3. • The shot I have chosen to show a link between lyrics
and visuals is from Lil Jon’s song called ‘Get low’,
They are singing “Get Low” and in the music video
the girls are getting low.
4. • This shot from Miley Cyrus’ song ‘We can’t stop’ typifies the way a
record company would want their artist to be represented, because
Miley has started to make the point that she doesn’t want to be
seen as a Disney girl anymore and that she is grown up now. So this
shot of her putting on lipstick and look glamorous and grown up is
perfect because adults wear make up and children don’t.
5. • This shot from Amber Run’s song ‘Heaven’ illustrates how the music video
uses genre. Being in the indie genre means that they don’t really follow
conventional ways of doing things. Where a lot of music videos now a days
are made to attract people to watching them by having attractive women
in them etc, this band is just using a simply video which is just them
playing. This means people really listen to the song. Another thing that
emphaises this is how they are alone and in the spotlight and it is black all
around them. This portrays how they have done their own thing.
6. • This shot from Linken Parks song ‘Breaking the Habit’ is
the shot I have chosen to show intertextual reference. I
have chosen this shot because it follows the theme of
anime which has been used in many films such as,
Akira and Spirited away.
7. • In Drake’s song ‘Over’, I have chosen this shot to show a shot that
demonstrates the use of camera. I feel this shot shows the use of camera
because it is a medium shot and they have hollowed out Drake from
where he is sitting on the bed and put his silhouette inside it. This is
unconventional framing from rap because he is to the right of the frame
instead of in the centre of it which would make him the centre of
attention which is typical for the genre. We also see the silhouette and
body language of Drake which suggests the downbeat tone of the song.
8. • This shot from ‘Hold On We’re Going Home’ by Drake shows the
use of lighting and Mise-en-scene because the candles create a
solemn tone for the song as the song is about the girl getting
kidnapped. Not only that but because the only light is candle lit and
a bit of natural light then it is slightly darker than normal which also
helps to create this solemn tone for the song. The girl in the frame
also looks rather uneasy as if she is sad and something's not right.
9. • We got our idea of having masks in our film from Martin
Garrix’s song ‘Animals’. Another song that influenced the
making of our music video was ‘Toulouse’ by Nicky Romero.
In this music video they go to public places in their masks
which is what we have also included in our video.
11. • The shot that I have chosen from our video that
shows a link between lyrics and our video is this
one because the song is called “Invaders Must
Die” and throughout the video they say invaders
must die and this frame is of an alien that is dead.
12. • In this frame you see shots being poured. I believe this shot represents the
way the record company would want the artist to be seen because alcohol
is a big thing to the age group they are aiming this at and by having this in
it means that the audience can relate to the video, not only that but so
they can also get a clue of what might be coming up next so they carry on
listening to see the rest of the video.
13. • This establishing shot at the start of the video
illustrates how our video uses music genre
because the genre of music it is, has a very urban
theme to it. So this establishing shot at the start
showing this urban area fits in well.
14. • In this shot you see a UFO. I have chosen this shot to
show an intertextual reference in our music video
because it follows the theme of a lot of sci-fi films by
having a UFO in it. A film that includes something like
this is Signs.
15. • I have chosen this shot to demonstrate the use of
camera in our video. While doing this shot we
made sure that the camera was lower than the
alien so it looks like you’re looking up at the alien
to make him see bigger and more powerful.
16. • In this scene the alien is meant to be in a club. At this
point he is doing drugs such as cocaine so we made the
room quite dark as you can see. We used lighting in
this shot to darken the image because what he is doing
is bad but also to portray more of a nightclub look.
17. • I feel the mise-en-scene in this shot helps our video greatly.
Like I stated earlier because of the genre of music it goes
very well with urban areas. The music videos that go along
with songs like this are normally set in urban places, so we
used this skate park because we felt the graffiti in it gives
off a very nice urban look.
18. • These shots I have chosen show that we have
researched and watched other music videos. We got
our ideas of using masks from the music video Animals
and Toulouse and we also got the idea of setting the
video in a public place from the music video Toulouse.
