Textual analysis
The music video for Arctic Monkeys' "Brainstorm" opens with an extreme long shot of the band from behind in a warehouse setting. The video cuts between close-ups and long shots of the band members playing, a green screen with pixels, shots of dancers, and unrelated black and white pictures. This fast editing creates a "storm-like" effect and suggests there is no narrative. The band wears casual clothes like jeans, giving them a relaxed alternative rock style. While the lead singer is featured most, he is never shown front-on, keeping the focus on the music over the band's image. The increasing pace of the editing matches the mood of the song. The video ends with the lone drum beat and long
Music Video Analysis - Impossible By James Arthur
The music video for James Arthur's song "Impossible" primarily uses footage from his time on the X Factor competition, which he won. While the lyrics describe heartbreak, the video focuses on Arthur's success and perseverance on the show. Scenes showing sadness create a juxtaposition with the extremely positive nature of his victory. The black and white footage distinguishes the past scenes from the competition. The video had to be made quickly and cheaply using existing footage due to the song being selected for Arthur's final performance and release shortly after the show.
Movie trailers
The document summarizes three movie trailers: Mamma Mia!, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and In Her Skin. For each trailer, it provides information on the USP, sound, narrative/genre, editing, and subtitles. The Mamma Mia! trailer entices audiences with its ABBA soundtrack and depiction of the musical plot through dancing and singing shots. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre uses unsettling sounds to build tension as it shows friends being killed in the horror film. In Her Skin gradually increases music intensity and uses close-up shots to depict the true story's emotions through editing and subtitles.
If today was your last day
The song "If Today Was Your Last Day" was released in 2009 by the band Nickelback. The music video acts out the lyrics of the song through the perspectives of different characters performing good deeds, taking place in a natural environment. The video uses medium shots of the lead singer during band scenes and shot reverse shots between other band members during the chorus, while also showing the full band playing on a small stage surrounded by dangling lightbulbs.
Music Video Analysis - Impossible - James Arthur
The music video for James Arthur's song "Impossible" primarily uses footage from his time on the X Factor competition show, where he performed the song. While the lyrics describe heartbreak, the video focuses on Arthur's victory and success. Scenes showing sadness create a juxtaposition with the extremely positive nature of his X Factor win. The black and white color scheme further enhances this contrast between emotions. The video had to be made quickly and cheaply after the song's release, so it reused performance footage from the competition show where Arthur first sang "Impossible".

The music video for "Fall At Your Feet" shows Saint Raymond singing and playing guitar while intercut with scenes of him and a girl enacting the narrative of the song's lyrics in a field. The camera work and editing match elements of the song and increase in pace during faster parts, while focusing primarily on Saint Raymond
Music video idea's
The document proposes ideas for two music videos. The first is for the song "Bones" by Young Guns, featuring solely performance shots of the band members playing in rural scenery. The second is for Bring Me The Horizon's "True Friends", combining performance shots of the band in a dimly lit room with a story of the singer confronting three people tied to chairs, who betrayed him as shown in flashbacks on TVs.

Styles, Conventions and Techniques
This document discusses various styles, conventions and techniques used in music videos, including:
1) In-concert footage shows bands performing live on stage or at events, while "as live" videos depict studio performances made to look live. Cutting shots to the beat of the music is also discussed.
2) Narrative videos tell a story that relates to the song's lyrics, often following a lead singer. Surrealist videos use unusual visuals and effects with little narrative connection to the lyrics.
3) Other techniques mentioned include synergy between a video and another media property, allusions to real events, pastiches mimicking other styles, and homages paying respect to other artists. Impressionist videos
Lover not fighter product research
The video features Tinie Tempah and Labrinth as lovers searching for women represented as fighters. It shows them initially alone on the coast and walking towards a bull ring where they encounter two women in sports cars. This sets up a narrative of opposites between the male lovers and female fighters. Throughout the video, the men are dressed in high fashion while the women are portrayed as aggressive in short provocative clothing. By the end, the opposites are resolved as the groups begin to interact and find the love they were seeking.
Assignment 2 - Performance music videos
This document discusses and analyzes three music videos from different genres:
1) Slipknot's "Psychosocial" metal video highlights intense guitar playing and scary masked characters to portray the band as dangerous. Scenes of the whole band playing by fire further this image.
2) Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk" pop video features the singer dancing and singing skillfully. Long shots show off his dancing abilities, and close-ups focus on his singing face as the central focal point.
