The target audience for this music video is met through keeping the band members' identities secret by replacing them with cartoons. This appeals to their target audience as the band does not typically show themselves in videos. Using cartoons allows for a wider audience as fans can dress and look how they want without following a particular image. The lyrics in the song suggest mixed emotions like feeling happy but not happy. This broad message could appeal to all fans regardless of mood. However, during the lyrics about sunshine, the video shows dark and rainy weather. The tempo of the song is quite slow, giving it a relaxed feel. Typical music genre instruments like drums and guitars are heard, and the tempo stays the same throughout.

Initial plans
Daniel Firth is considering creating an animated music video for his final project that would allow him to showcase his creative abilities. He believes his strengths lie in animation and music videos as they provide the most creative freedom. He may create original music for the project to make it fully original. He maps out potential animation styles like anime, pixel art, hand drawn, and stop motion, weighing the pros and cons of each. He also maps out different music genres like rock, soft rock, indie rock, and electronic, again considering the pros and cons of each for a music video. His mood board features dark colors and humanoid figures to influence the tone and style of his final project.
Mv production assignment form 2019
The student plans to create a music video interpretation of the song "Do I Wanna Know?" by Arctic Monkeys. They will film close up and high angle shots of instruments being played at a music room in their college. Wide shots of a city at night, either York or using a green screen, will also be included. Transitions between scenes will be fast cuts synced to the beat of the song. The video will have a greyscale color scheme to match the romantic and potentially heartbroken theme of the song. Concerns include disruption while filming in public and unpredictable weather, but the student plans to schedule filming to avoid these issues.
Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real music videos. It uses conventions like bright colors, action, and excitement common to pop music videos. It tells a narrative story like "Maps" rather than just lip syncing. It incorporates visual elements found in other videos, such as cutting to the beat of the music, focus pulls to draw attention, and motion blur. The video challenges conventions by rewinding at the end rather than leaving the scene. It follows conventions of including the song title at the end and showing progress over time through lighting, locations, and clothing.
Conventions
The document discusses conventions commonly used in music videos, focusing on conventions for indie music videos. It describes typical camera shots, movements, and editing techniques used. It also discusses elements of mise-en-scene like lighting, props, costumes, and color that reflect the genre and mood of the music. Specifically for indie videos, it notes they tend to change calmly with the beat, sometimes use black and white, include close-ups of artists, and feature the band playing instruments.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Evaluation question 1
The document summarizes the use of conventions and forms in various media products for an indie pop music genre project, including:
1) An album cover is compared using conventions like the artist name in big font, centered album name, and a boxed main image.
2) A music video is compared to Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" for elements like nature scenes and more singing versus storytelling.
3) Mise-en-scene, sound, cinematography, and continuity across ancillary products like a digital booklet and advertisement are discussed.
Question 1
This document provides contact sheets and descriptions for frames from a music video. The first frame shows the band name and song title, setting the tone for the video. The second frame features dance sequences to portray intimacy between dancers and link to the song's lyrics and themes. Black and white is used to highlight romantic elements. The third frame represents the narrative with color in contrast to the dance elements, further linking to the genre and lyrics. Simplicity in color, costume, and set links the video to the rustic feel of the genre. The font was chosen to challenge the original artist's recognizable bold font and be more suitable for the video's themes and tones.
Music Video Evaluation
The document discusses the music video created for a song that is a hybrid of dubstep and rock/metal genres. To reflect this, the video incorporates conventions of both genres - it features shots of a live band performance with close-ups of instruments, like in rock/metal videos, and uses surreal visual effects and footage of nightclubs/dancers like in dubstep videos. It also includes snippets of a political speech sampled in the song. Editing and effects were used to match the visceral impact of the song and transition between shots based on the music's rhythm and beats.

