The document outlines a music video pitch for Coldplay's song "The Scientist".

3 ideas
Josh Bestford proposes three music video ideas based on different songs. The first would feature rappers performing to Post Malone's "Congratulations" across various locations using different costumes, lighting, and fast editing. The second centers on depression and would show two perspectives - one singing the song and one suffering - to relate to Logic's "1-800-273-8255." The third, for Tinie Tempah's "Pass Out," would start with someone waking up from being asleep at a party and singing along as the festivities continue with dark lighting and multiple performers joining in throughout.
Conventions of rnb videos
The document discusses elements found in four music videos that could be included in a new music video.

It provides examples of each from a video of a rap artist performing in a radio booth. The music changes to match the emotional content of the performance. Effects are added to emphasize parts of the performance. Dialogue remains in first person as the audience can see the artist and host. Silence only occurs at the end of the performance. Noise levels are adjusted throughout to enhance intrigue.
Draft Of Vampire Weekend
The band has an epileptic and random style of music that is intended to sound that way. Their songs have high energy but cannot stay on one sound or beat for long. Some songs like "Run" are distinctive with slower Latin-inspired trumpets, while others like "Giving up the Gun" have an unpleasant riff and generic vocals. The album has creative moments but uneven execution overall.
This Is Hell
The video analyzes the music video for the song "The Polygraph Cheaters" by the band This Is Hell. The video cuts between shots of the band performing live, showing their passion and emotion, and scenes telling a storyline. In the storyline, a man in a suit is killing various victims in positions of power or stereotypes. The album cover for the song's album, "Sundowning", uses contrasting black, red, white and grey colors to represent both good and bad topics addressed on the album. Promotional materials for the album, including a poster and t-shirt, feature the same design as the album cover and use black and red colors to market the album as dealing with negative subjects.
Analysis of camera shots

The song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift depicts her frustration at an ex-lover who wants to rekindle their relationship. The narrative structure is that Taylor used to always break up and get back together with her ex-boyfriend but now she has had enough and says they can be friends but she will never get back together with him. The music video was shot like a pop-up book in a continuous take using different locations including her house, a nightclub, and a park to depict the story without any editing between scenes.
Treatment sheet
The document provides a treatment sheet for a music video for the song "Radioactive" by Kings of Leon. It outlines the concept, which is to create a video that better reflects the song's themes of the band's southern roots, in contrast to the original video. It details plans to film in northern England and juxtapose religious and rock music themes. It also discusses performance elements like lighting variations, camera angles focused on the performer and instruments, and scenes of the performer driving and playing guitar to sync with the music.
Music videos folk
This document analyzes and summarizes three folk music videos:
1) Ben Howard's "Old Pine" video represents folk music through natural English scenery without showing any instruments.
2) Frank Turner's "The Way I Tend to Be" video also highlights rural beauty but lacks a clear story while Turner carries a shovel.
3) Laura Marling's "Sophia" video stands out by being set in a church and including folk instruments like acoustic guitar.
The document discusses how the videos inform the creation of the author's own folk music video by combining rural settings and landscapes with shots of the artist singing and playing acoustic guitar.
Music video research
The document summarizes and discusses several music videos, analyzing how they tell stories through cinematic techniques and relate to the songs' lyrics:
- The Linkin Park "Numb" video mixes live performance with a story that viewers can interpret linked to the lyrics. It uses establishing shots to separate the girl and band's stories before bringing them together.
- The Escape the Fate video also tells an interconnected story through cinematic means, featuring one of the band members acting out a story linked to the Romeo and Juliet-inspired lyrics.
- The Pantera "Five Minutes Alone" video uses artistic shots and slow motion to draw focus to the music rather than the band members' emotions, relating to the song
Omarion Icebox Evaluation
The music video uses medium shots and close ups to tell a narrative about a man's relationship with a woman represented as "icebox" or cold heart. Black and white colors and a recurring clock motif symbolize time running out in his efforts to understand the woman, who is portrayed as the source of his problems rather than the solution. The video ends where it begins, continuing the circular theme.
Analysing music videos
The document analyzes three music videos based on Andrew Goodwin's theory of music video elements. It summarizes Love Me Again by John Newman as a performance/narrative video that matches lyrics and music visually through dancing. Adventure of a Lifetime by Coldplay is categorized as conceptual, featuring computer-generated monkeys dancing to the disco-style music. Last Friday Night by Katy Perry is a narrative video depicting the events of her last Friday night through party scenes and matching lyrics. The document examines each video's genre characteristics and use of intertextuality, record label promotion, notions of looking, and voyeurism.
Lighting Research
The document discusses the use of lighting in music videos to evoke emotions and attitudes. It provides examples from several music videos:
1) The Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire" uses orange lighting to create a high energy feel of anxiety, matching the song's theme of sex.
2) Arctic Monkeys' "Teddy Picker" uses natural lighting to represent the real world and band in an indie/rock genre where authenticity is valued.
3) Beyonce's "Single Ladies" employs flashing lights, fading, and varying brightness throughout to match the song's changing tempo and pitch.
4) Jay-Z's "New York State of Mind" is filmed
Common features of genre
This document discusses common features of different music genres that are portrayed in music videos. It provides examples of how pop, electro-pop, and rock music videos use bright colors and choreography to depict upbeat pop songs, incorporate electronic elements and storytelling for electro-pop, and employ darker themes and symbolism for rock videos. Across genres, common techniques include using costumes, makeup, lighting, and editing to match the beat and convey the theme or narrative.

Happy Little Pill analysis
- 1. Troye Sivan – Happy Little Pill “The track is an ambient piece of slow-burning, electronic pop.” https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=QEWHF3E9YJQ
- 2. This music video follows the general convention of electronic pop, with usually dark colours and the story in two halves. Roughly 1/3 of the video consists of Troye infront of the camera singing the lyrics with little to no performance aspect to it…
- 3. …1/3 of the video is of a young footballer lonely on the pitch, many of the lyrics coincide with the camera work and what is happening in shot…
- 4. … and 1/3 of the video is the story if Troye alone in a hotel room. This ties the video together as it matches the lyrics of the song.
- 5. The general conventions of electro pop tend to be a very dull colour scheme, however due to this being his first music video with the label I believe it followed the colour scheme of the EP.
- 6. Happy Little Pill and Royals Goodwin’s theory: Genre Characteristics - Muted colours - -Close up on artist
- 7. Goodwin’s theory Notion of Looking Opposite to the male gaze theory and the men often portrayed in a negative way, instead the male footballer in the video is shown to be vulnerable and lonely. The Demands of the Record Label Despite him being signed to a major label (Capitol Records) he is still given the creative freedom he wants due to already having a fanbase which will buy the records, so they don’t control his music too much.