3) Eminem's "Rap God" rap video portrays the rapper in baggy, rebellious clothing. Close-ups emphasize his rapping skills while keeping him as the constant focus,
Incidental and theme music
Incidental and theme music play an important role in films. Composers work with directors to create music that enhances the emotional tone of scenes and gives audiences cues to process what is happening. Theme music allows audiences to associate a recognizable musical piece with a specific film or TV series. It is essential that both incidental and theme music match the intended tone and atmosphere of their associated visuals for the work to be effective. Examples of well-known theme music include the orchestral themes from Star Wars and Avengers films and the subtle guitar-orchestral theme from James Bond films.
Types of music video - A2 Media
There are three main types of music videos: performance videos which primarily show the artist performing the song, often with additional footage to maintain audience attention; narrative videos which tell a story that may relate to the song's lyrics or theme through scenes acted by the artist or other actors; and conceptual videos which are based around special effects and unusual ideas, making them harder to film and more expensive than the other types.
A2 music video
The document discusses concepts for three potential music videos. The first would be for the Ed Sheeran song "Thinking Out Loud" and would involve a slow-tempo lip sync performance in a recording studio with landscape shots. The second would be a black-and-white, narrative music video for Drake's "Brand New" about a failing relationship. The third would be a colorful, comedic, and fast-paced lip sync performance for N-Dubz's "Secrets" with clips relating to the meaningless lyrics.

Music Videos I Admire
The document summarizes the author's favorite music videos and why they admire each one. For the Bullet for My Valentine - Waking the Demon video, they liked the contrast of performance and storyline, how the music follows the narrative of the boy being bullied. For Young Guns - Stitches, they appreciated how the black and white visuals relate to the colorless feeling of the song and the confusing cuts mirror the lyrics. For Avalanche City - Love Love Love, they admired how the animated video tells a clear love story narrative that connects to the upbeat song. For Sum 41- In too deep, they enjoyed how it uses a swimming pool metaphor and features both a performance and funny short narrative. For Placebo - Meds

Storyboard
This document outlines a storyboard for a music video featuring skateboarding and surfing scenes to depict themes of momentum, power, and escapism. The storyboard includes 49 shots consisting of establishing shots, action shots synchronized to the music, close-ups of the artist, and time-lapse scenes of the ocean, a plane, and skateboarding to end with a calm scene matching the ending of the song. The shots are planned to mirror increases and decreases in the music's intensity through the video's imagery and pace.
Third analysis!!!
The video analyzes the music video for the Foo Fighters song "The Pretender". It discusses the mise-en-scene including the props, clothing, lighting, and setting of the warehouse. It also covers the camerawork using different shots and angles. The sound is diegetic from the band playing. Editing uses cuts between shots and pacing to match the music. The video depicts a confrontation between the band and riot police authorities.
Narrative music videos
The document analyzes and summarizes three music videos based on how their narratives relate to the song lyrics. For the first video, "Tribute" by Tenacious D, the narrative in the music video directly follows and depicts the story told in the song lyrics. The second video, "Hall of Fame" by The Script, tells the narrative of a boy who works hard at boxing and succeeds, matching the message of perseverance in the song. However, the third video, "Feel The Love" by Rudimental, shows people riding horses with a narrative that does not relate to the lyrics at all.
James morrision
This document analyzes a music video by James Morrison and Nelly Furtado that features both a male and female artist. The author notes several elements of the video including mid shots of the artists performing, close ups that emphasize their roles, slow paced editing with simple cuts and fades, limited locations but varied shots of James, and the use of the guitar as an important prop. The transparent depiction of Nelly and a shot of their hands touching through glass are highlighted as clever uses of technology that could provide ideas for filming two artists together.
Conventional analysis
The document analyzes camerawork, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene conventions in the music video "Always Where I Need to Be" by The Kooks. There are many close-ups of band members playing instruments. Shots are edited quickly to match the upbeat tempo. Sound is intended to be diegetic when the band plays, and non-diegetic during other scenes. Costumes contribute to the indie genre theme, such as the lead singer's fluffy coat and tight jeans. Settings also aim to appear run-down and scruffy.
Music video director
Robby Starbuck is an American music video director from Los Angeles. He has directed videos for rock and punk artists like Snoop Dogg, Yellowcard, and Smashing Pumpkins. Starbuck typically includes many shots of the band playing to make the video seem like a live performance. He also uses close-ups of the frontman to show facial expressions and tell the story. The tempo of shots varies to match the music, either in slow motion or fast forwarding. Weather often matches the mood of the song, with rain during breakup songs or brightness for major key songs.
