These include linking the visuals to lyrics, syncing shots with the music, using conventions of the pop genre like effects and gazes, and challenging some conventions by using simpler clothing styles. The student aimed to tell a narrative story through their video and received feedback that their use of music-to-video synchronization was successful at engaging the audience.
The document discusses conventions in music videos and how the author's music video for Lady Gaga's "Till It Happens to You" adheres to and develops conventions. The author researched conventions like shot types, camera angles, editing, and mise-en-scene. They filmed the video using mostly close-ups and a tripod to convey emotion. They also included sexualized makeup and revealing clothing to portray the song's message about exploitation while conforming to industry demands. Overall, the author felt their video adhered to conventions through its use of techniques like performance, editing, and visual elements.
The document discusses conventions used in music videos. It explains that camera shots like long shots, close-ups, and mid shots are used to focus on artists and establish the mood. Mise-en-scene, or the visual elements of a video, reflect the song's emotions and message through settings and costumes. Genres also influence conventions - love videos depict relationships through bright colors and fashion, while indie videos emphasize authenticity with live performances. Edits switch between locations, artists, and scenes to tell the story and match the music. Lighting and sound also reflect the genre through bright versus dark tones and fast versus slow pacing.
The document analyzes the mood, narrative structure, realism vs fantasy, themes, and use of performance in a music video. It establishes a melancholy and dark mood through slow visuals and lyrics depicting a character's struggles. The narrative is non-linear, mixing times between the character as a stripper and model with flashbacks. While some scenes aim for realism, balloons introduce fantasy. Main themes include a "bad TV" effect and balloons. Performance is not emphasized, focusing instead on narrative, inspired by The Weeknd's style. Sexuality is portrayed through provocative clothing and sensual dancing implying the character's role.
My design for my digipak - different stageskate Moseley
This document describes how a designer manipulated various images in Photoshop to create the design for an album. It discusses how the designer copied, pasted, and transformed heart images to create patterns; changed colors using tools like curves and saturation; added and formatted text; cropped and adjusted brightness and contrast of photos; and more. Screenshots are included to illustrate the before and after effects of these manipulations. The goal was to design different elements of an album cover, spine, and inside layout through basic photo editing techniques in Photoshop.
This document analyzes different parts of a music album package including the back cover, CD, and booklet. It breaks down each individual component and examines the key details and information contained within them. The overall analysis focuses on understanding the messaging and story being conveyed through the visual and written elements across all parts of the album package.
This document provides information about the artist Natalie Major and analyzes her music and target audience. It discusses that Natalie is an indie pop artist from Chicago with nearly 4,000 YouTube subscribers. Her target audience is likely teenagers and young adults. The document also outlines some typical codes and conventions of pop-rock music videos, such as including performance and narrative elements, casual clothing, and natural lighting. It identifies Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson as established artists in similar genres to Natalie Major.
The document discusses why the author chose the song "Heartbreaker" by Natalie Major for a music video project. The author picked this song because they enjoy the fast pace of the song, which would allow them to incorporate different film techniques compared to a slower song. The author then analyzes some of the lyrics and their meaning, suggesting themes of retaliation, standing up for oneself, feeling powerful by being the one in control of the relationship rather than the victim, and not backing down or giving in to the other person.
This document discusses researching a target audience through demographics and psychographics. It defines demographics as categories like gender, age, location that describe a group. Psychographics examine personality, interests to understand individuals or groups. The document uses surveys to determine the target audience for a pop-rock artist is 17-20 year olds, both male and female, who enjoy pop-rock music genres and artists like Maroon 5, Avril Lavigne and Paramore. They frequently listen to music and enjoy activities like concerts and music festivals.
Magazine adverts in the same genre as minekate Moseley
This magazine advert promotes Jessie J's debut album. Her name is displayed prominently in gold font at the top, suggesting luxury. Below is the album title in gold and white fonts, possibly indicating the album will not be too risky. The central image shows Jessie J facing the audience with black and white colors, representing her mystery as a new artist. It lists her most popular song "Price Tag" to encourage buying the full album. The advert also includes Jessie J's website for more information.
