Music video conventions are important to study to understand their elements. Critics view music videos in various ways such as cinematic genres, advertisements, new forms of television, visual art, or signs of consumer culture. Goodwin's book "Dancing In Distraction Factory" explains the difficulty of defining music videos as critics have varying opinions. It also shows how artists like Michael Jackson and Madonna reinvented their public image through controversial music videos that went against societal norms. Creating controversy brought more attention to artists and their videos, growing their success. This text provided useful insights into different perceptions of music videos.
We Found Love
The document analyzes the lighting used in Rihanna's music video for "We Found Love" and how it helps set the mood. The lighting in most of the video uses blue and green tones with low key lighting to indicate a destructive relationship. One early scene in a bathroom uses dark shadows on faces that create distance between characters and contrasts with the typical brightness of bathrooms. Another favorite scene uses dark lighting that brings warmth but contrasts dramatically with the visuals to challenge viewers.
audience feedback
The feedback on the music video posted to YouTube, Vimeo, and shared with friends on Facebook has been overwhelmingly positive, with people connecting emotionally to the video and interpreting their own meanings. Responses on Vimeo asked technical questions about the camera and slow motion effects. Feedback from direct messages with friends provided more depth and confirmed the video's message came through effectively.
how we targeted our audience
We targeted our audience for a music video and promotional material in several ways:
- We conducted questionnaires and focus groups with peers and our target audience, ages 15-20, who preferred the alternative music genre.
- We determined YouTube would be the best platform to distribute the video based on our research into common audiences.
- We considered feedback from examiners who would evaluate our work, and used recommended techniques like Final Cut Pro for editing and consistent color grading.

The document discusses the process of designing alternative album artwork, including the front, inside, and back covers. It explores the styles and conventions of alternative album covers, such as minimalist and illustrated designs featuring a central piece of art. The designers aimed to create a cohesive design across the covers with a quirky bear illustration as the theme. Research on existing alternative albums informed the design process to result in a cover that reflects the genre while including typical elements like track listings and barcodes.
album art
This document discusses how controversial album covers can create more attention and awareness for artists. It provides examples of iconic album covers that challenged norms, including Nirvana's Nevermind which featured a naked baby underwater. This cover was banned by Facebook but generated controversy that promoted the band's music. Another example is The Beatles' Yesterday and Today cover showing fake dead babies and raw meat, which went against their clean image but still helped them become recognized for their music over their promotional materials. In conclusion, challenging conventions with provocative album covers can be a positive way for artists to stand out and engage audiences.
Music video analysis: 'Holocene' by Bon Iver
The music video for the song "Holocene" by Bon Iver was filmed in Iceland using a red camera. It tells the story of a young boy who wakes up feeling something may be wrong or missing in his life. He goes on a long journey walking through fields and mountains, emphasizing how indie folk music videos often depict journeys of achievement. The video uses wide shots to introduce the boy's bedroom and show the contrast between him and the large mountains during his journey. It has a calm, relaxing sound to focus on the lyrics about someone being special. The pace of the music fluctuates to match the boy's changing thoughts and emotions.

Music Video Presentation
Released in 2011, "Holocene" is a song by indie folk band Bon Iver. The music video features an Icelandic boy wandering the island's volcanic landscapes. The vast scenery contrasts with the small boy, reflecting the song's lyrics about feeling insignificant yet part of something greater. The video uses neutral colors and distance shots to represent the landscape's purity and the boy's innocence. It also synchronizes shots of the boy running with an increase in the song's pace and volume. The video focuses on interpreting the song's meaning rather than featuring the band, allowing audiences to connect with the nameless character.

The original 1971 music video for "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers used a variety of shots including close-ups and long shots to connect the audience to the performer and band.

The video will be filmed in a candid, handheld style, including parts on mobile phones, to capture the freedom and fun of the characters' journey.

It uses basic narrative conventions seen in other music videos by telling the story of a woman's inner battle regarding her relationship and identity. It develops conventions through its outdoor locations and editing, which enhance the psychological aspects of her journey. It challenges conventions by leaving the narrative ambiguous and open to interpretation, unlike most music videos that clearly explain relationships and meanings.

My music video 'The Gospel' uses conventions of real music videos such as a simple narrative about a woman's personal journey of self-discovery and internal conflict. It aims to be relatable to audiences through attractive performers and realistic sets. However, it also challenges conventions by using ambiguous meanings, open-ended narratives, and locations that enhance the psychological aspects of the story in a surreal way, leaving questions unanswered for the viewer.
Genre analysis
The document analyzes the music video for the song "Reality" by Lost Frequencies.