Pitch 2
The document is a pitch for a music video for the song "Yatahaze" by the band Dredg. The video will feature split-screen footage of each band member performing their part of the song separately in different locations to create the illusion that they are playing together. It will also incorporate narrative scenes of the band members preparing for a live performance. Shooting each musician individually will allow for an easy and low-cost production. The target audience is teenagers aged 13 to 20.
Focus group questions
Harry Wright conducted a focus group to get opinions on romantic comedy films and marketing. The questions gauged how often people watch romantic comedies, their thoughts on a sample film poster's effectiveness in promoting the genre, what makes for a good or bad poster, suitable color schemes for related products, memorable successful films, the impact of trailers, and what people want to see on romantic comedy posters and in a magazine article.
Script
The document provides background for an apocalyptic film or video. Nuclear war has left the environment and society in ruins, and people are struggling to survive. A gang leader asks two former educators, Lenny and Rodney, to create an educational video to teach the gang members how not to die in the wasteland. Lenny and Rodney film a demonstration on identifying radiated dirt, but when Lenny tries to remove the radiation from the dirt, he ends up falling and getting a mouthful of it, panicking along with Rodney. Their educational video attempt is humorous but intended to provide practical survival skills to the gang.
Evaluation zoe
Planning was helpful for the production stage by creating a production proposal, mind map, and shot list. The planning documents outlined the film's genre, ideas, and achievable scenes to film. During production, tasks were split equally between planning, filming, and editing. The individual brought different skills, with one more comfortable acting and the other knowledgeable about composition. Technical elements like camera shots, sound, editing, mise en scene, and location were effectively used but could be improved with more time. Key skills to improve for A2 productions include developing editing skills and knowledge of the Adobe Premier Elements software.
Hostage
A captor named Ivan is holding four hostages - Geoff, Tyrone, Fred, and Connor - captive and tied to chairs in a dark room. When Ivan removes Connor's gag, Connor insults Ivan which causes Ivan to punch Connor in the face, knocking him out. Ivan threatens the other hostages that they must start talking or they will end up like Connor. The other three hostages remain silent in fear as Connor lies unconscious on the ground.

Advanced Production Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses a music video project analyzing conventions in music video genres. It summarizes how the student's video incorporates conventions through costume, band member roles, and a two-thirds performance to one-third narrative structure. Narrative elements include resolving conflict depicted in lyrics and breaking the fourth wall. While not including an audience like some references, it focuses on the band's performance. The video and album packaging aim to portray the band as youthful, original, talented, and now reunited after facing challenges through cinematography, editing, and imagery.
Conventions of music videos, didgipak and websites
The document discusses indie rock bands The Kooks, The Wombats, Blossoms, and The Strokes. It analyzes the bands' star images, videos, album digipaks, and websites. For the videos and digipaks, it examines symbolic and technical conventions used. The websites are compared based on design and content. Blossoms is identified as having the best overall marketing campaign based on its simple digipak, creative video, and easy-to-use website that prominently features the band.
Music Video Analysis
The document summarizes and analyzes four music videos for different indie/punk rock bands. It examines how each video demonstrates characteristics of the genres through elements like clothing, instruments, and being performance-based. It also looks at how the videos create relationships between the lyrics, music, and visuals to further illustrate and amplify the song. Each video is seen to have its own unique visual style while still fitting with conventions of music videos and their respective genres.
Treatment for video
The music video treatment proposes alternating shots between the band playing in a recording studio and performing on stage to match the tempo and lyrics of the song. Scenes would include the band cycling to the studio to capture their student lifestyle, using stop frame animation to visualize lyrics, and incorporating playful elements like a slinky and balloons to enhance the psychedelic feeling of the video.
Conventions of The Vines
The document analyzes the mise-en-scène, actors/blocking, costumes/makeup, figure expression, and camera work of three music videos by Australian rock band The Vines: "Get Out", "He's a Rocker", and "Get Free". It finds recurring elements like the band typically being a three or four piece in formation on stage, costumes consisting of jeans, jackets, and sneakers with medium-length messy hair, and camera shots including mid shots, close ups, and panning shots. The document also notes the videos focus on performing the song and selling the artist rather than following a narrative.
Indie Folk Music Video Conventions
The document discusses conventions seen across multiple music videos in the indie folk genre. It finds that the lighting is typically quite dark, costumes are casual clothes, and props are limited mainly to instruments. Shot types vary across videos but often include close-ups and mid shots of performers. Editing uses mainly jump cuts with some videos including slow motion or lighting effects. The sound is non-diegetic music in most cases, sometimes with brief diegetic sound at the start or end.