Natalie Major is a 17-year-old singer-songwriter from Chicago who now lives in Los Angeles. She released her debut album "Little Mockingbird" in 2014. The treatment sheet describes plans for a music video for Natalie's unreleased song "Heartbreaker." The concept is that Natalie's character gets revenge on a former lover by destroying reminders of him and other girls. Locations include the school drama room, countryside, and houses. Costumes, makeup, and props help convey themes of rebellion, mystery, and empowerment.
Horror films seek to elicit negative emotional reactions by playing on audiences' primal fears through themes involving intrusions of evil forces into the everyday world. Common elements include ghosts, monsters, demons, and serial killers. Plots often involve viewers' deepest fears and the terror of the unknown. Inspired by authors like Poe, Stoker, and Shelley, the genre has existed for over a century.

3. 1ST AND 2ND FRAME
1. A shot that shows a link between lyrics and/ or music and
visuals:
In this shot I have showed a link between the music and visuals,
this has been done by the music and visuals illustrate with one
another (in time with one another). I did this because I wanted
to follow Goodwin’s theory, when visuals and the music can be
illustrating. Since the shots before also move in time with the
beat, it shows continuity throughout my music video,
2. A shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artist to
be represented:
Since my artist falls under the Pop-Rock genre, the record company would
want the artist to be represented as feisty, by this being shown throughout
the music video, the audience is led to believe that this a reflection on the
artist’s personality. Throughout the music video the record company would
want this fierce attitude to be shown in various shots, which I have done
e.g. when she pushes her ex on the ground, as well as the second frame.
4. 3RD AND 4TH FRAME
4. A shot that shows an intertextual reference
Many music videos will feature an intertextual reference,
whether it’s a reference to a film, TV show or another music
video. For example, ‘Telephone’ by Lady Gaga featuring
Beyoncé features a truck named ‘Pussy Wagon’ is a reference
to Quentin Tarantino’s film ‘Kill Bill’. In my music video, I
referenced the TV show ‘Once Upon A Time’, I did this because
in TV show the characters hearts can be taken out and if they
break, they can die. However, in mine rather than my actress
dying, when she smashed her heart, she got rid of the chance
3. A shot that illustrates how your video uses music genre
In most Pop-Rock music videos they will include a mixture
(meaning both performance and narrative are included)
throughout the music video. For example, Paramore’s ‘Misery
Business’ includes performance, as well as narrative. In my
music video, I have used musical instruments throughout, by
doing so it shows that I have followed the codes and
conventions of my music genre.
5. 5TH AND 6TH FRAME
6. A shot that demonstrates the use of lighting
In my genre, most music videos will use low-key lighting
throughout, which is why I have incorporated this in my music
video. For this close up shot, I have used minimal lighting for
this shot. However, the only lighting in use is my actress’ hand
holding her heart. Consequently, this will mean the audience’s
only focus will be on the subject.
5. A shot that demonstrates the use of camera
For this shot, I decided to do a POV shot of the ex-boyfriend. By
doing this, the audience is given a shot on what the antagonist is
looking at. While we see the ex-boyfriend’s POV, my main actress
pushes him to the floor. Consequently, this gives the audience an
insight what’s happening from the ex-boyfriend’s perspective.
6. 7TH FRAME
7. A shot that demonstrates your use of mise-en-
scene
For my location, in this shot I used a dark room with
limited lighting, which is a common theme in my
genre’s codes and conventions. I decided to use a
dark room because it has undertones of power
which is a theme that’s explored in this shot. For my
costuming, I went with a black t-shirt for my main
actress, I decided to go with this because black
connotes power, which is the feeling my actress
portrays in this scene. For my male actor, I decided
to go with a style which would match my actress. I
went with a red flannel, paired with a black top, as
well as a black beanie. I decided to go with a red
flannel because red connotes anger, which is a
feeling he possesses during this scene. Both of these
outfits are common costumes that would appear in
my genre.
7. 8TH AND 9TH FRAME
8. A shot which I feel demonstrates something which shows I have
watched other music videos.
In Paramore’s ‘Misery Business’ when the singer and the antagonist
see one another they make eye contact and walk towards each other,
hinting that a confrontation is about to begin. I wanted to replicate
this scene in my music video between my two female characters.
9. A shot which I feel demonstrates something which shows I have
watched other music videos.
In Christina Perri’s ‘Jar of Hearts’ music video, throughout the video we
see the antagonist steal various girl’s hearts and then moves on to his
next target. However, in my music video rather than my main actress
stealing various hearts, she only takes the heart of the girl who her ex
boyfriend cheated on her with.
