Evaluation 1 part 1
The document analyzes common codes and conventions in pop ballad music videos. It discusses how pop ballad videos often link the visuals to the song lyrics, use dark lighting to reflect sad themes of love and loss, and feature simple yet fashionable clothing. The videos typically have slow editing and camera work to match the slow tempo, and use close-ups and few props or filters to effectively convey emotion. Both Adele's "Hello" and Sam Smith's "Writing's on the Wall" exemplify these conventions through their visuals and lyrics about love and heartbreak.
Music Video Analysis
The document analyzes and compares the music videos for "Into You" by Ariana Grande and "Kill Em With Kindness" by Selena Gomez. It discusses how the editing, shots, and visuals in each video are used to match the tempo, lyrics, and meaning of the songs. Specifically, it notes how Grande's video uses colorful shots and settings while Gomez's is black and white and more impressionistic. Both videos effectively relate the visuals to the music through techniques like cutting shots to the beat, showing close-ups of the artists, and subtle visual references to lyrics.
Goodwin theory 2
This document analyzes the music video for "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. It summarizes that the video represents the indie genre through its costumes, location, and body language. While the lyrics discuss a lack of change, the steady shots in the video do not relate to the rhythm of the music. The video aims to sell the artist as ignorant and rude to potentially appeal to female and male audiences looking for a "bad boy" figure to relate to. Close-ups and long shots are both used effectively to represent the artist's image and body language.
Music video basics
This document discusses different types of music videos, including performance, conceptual, and narrative videos. It provides examples and analysis of specific music videos to illustrate each type. A performance video features the artist singing and/or playing their song, such as One Direction's "That's What Makes You Beautiful" which shows the band singing in different beachside locations while wearing the same costumes. Conceptual videos are built around an idea rather than featuring a narrative story, such as REM's "Everybody Hurts" which depicts various people in cars on a highway dealing with problems. Narrative videos tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end that may or may not relate to the song's lyrics, like Sia's "Titanium
Location and artist mise en-scene
The document discusses the mise-en-scene, locations, and artists for a music video. For the male artist, a rough, 1990s indie rock style will be portrayed through relaxed clothing but older era fashion in low key lighting showing half his face. The female artist will be shown applying makeup and adjusting her appearance frequently in full lighting, with bright red lips as the sole color in her outfit to portray a lustful, appearance-focused character. Shooting will primarily take place in a black box drama studio to suggest the male artist is trapped, and in locations in London at night to match the serious tone through urban lights.
9 shot analysis - Taylor Swift (Safe & Sound)
This document analyzes the 9 shots in Taylor Swift's music video for "Safe and Sound" through their visual elements and symbolism. The shots establish a misty, empty forest setting through wide shots of trees. Medium shots show the artist moving through the woods to illustrate the music. Close-ups express her facial emotions of despair and emphasize lyrics at the end. Visuals like bare trees, white sky, and the artist's plain dress convey a sense of purity, coldness and emptiness, reflecting the song's message.

Adele promoted her album and herself by creating the soundtrack for the James Bond film Skyfall, using clips and imagery from the film in her music video and album packaging.

Question 1
The music video uses and develops several conventions of real music videos. It tells a fragmented love story narrative, as Andrew Goodwin notes most music videos do. It illustrates and amplifies lyrics from the song, showing a woman falling when the lyrics say "don't fall in love" and depicting a card game representing the line "you're trying to play me." The video also employs voyeurism through the seductive dancing of the female performer and clothing of the male artist. Finally, it focuses on building the star image of the artist through frequent close-ups and depicting his lavish lifestyle with many pursuing women, developing his "bad boy" image, as real music videos commonly do through lifestyle portrayals that create aspirational

Photos
The group decided to film their music video in their school's drama studio to avoid being distracted by a specific location. The drama studio can be completely blacked out using curtains, allowing them to light specific areas or make shots a certain color without interference from outside light. Two actresses would wear tight black dresses to look provocative and be part of a party or in the artist's mind. The main artist would wear an unbuttoned shirt to look smart in shots. A smoke machine would be used to help create illusions of being in the artist's imagination. Balloons would also be incorporated to reference The Weeknd's album covers and create a party atmosphere. A realistic poker game between the girls would show who wins the attention
Audience
The Weeknd's target audience is groups of 15 to late 20s-year-old female friends who enjoy hanging out together listening to music. They frequently shop at clothing stores like River Island and Topshop, and participate in group activities like going to the movies, bowling, and ice skating. The Weeknd's music will be widely promoted through media outlets and in places this audience frequents to increase awareness of his new music among this commercial demographic.
Record label research
Universal Republic Records would be the perfect record label for The Weeknd because as the daughter label of Universal Music Group, they have the resources and artists like Amy Winehouse and Jay Sean to help promote The Weeknd's music on the radio, TV, and through touring worldwide. As a major label, Universal Republic Records would spend money promoting The Weeknd and his albums to increase sales and exposure, unlike what a smaller independent label could provide due to limited funds and promotion abilities.

Adele someone like you
- 2. Adele - Someone Like You This music video develops the conventions as the artist continuously sings throughout and at certain times stops singing when the lyrics are still continued and stares on wards as we see her facial expressions. This allows the viewers to connect with the artist and empathise her emotions. Steve Archers theory about narrative and performance really applies in this music video as the artist is walking around in paris, the most romantic city in the world, singing a heartbreaking song. Only to get to the end of the music video and her 'lover' walks away from her, which the song is initially about. Also within this music video the artist 'Adele's' star image is perpetuated. As it continues to associate iconography that she usually is surrounded by for example her hair tied by and wearing dark clothing.