First date music video analysis
The music video for "First Date" by blink-182 tells a humorous narrative through the characters played by the band members. It contains conventions of the pop-punk genre like drinking, skateboarding, and a rebellious attitude. Through dialogue and costumes, the characters establish a comedic tone typical of blink-182's toilet humor. The video cuts quickly between shots of the band performing and the characters engaging in silly antics like going to a waterpark, creating an energetic teenage anthem feel to accompany the song.
Research into music videos
This document discusses different types of music videos and their key characteristics. It begins by describing narrative music videos, which tell a story through a sequence of events that parallel the song. Performance music videos capture a live performance to give audiences an authentic view of the artist. Conceptual music videos are more abstract and focus on visuals over narrative or lyrics. The document then provides examples and analyses of different music videos to illustrate these styles. It also covers technical aspects like camera angles, shots, editing, and the production process.
Styles and Conventions
1. Music videos use various styles, conventions, and techniques to convey meaning and tell stories. These include using live concert footage, narratives, surrealism, impressionism, and animation.
2. Common techniques in music videos are lip syncing, editing with jump cuts and cutting to the beat, using post-production effects, split screens, chroma keying, camera movements, varied camera angles/shots, and mise-en-scene.
3. Examples described include videos by Robots in Disguise, Alice Cooper, Slaves, Kings of Leon, Pussy Riot, Kasabian, Dead Pretties, Adore Delano, Cabbage, KISS, Lady Bird,
Music video analysis
The document provides an analysis of the music video for the song "Homesick" by the indie rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen. It discusses several characteristics of the music video that demonstrate genres, including the band's clothing, hairstyles, and choice of instruments that are typical of indie rock. It also analyzes relationships between the music, lyrics, and visual elements of the video in terms of illustrating, amplifying, or contradicting different aspects. Intertextual references are made to other films featuring indie rock bands.
Analysis of Music Videos
The document analyzes three music videos:
1) "Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi is a performance video that shows the band playing while telling a generic breakup story through gestures and expressions. Shots of the band performing fade into shots of the singer acting out the lyrics.
2) "Smokin' in the Boys Room" by Motley Crue is a concept video that reflects the band's 1980s anarchic image through slapstick humor and destruction. Jump cuts create an incoherent narrative.
3) "Leader of the Pack" by Twisted Sister covers a 1960s song through a narrative video with an actress enacting the lyrics, though humor and slapstick undermine the pathos

2) "Smokin' in the Boys Room" by Motley Crue is a concept video that reflects the band's 1980s anarchic image through slapstick humor and a fast, incoherent narrative.
3) "Leader of the Pack" by Twisted Sister covers a 1960s song through a narrative video using an actress. It contrasts pathos from the lyrics with humor through slapstick scenes of a car
Textual analysis 1
The music video for "Houdini" by Foster The People is a hybrid of performance and narrative elements. It begins with the band performing, but the stage lighting falls and "kills" them, beginning a narrative section. Producers in black suits then mimic the band's performance using their bodies. The video cuts between this narrative and performance sections. Throughout, close-ups of the band and lighting emphasize their performance, while the narrative and lyrics suggest artists feel constrained by the music industry.
Music video analysis work sheet (3)
The music video for "Kickapoo" by Tenacious D uses basic techniques that appeal to teenagers. It has a simple storyline about rebelling against strict parents told through concept-based scenes and performance shots of the band singing. The rock genre and humorous but explicit lyrics about not following rules would interest teenagers. While the tempo changes throughout to match the song, the camera work and editing are straightforward without complex shots or effects beyond bringing a poster to life. Overall it aims to entertain younger audiences who can relate to the message through mostly low-budget, conventional means for a rock video.
sheep
This music video by Bo Saris for the song "She's on Fire" features footage from films of actresses like Salma Hayek and Demi Moore. It is filmed in a style evocative of 1960s jazz/blues music videos, with minimal lighting focusing on the band's instruments. The costumes worn by the band and clips of women in the video connect it to the sophisticated representation of the jazz/blues genre. Brief shots of instruments like the drums and guitar match the rhythmical editing of the video and help focus attention on the music.
Conventions of music videos
American rock music videos typically feature similar editing styles and visual elements. They are usually filmed in black and white or sepia tones and cut rapidly between shots. Low key lighting and spotlights are commonly used to illuminate the band during performances. Band members generally wear casual, dark clothing and use emphatic gestures like screaming into microphones. Locations are typically large rooms set up for live shows, though some videos include narrative scenes shot in urban or rural settings as well.