9. 1ST AND 2ND FRAME
1. A shot that shows a link between lyrics and/ or music and visuals
In Christina Perri’s music video ‘Jar of Hearts’, we’re able to see that
the lyrics and visuals are illustrating. For example, in this shot the
lyrics are “I learned to live half alive.” While the lyrics are playing, the
visuals show that the singer no longer has her heart, implying she is
living half alive. This can relate to my music video because the “So
ima be your heartbreaker”, whilst this lyric is being sung the visuals
show my main female actress breaking a heart.
2. A shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artist to be
represented
In Kelly Clarkson’s music video ‘Since U Been Gone’ we’re able to see Kelly
performing with her band in front of an energetic audience. The record
company would want this throughout her music video because it implies that
she’s really popular, since she has a big audience. Since the audience is dancing,
it implies they’re having a good time and can convince the audience who are
watching the music video to go to one of her concerts. This can relate to my
music video because despite the fact I don’t feature a performance with an
audience, the record company would want close up shots of the main singer’s
10. 3RD AND 4TH FRAME
3. A shot that illustrates how your video uses music genre
In Paramore’s ‘Misery Business’ we’re able to see the codes and
conventions of the Pop-Rock genre. For example, in this genre the
use of performance and narrative is explored throughout the
music video. In this shot, the audience is able to see the use of
music instruments, a suitable location to perform as well as
suitable costumes. In addition, I have also used suitable locations,
as well as costumes which follow the codes and conventions of
my genre.
4. A shot that shows an intertextual reference
In Paramore’s music video ‘Misery Business’ it can implied that this
song could be referencing the film ‘Mean Girls’. This can be shown
due to the antagonist terrorising the students at her school, as
well as the rivalry between the singer and the ‘mean girl’. Hayley
Williams (The lead singer) said the song was about her male friend
was being manipulated by a ‘mean girl’. The song title can be a
reference to Stephen King’s psycho-thriller film, Misery (1990)
because "Misery Business", was first heard in this film.
11. 5TH AND 6TH FRAME
6. A shot that demonstrates your use of lighting
From the music video ‘Ignorance’ by Paramore, throughout the
music video, we’re able to see the lead singer holding a
lightbulb while singing in rooms with limited lighting. It’s a
common theme in this genre when low-key lighting is used.
5. A shot that demonstrates your use of camera
In Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since U Been Gone’ music video throughout
her performing the song to a crowd, the camera will show all of
the crowd, as well as when the camera zooms out from Kelly,
we’re able to see the crowd around her.
12. 7TH FRAME
7. A shot that demonstrates your use of mise-en-
scene In this shot, the location used for this shot
seems quite eerie due to the dark lighting, as well
as the use of smoke. These features gives the
atmosphere a mysterious vibe, and that something
bad could possibly happen. The costumes the
characters are wearing gives a reflection on who
they are. For example, the singer is wearing a white
dress which connotes innocence, however this
juxtaposes with the black belt and black boots
she’s wearing, this can imply that despite she is
innocent, she’s been corrupted by the antagonist
since he took her heart. The male character’s
costume is in black which suggests he’s dangerous,
and that he’s here to cause mayhem. This can
relate to my music video because a similar
confrontation between my singer and the main
antagonist have a heated argument which is a key
point in my music video.
13. 8TH AND 9TH FRAME
8. A shot which I feel demonstrates something which shows I
have watched other music videos.
In Paramore’s ‘Misery Business’ the location and the
performance, reminds me of the music video ‘Girlfriend’ by Avril
Lavigne due to the fact both music videos have a band, with
both lead singers putting a lot of energy into their performance.
9. A shot which I feel demonstrates something which shows I
have watched other music videos
In Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since U Been Gone’ music video, at one point
she’s in a closet and she’s throwing/looking at clothes as well as
sitting on the floor. This reminds me of the music video ‘The One
That Got Away’ by Katy Perry because she also sings in her closet
and looks at clothes as well.