Common motifs of a music video
This document outlines common motifs used in music videos and provides examples. It discusses motifs such as ritual celebration, horror, intertexuality, impossible sequences, body fragmentation, mysterious themes, and other features. For example, it notes that Madonna's "Like a Prayer" shows a black choir celebrating in church, and Rihanna's "Disturbia" uses demonic gestures and blank eyes to depict being in a possessed state. It also analyzes examples like Usher seeing himself singing in a mirror, and Michael Jackson's "Earth Song" depicting a barren world at its end.
Conventions of a music video
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.
Media Music Video Codes And Conventions Presentation
Codes and conventions are a set of rules and techniques used to construct meaning in media texts like music videos. There are two categories of codes and conventions - technical involving equipment and technology, and symbolic involving meaning beyond the obvious. Codes and conventions allow audiences to become familiar with genres and ensure texts fit their genre. Music video styles include performance, narrative, mixture, and animation. Technical codes and conventions in music videos include different camera shots, editing to match the music, and diegetic and non-diegetic sound. Mise-en-scene elements like props, costumes, locations, and facial expressions also help construct meaning.
Motifs in music videos
Modern music videos contain several common motifs or techniques:
1) They often show fragmented or close-up shots of the human body rather than presenting it in its entirety to direct attention to specific parts that capture emotion.
2) Frequently use fictional or fantastical settings created through CGI and visual effects rather than just depicting the real world.
3) Generally have lengths between 3 to 5 minutes to accommodate the song while still telling a narrative or story.

Music Video Analysis - Task 1
The document provides analysis of the mise-en-scene, sound editing, and camera angles used in four music videos:
- Stormzy's "Scary" uses low-key lighting and candles to create a dark, scary theme fitting the song. Fast cuts are used when the beat speeds up.
- Calvin Harris' "Sweet Nothing" uses dark lighting to depict themes of abuse and violence. Ambient sounds are added to scenes to make them more realistic.
- Coldplay's "Paradise" features the main character in an elephant costume to narrate searching for paradise. Bright colors depict happiness.
- Techniques like continuity editing, eye line matching, and a variety of shots are
Performance concept and narrative
The document discusses three types of music videos: performance, narrative, and concept. Performance videos mainly feature the artist performing and are commonly used by artists on low budgets. Narrative videos tell a story, which can be linear with a clear beginning, middle, and end, or fragmented. Concept videos are based around an unusual idea or filming technique meant to keep viewers engaged through strange imagery and symbols that relate to the song's themes, genres, or moods.

The document discusses various codes and conventions used in music videos, including technical techniques, symbolic techniques, colors, notions of looking, and star image. It then summarizes how the author's music video incorporated some of these conventions, such as a focus on color, star image, and facial expressions to convey meaning. The author challenged conventions by creating a purely performance-based video with still footage and no camera movements, similar to Bloc Party's "Banquet." The author then developed this idea further by combining elements from "Banquet" and A-Ha's "Take On Me" music videos.
Textual analysis 2
The video is mainly a performance-based video of the band The Hunna, with some narrative elements. There are teenage characters shown having fun at a party where the band performs. The video cuts rapidly between shots at 169 cuts in 3 minutes to match the fast-paced music. It focuses on the band's performance through close-ups and shots of their unique costumes to portray their indie genre and brand. The video represents the lyrics somewhat through some visuals of the characters, but its main purpose is to engage the audience with the music and performance.
Textual analysis 2
The video is mainly based on the band's performance of the song, showing them playing at a party. It cuts between shots of the band and teenage partygoers enjoying themselves. There are around 169 cuts total and various camera angles are used, including close-ups of the singer's emotions and instruments being played. The lyrics are sometimes represented visually, like a shot of a girl biting her tongue to match that line. Close-ups of the band promote their style and merchandise to construct their indie image.
Inspirations and Influences
The document provides inspiration and influences for a music video. It discusses taking elements from Ellie Goulding's "On My Mind" music video by incorporating horses to portray freedom and escapism. It also draws inspiration from My Chemical Romance's "Teenagers" by featuring a live band performance. Common elements seen in EDM music videos like party and festival scenes will also be included. The main narrative will focus on a couple breaking up, inspired by many songs about breakups being sung by women.

Music Genre Conventions Presentation
The document analyzes several indie/rock music videos to inform the production of a music video for the song "I Wanna Know" by the band Secret American. It discusses the symbolic conventions of videos by Cheers Elephant, Sleepwalkers, Ritual Talk, and Ceramic Animal. Key conventions included introducing each band member, portraying the band's image, using retro aesthetics like old video quality or costumes, natural lighting, and multiple narrative-driven concepts with changes in scenery or costumes. Differences between the example videos and the planned one were also noted, such as indoor versus outdoor settings and revealing faces immediately versus hiding them.
Treatment For Music video
The document outlines a music video treatment that focuses on portraying the emotions in the song's lyrics through contrasting scenes. The main artist will be shown singing in a bedroom, expressing hurt and anger, and later at a club with friends, appearing happy and liberated. Static camera work will be used for the bedroom scenes to connect with the audience, while handheld footage at an outdoor location will seem more voyeuristic. The goal is to emphasize how the artist feels better without her ex through contrasting lonely, upset scenes with fun, energetic group shots.
Music Video Analysis

It discusses several aspects of the video, including how it demonstrates genre characteristics of the indie genre through its unique animation style and lack of close-ups of the artist.