Pitch - Drive
The music video pitch proposes exploring the themes of relationships through a narrative music video for the song "Drive" by Oh Wonder. It will show flashbacks of a relationship from the beginning through arguments and ending with the girl alone, revealing she is walking to her boyfriend's grave. The video will have a simple artistic style with close-ups, tints and shots conforming to the original music video. It will target older teens and be distributed on social media.
Preliminary Task VS Opening Sequence
During the preliminary task, the filmmakers shot with phones which resulted in shaky footage and background noise. For the opening sequence, they used tripods, better cameras, added music, Foley sounds, had more planning and shot scenes multiple times to improve quality and storytelling. The improvements made for stronger continuity, camera work, tone, realism, focus, narrative development and overall filmmaking.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The document discusses the representation of various attributes in the opening sequence of a drama film project. It represents the main character as a middle-aged white British male who is well-educated and affluent, suggesting he is middle to upper class. His loneliness and isolation are illustrated to give his character depth and subvert stereotypes of white males. Younger audiences may connect with the new visual approach using motion tracking. The document references other films that represent different attributes, such as sexuality, gender, and social class, in non-stereotypical ways.

Establishing characterisation
The document discusses how films establish characters, specifically protagonists and antagonists. It states that protagonists must be likeable and relatable so audiences connect with them and want them to succeed. Protagonists are often given significant screen time so audiences learn about their personal lives and can follow their journey. Meanwhile, antagonists are usually in conflict with the protagonist but don't necessarily have to be villains. Films sometimes challenge audiences' expectations of who the protagonist and antagonist are through plot twists or ambiguous characterization. Examples from films like The Professional and The Dark Knight Rises are given.
Costume and makeup
Costume and makeup are important elements in film that help portray characterization and identify narrative elements like time period. Costumes can suggest a character's class or importance within a scene and identify key details like the 17th century styling in Marie Antoinette. Makeup is also used to emphasize certain character traits, like Keanu Reeves' stern look being brought out through black eyeliner in one film, or false lashes making a character appear more youthful and sympathetic. Overall, costume and makeup are significant in how audiences understand and respond to characters in a film.

Isolation continues as a theme throughout the sequence, shown through the main character only communicating with his dog, displaying his lonely character.
Closer
The document describes a scene from a film where the main characters, portrayed by Natalie Portman and Jude Law, first see each other from a distance and their eyes are drawn to one another. Their subtle glances and smiles show an immediate attraction and infatuation despite their contrasting personalities. The connection is abruptly broken when tires screeching is heard, Jude Law's face drops, and the tone shifts to tragedy.
Closer
The document discusses a scene from a film where two characters, Natalie Portman and Jude Law, encounter each other on a street in London. Their eyes are drawn to one another as they walk towards each other in slow motion. Non-diegetic music plays to build intimacy and foreshadow their meeting. When they finally speak to each other, saying "Hello Stranger", the audience is relieved and hopes they will fall in love, though previously a screeching tire sound disrupted their connection and changed the tone of the scene.

Bon iver - Holocene
- 2. I wanted to begin by analysing one of my all favourite music videos. The creation of beautiful cinematography and subtle story telling is something we hope to incorporate into our own music video. Bon Ivers video for ‘Holocene’ follows the story of a boy exploring different parts of the world and seeking adventure. Not only are the visual aspects incredible but the messages of exploration and adventure is really interesting. Also by starring a child it opens up the message of childhood and how children are far more carefree and they seek adventure something we as people should perhaps do more of.
- 3. The video starts off in a cottage, this immediately sets the tone of isolation. The warm tones bring a sense of authenticity to the piece – and adds to the natural setting. This scene is interesting, where he pears out the window sets the contrast between the indoors and the possibilities of exploration.
- 4. As the music video progresses we get wider shots of the different scenery. I really love the colour grading used in the scenes as they create a more visually pleasing shot. I also love the sense of isolation and independence. From watching this video, I felt liberated and inspired. I think sometimes the subtle messages that a music video creates is the reason why they are so amazing – especially with the song to compliment it.
- 5. The music video ends with shots of on top of the mountain where he completes his adventure. The theme of childhood and independence create a feeling of liberation for the viewer – something we hope to incorporate in our own.
