Acoustic/pop music combines acoustic instruments with pop song structures. It tends to have a slower pace and deeper meaning compared to other genres. The genre focuses on narrative storytelling through song to help audiences connect emotionally with the characters. Acoustic/pop music videos also have distinguishing conventions, like natural outdoor settings, an emphasis on the artist acting out the song's story, black and white or vintage color palettes, and slow camera shots that allow viewers to contemplate the song's meaning.

Conventions of music videos
This document discusses conventions, or common features, in different genres of music videos. Some conventions that appear across genres include a relationship between the lyrics and visuals, the use of middle and long shots with close ups, and lip syncing to the song. Conventions can also include the relationship between music, color, and narrative simplicity. Specific genres like indie, hip hop, pop, R&B, and rock each have their own conventions around concepts, locations, dancing, clothing, and performance styles.
Acoustic genre
The document discusses the image associated with the acoustic music genre. It notes that acoustic artists typically have a shaggy hair, wear casual clothing like t-shirts, jeans, and hoodies, and use natural colors rather than bold colors like black or red. The document also provides examples of lyrics from acoustic songs that tell stories and convey emotions. It then discusses characteristics of acoustic music videos, such as including nature scenes, portraying the artist acting out the song's story, using black and white or effects to look vintage, and focusing on one person singing about another person and conveying emotion through slow-paced camera shots.
Music Video Pitch
This document proposes two music video ideas for promoting an artist. Idea 1 involves shooting a video for the song "The Big Unknown" featuring a woman lip syncing while dressed in a white dress surrounded by water and woods. Floating objects would be incorporated to represent a dream-like theme. Idea 2 involves shooting a video for Aretha Franklin's "Say A Little Prayer" featuring a transvestite performing at a pub to an uninterested crowd. The video would be shot backwards and reveal the character's struggle with their sexuality. Both ideas aim to positively represent the artists and their music in an alternative or thought-provoking way.
Genre mindmap
The document discusses conventions of music videos in the indie folk genre. Typically, these videos have a low budget but utilize natural settings to showcase themes of environmental appreciation. Artists often dress in rural attire to match the surroundings. Videos contain long shots of the natural scenery. The music itself often features obscure instruments like banjos and double basses to celebrate a simple appreciation of music. Narratives in the videos usually include political or social messages that reflect the meaningful lyrics, telling stories in an obscure folklore style. Color schemes are neutral earth tones like orange, brown, and yellow to set a calm, rustic atmosphere. Videos commonly include both narrative elements and performances that reinforce the unperfected brand identity of the artists with a
Sound Inspiration
The document discusses potential non-diegetic music inspirations for a film from three Pink Floyd songs and "Chapel of Love" by The Dixie Cups. It describes how "Wish You Were Here" could inspire a tone of mental detachment and distance. "Prelude (The Wall Work in Progress)" could help build emotion and pace over the film. "Chapel of Love" could be manipulated to be haunting and enhance a narrative of looking back on emotional events despite its romantic tone. The document examines how each song could inspire certain feelings or narrative elements in the film.

Initial responses
The document discusses influences and inspiration for a dark, gothic-themed music video. It lists influences from artists like YUNGBLUD, Billie Eilish, and Bring Me The Horizon. Common themes in alternative music videos are identified like black baths, blood, dolls and flowers. A mood board is presented with dark, creepy images to convey the intended aesthetic including bears, masks and sketches of a deflated actress.
Dance History
This document classifies and describes different forms of dance. It discusses ballet as a highly disciplined stage art that tells stories, modern dance as a rejection of ballet's formality with individual styles, and musical stage dance as a hybrid combining ballet, modern, and other styles used in Broadway and film. It also mentions jazz, tap, ballroom, folk, ethnic, exercise, and other movement-based forms like ice dancing and gymnastics.

Here are my suggestions for improving the visual planning:
- Add more description for each scene beyond just the lyrics. Describe camera angles, shots, lighting, locations, wardrobe, props, etc. This will help with planning the production.
- Consider including establishing shots at the beginning of locations to better set the scene.
- Pace the cuts according to the song's structure (slower during verses, faster during choruses). Don't cut on every line.
- Vary shot types (close-ups, mid-shots, long shots) to keep it visually interesting.
- Overlapping action between cuts can help with flow and continuity.
- Consider showing the character's emotional journey

Hip hop/rap videos commonly take place at parties or clubs to match lyrics about such topics. They portray a more mature atmosphere through displays of wealth, alcohol, and hypersexualized women used as props. Emerging indie rap tells different stories through creative camerawork and avoids focusing on "money, cars,

Elements like location, lighting, props, costumes, and color are deliberately chosen to represent the song's meaning and genre. Effective editing, sound, and animation are also incorporated to engage audiences.

Presentation
This document discusses conventions for different music genres including folk, jazz, and acoustic and provides examples. It summarizes conventions for each genre such as use of lighting, location, costumes, and film techniques. It then discusses how the research into conventions will help in planning a music video for a song that combines folk, jazz and acoustic elements. The research found conventions like close-ups, shadows, and black and white filters can help portray emotion and set the style and mood for each genre.
No copyright track pitch
This document provides details about the song "Smile" by David Amber, including the lyrics, concept, and technical elements for a proposed music video. The lyrics describe a relationship from its passionate beginnings to drifting apart due to life changes, but maintaining fond memories. The video concept would show snippets of the couple's relationship through its stages using close-ups, slow motion, and color filters to convey emotion. Pop music was selected for the genre to appeal to its wide audience and create an emotionally impactful video.
Analysing music videos
This music video tells a narrative story of an elephant escaping from the zoo to find "paradise." It features no performance from Coldplay apart from at the very end, as part of the storyline. Using a narrative structure allows Coldplay, as a famous band, to create a video that will encourage discussion and re-watching to follow the story. The video feels like a movie with its opening titles, showing Coldplay's commercial success and large-scale productions.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

- 2. About Acoustic/Pop music Acoustic combined with pop music is very varied, as there are many different approaches you can take towards it. However, the conventions of music keep the songs fairly slow-paced and always have a significant meaning behind them. This is one of the reasons we decided to choose this genre, as we liked the idea that our song could have a narrative, allowing the audience to connect and feel the emotions of the characters. Ellie Goulding – I need your love Am I dreaming? Will I ever find you now? I walk in circles but I'll never figure out What I mean to you, do I belong? I try to fight this but I know I'm not that strong And I feel so helpless here Watch my eyes are filled with fear Tell me do you feel the same Hold me in your arms again
- 3. Acoustic/Pop music videos Acoustic music videos differ greatly from other genres. Their videos tend to include; - Nature – landscape shots, natural, outdoor settings. This gives the video a calm and tranquil feel. - The artist featuring in the video, acting out the story of the song - Many often use the black and white technique, to make it look older - This leads me on to colours, which are usually very natural, and certain effects are sometimes used to make the videos look vintage. - Videos also use clips of festivals and concerts • Guitars or pianos appear in most acoustic music videos - Focused on one person, singing about another person – emotion. - Settings tend to be natural, isolated, run-down or a link to the person featured in the song. - Slowpaced camera shots – this is so we can understand the meaning of the song.
