, in parks and near my house, I’m not yet sure if
I’m going to film in college, but if I do I plan on filming outside of the college building.
There are not big limitations about my filming plan, the biggest limitation I see is the weather that
can be difficult to work around, especially if it rains but I’ll check on the time app to see when the
weather will be good for filming; the distance is not a problem because I can take a bus and the
places I have in mind are not far away; the access is also not a problem because I plan on filming
in public places so I won’t need permission for that; the only cost I’ll really have is the bus ticket
for every time I go somewhere to film which is £3.20 per day.

EQUIPMENT
In terms of filming equipment, I won’t need to borrow anything from college because I have my
own camera at home so I’m going to use it to film everything I need; my second option if my
camera fails will be my phone, because it has a good camera. The reason why I don’t want to
borrow equipment from college is because I would have to take them outside because I don’t want
to film in college, and it would be harder to get permission to take the equipment home and
because it is a big responsibility as it is expensive equipment; the only equipment I might take
from college is if I need anything to do the animations in my video.
I won’t need to hire any places because I’ll use public places.

FACILITIES
I plan on editing everything in Premiere pro and After effects, those can be found in the college
computers so I can edit everything from here; if I really need it, I can install these in my personal
computer and do work at home to gain more time. Because I’m working both at college and at
home, I won’t be needing any special places to complete my project.

PERSONNEL
I’m going to be doing all the work on my own; I believe it is an advantage that I’ll work on my
own because I can work at my own pace and in my own time.
Strengths:
- I have some experience with photography that can be useful when filming;
- As I'm using my own camera, I’ll have less trouble because I already know how to operate it.
Weaknesses:
- Don’t have filming experience;
- Don't have experience in making and editing videos.
My idea is to use people on the street, my family and friends to help me get the footage I need;

PROPS/COSTUME/ETC
Costumes won't be used as the idea of the video is to use normal day-to-
day clothes. Props also won't be used as no specific object will be
needed in the filming of this music video.

PRE-PRODUCTION:
VISUAL PLANNING
This section is concerned with the visual planning of your
music video
You should use this section to develop the sequencing or your
video, establish the relationship between the visuals and the
track itself and create a structure for you to follow when
filming
It is important that you ‘pre-visualise’ the video before you
make it; it will make filming and production a more
streamlined process
The following tasks are part of your visual planning
 Pre-visualisation and concept boards
 Storyboarding
 Shot list

Breakdown your track into it basic sections [e.g.
intro, verse, chorus, verse, etc.] and apply broad
visual ideas to each section
You can use this as the master template for your
production, then add more shots to each section
when you develop your full visual plan
You should create a slide showing all the sections
of the song, then add a slide for each section with
timings, lyrics, what happens and details on
specific shots
You could storyboard and shot list each section
as you go, to break up the process.

SHOT DESCRIPTION
Shot name and which
scenes will be used on
Shot description
Low angle shot (scenes 2 and 6) A low-angle shot is a shot in which the camera angle
is positioned below the eye line of the subject,
pointing upward.
Eye level shot (scenes 3, 15 and
17)
A shot where the camera is positioned directly at a
character or characters' eye level, considered to be a
“neutral” camera angle.
Full shot (scenes 4, 9 and 11) Frames character from head to toes, with the subject
roughly filling the frame.
Medium shot (scenes 5 and 10) Shows part of the subject in more detail; for a person,
a medium shot typically frames them from about waist
up.
Long shot (scene 8) Shows the subject from top to bottom; for a person,
this would be head to toes, though not necessarily
filling the frame.
Medium long shot (scene 12) Intermediate between Full Shot and Medium Shot.
Shows subject from the knees up.
Close up shot (scene 16) Fills the screen with part of the subject, such as a
person’s head/face for example.

camera H&S PP on Bb as a starting
point
Completing a generic filming
assessment would be a start, then
you can add specialist/site specific
risks as you progress your
production
Remember, a Risk Assessment is an
ongoing document, you should
evaluate if anything changes in
production and when you put
control measures in place
You should add the table to each
call sheet for each location

4th location: Bridge Street.

RISK ASSESSMENT
For the Basilica di San Pietro (Vatican) the
video is already pre-recorded (from my
vacation in Italy in 2019) so a risk
assessment in this case is not needed as the
video has already been made.

CONTINGENCY
PLANNING
Things go wrong
Your contingency plan is there to give you a
backup or to minimise the effect on
production
You should consider the following areas:
Technical, Location, Personnel and
Organisational areas [about 5 potential issues
for each]
Use the form in pre-production folder on
Blackboard

CONTINGENCY PLAN
Technical:
1. Camera runs out of battery – Use phone to finish the filming for that
day;
2. Tripod breaks – Carry on filming without the tripod and buy another
one if possible;
3. iPhone runs out of battery – Bring a portable charger;
4. Camera is not working properly – Try to solve the problem, if not
possible, go home and finish it another day;
5. Camera breaks – Use phone to finish the filming.

CONTINGENCY PLAN
Location:
1. Rain – Still try to film if the rain is light, if not possible, reschedule;
2. Too busy – Film in areas where there are less people;
3. Place closed – Try to still film in the same day, maybe other shots, if not
possible, reschedule;
4. Impossible to access a specific location on a specific day – Use that day to film
someplace else until the other one is avaliable;
5. Place conditions make impossible to film e.g., slippery after rain – Use
appropriate clothing for conditions (footwear, coat).

CONTINGENCY PLAN
Personnel:
1. People are unavaliable – If people are unavaliable to film on a certain day,
reschedule;
2. Someone gets hurt – Treat the injury and continue filming if possible;
3. People don't feel comfortable filming a certain scene – Make changes to the
scene so that everyone feels comfortable;
4. Someone has an emergency – Try to carry on without that person, if not
possible reschedule;
5. Unexpected conflict between the people involved in the filming – Talk to
everyone (individually if necessary) to try and solve things.

CONTINGENCY PLAN
Organisation:
1. An important item is forgotten – Go back home to pick it up;
2. Have less time than expected – Get time from weekends to catch up;
3. A scene planned is impossible to film – Make changes to the scene or change
the whole scene;
4. Weather makes impossible to film – Reschedule or film somewhere else;
5. Confuses places and scenes and loses time – Film on weekend.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE
Your schedule should budget a total of 10 hours for
production, that is for the filming and editing of your
project.
You should plan when you’re filming and how you intend
to use the in-class days on your timetable/class
schedule

SCHEDULE
Week Activity
1. (between 29/10/21 and 31/10/21) Filming – 3-4 hours. (filming will be done during half term,
mostly in the centre of York, I won't use college hours for
filming.)
2. (between 01/11/21 and 09/11/21) Editing – 6-7 hours. (My editing will be done in college in my
class time but if need more time I'll edit it at home.)

CLEARANCE AND
PERMISSIONS
Any place you film and anyone you use in the