Overall, the summary demonstrates how the video conveys the band's original style while also incorporating some common music video conventions.
Music Video Analysis
The document provides an analysis of the Bombay Bicycle Club music video for the song "Carry Me". It finds that the video fits into the illustration genre by including both a performance of the song and a simple narrative of a dancing couple. While being largely performance-based, the video creates a relationship between the lyrics and visuals through the depiction of the couple's struggling relationship. Throughout the video, the music and visuals are carefully matched to create a strong bond. Motifs like drum playing are repeated, and eye contact with the camera is used sparingly to reference the notion of looking while maintaining the band's original style. The video contains no intertextual references, staying true to the indie genre.
The Magic Numbers
This video uses stop-motion animation to tell a narrative that fits with the song's theme of loss. The video features both animated characters and real clips of the band playing their instruments. It establishes the characters through close-ups and uses their surroundings to relate to the target teenage audience. Throughout the video, comedy is used, such as characters accidentally dropping drums or posters being placed on animals. While the first half is optimistic, the second shows the band's posters being replaced, making the tone sadder. The video ends happily though, with the band performing for loyal fans.
Ryan smith media
This document discusses the codes and conventions used in music videos and how the author's media product both used and developed these conventions. Specifically:
- The author's music video used conventions like a focus on color, star image, and facial expressions to convey meaning. It was performed in black and white to draw focus to lighting and editing.
- To develop conventions, the author challenged conventions by having to film alone without support, resulting in still footage without movement. This unintentionally mimicked the style of Bloc Party's "Banquet".
- The author then developed this style by taking elements of "Banquet" and A-Ha's "Take On Me" - combining a pure performance style with effects

War of the_worlds_worksheet
The document discusses Steven Spielberg's 2005 film War of the Worlds and the impact of 9/11 on how American audiences responded to it. It suggests that the film was more successful and impactful because it was released only 4 years after 9/11 and featured scenes similar to the terrorist attacks. While some argue it is inappropriate to use 9/11 as a thematic device, the document says it can be justified as 9/11 was a major historic event that will be discussed for generations, similar to wars. Producers using 9/11 too soon after the attacks may have caused more controversy, but releasing films years later would be more accepted.

- 1. Music Video Analysis Comment on the following aspects in relation to your music video choice. How will these techniques appeal to the target audience needs? Target Audience & needs The target audience’s needs are met in this video as the identities of the band members are kept secret in this video as they have been replaced with cartoons. This will appeal to their target audience as this is a known fact that this band don’t show themselves in their video’s. They are using audience familiarity in this video. Using cartoons instead of themselves in their music video appeals to a wider audience, because unlike other bands they don’t have an image that their fans will follow, their fans can dress and look how they want to. Lyrics The lyrics in this songs suggest mixed emotions for example’ I ain't happy but, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag I'm useless’ sends out mixed messages, again this could be so that the songs appeals to all their fans no matter what mood they are in. During the video when the lyrics ‘ive got sunshine’ are sung the weather is actually dark and raining Tempo The tempo of the song is quite slow, as if the song has been slowed down, this gives off the mood of the song to be a relaxed song. You can hear drums and guitars, conventions of typical musical instruments for this genre. The tempo stays at the same throughout the song verses and even in the chorus. Genre This band belongs to a mix of genres, alternative rock, alternative hip hop, trip hop and electronica. You can tell there is a mix of genre in the song as the difference in style between the chorus and the verses. The chorus is sung in a low pitch tone which suggests that it belong to the alternative rock genre whereas during the verses there is rap which anchors down that it also belongs to the alternative hip hop genre. Camera Technique The video starts off with an extream close up before zooming out to create a long shot. The video uses a lot of pans to change from scene to scene, this will then usually become aextream close up. Extream close ups and medium shots are used through out the video as well as bird eye views and establishing shots. Editing Parts of the video has been edited to make the characters appear differently to one another, for example the actual band remain as cartoons whereas the ‘monster’ is meant to appear holographic, I think they have done this to tie in with the lyrics the ‘monster’ says which are’ remember it’s all in your head.’ Use of digital effects Digital effects used in the video create a mood of the video for example the use of lightening to is used to reveal the four giant monkeys. In one part of the video one of the characters turns to run away in slow motion this gives off the impression that it is a strip out of a comic book.