22. Album title and artists
name:
This is a basic feature for
a magazine advert to
have. The album’s title
and artist’s name will
usually be in capital
letters to grab the
readers attention, in
order for them to
remember it
Central Image:
Another key feature in a
magazine advert will
have a central image of
the artist. By having the
artist in the centre, it will
be the main focus for
the reader. The pose the
artist makes will usually
be similar to the digipak
cover or reflects the
tone of the album
Where to buy the album:
A key feature is where you
can buy the album. I have
included the Apple logo, as
well as the Amazon logo,
which implies this is where
you can purchase the album
New single and release date:
All magazine adverts feature the
newly released single, as well as
when the album releases. By doing
so the reader can recognise a
recent song, as well as they are
made aware on when they can
purchase the album.
Ratings:
Magazine adverts will usually
feature a rating from music
magazines, by doing so it shows
the reader how successful the
album is, which can persuade the
reader to buy the album.
Social media:
I have also included social media
logos, by doing so it can
encourage the reader to find
them on social media, which will
help the reader find out more
about the artist.
Website address:
I have included the artist’s
website, by doing so the reader
can find out information about
the artist, and possible tour
dates
23. GOODWIN’S THEORY APPLIED TO MY MUSIC VIDEO
Relationship between lyrics and visuals:
Throughout my the relationship between the
lyrics and the visuals are at times illustrating and
contradicting. For example, in this shot the lyrics
are “So ima be your heartbreaker”, as it plays
heartbreaker the audience is able to see the
singer’s heart broken on the floor.
Music genres have their own video style:
The Pop-Rock music genre will usually dark
clothing throughout their music video e.g. black
tops. In my music video, I have also included
dark clothing to show the codes and conventions
of my genre.
24. GOODWIN’S THEORY APPLIED TO MY MUSIC VIDEO
Relationship between music and visuals:
Throughout my music video, the relationship
between the music and visuals are illustrating. For
example, in this shot we can see the drums being
played by the drummer, whilst this is happening,
the viewer is able to hear drums being played.
The demand of the record company:
The record company would demand that
throughout the music video there should be
various close up shots of the artist’s face. By
doing this, it will allow the audience to
remember what the artist looks like. Due to this,
I have included various close up shots of my
artist.
25. GOODWIN’S THEORY APPLIED TO MY MUSIC VIDEO
The notion of looking (screens within screens):
In my music video, I have used phones which lead to
the next point in the music video. For example, in this
shot I have the lead singer’s ex ringing her, but she
can’t deal with so she declines the call.
Voyeuristic treatment of the female body:
When looking at music videos in my genre, when
the female body was being exploited is was only
minimal, which is why I used the shot of my artist’s
neck, as well as showing her bra strap. This is a
common feature in many music videos, which can
interest the audience watching, which is why I
included it.
26. GOODWIN’S THEORY APPLIED TO MY MUSIC VIDEO
Intertextual references:
In my music video, I referenced the
music video ‘Jar of Hearts’ by Christina
Perri. In Perri’s music video, the
antagonist is stealing girl’s hearts,
where as my lead singer is taking the
heart of the girl who wronged her, as
well as her own heart to end the
suffering of a broken heart.
Furthermore, I have also referenced the
TV show ‘Once Upon A Time’ because
in that TV show, there are several times
when the character’s hearts are ripped
out of their body’s and then are broken,
which is what my character did towards
the end of my music video.
27. VERNALLIS THEORY APPLIED TO MY MUSIC VIDEO
Narrative:
Vernallis says what takes place in the music video,
reflects the lyrics of the song. I believe my music
video reflects the lyrics of the song because
throughout the music video we’re able to see the
lead singer is confronting what happened to her,
and that she can also play dirty if she wants to.
Editing:
Vernallis says you will see different types of
editing styles throughout a music video. I believe
I have followed this. For example, I have edited to
the beat with several shots to show continuity. In
addition, I have also done jump cuts between my
artist lip-syncing, then jumping to a scene which
is apart of my narrative
28. VERNALLIS THEORY APPLIED TO MY MUSIC VIDEO
Camera movement/Framing:
Vernallis said that close up shots of the artist is
a key feature in music videos in order to
establish the artist. Throughout the music,
there are several close up shots of my artist’s
face.
Diegesis:
Vernallis said that the world within the music
video is revealed slowly, in order for the story
(narrative) to develop. For my music video, I
believe the story develops slowly because it can
give a hint on what will happen next. For example,
when my lead singer gets a phone call from her
ex, a few shots later, we see the singer and her ex
arguing.
