3. Example music videos/ ideas to
add:
• Get him Back! By Olivia Rodrigo- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsJ-BHohXRI
• (Car scenes and the way the moving/ rotating shots into each other)
• Girls make me wanna die- The Aces (without narrative)- most similar
• If I could change your mind- HAIM
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljg6g7BAdQo&pp=ygUbaWYgaSBjb3VsZCBjaGFuZ2UgeW91ciBtaW5k
• The Sound- The 1975
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSnAllHtG70&pp=ygUJdGhlIHNvdW5k
• (Close ups of the singer)
4. Mise en Scene:
Set:
The nature of most rock music videos uses dark/ dim lighting
For soft rock- artists sometimes use brighter colours and gentler.
Low Key Lighting to create a dark atmosphere. However, natural lighting during morning and evening.
Use media room.
Clothing/ makeup:
Darker clothes and makeup (eyeliner, smoky makeup, red lipstick) give a dark and almost gothic look to match the sound,
leather boots. Sunglasses for an edge rockstar look on all people.
For soft rock- artists sometimes use brighter colours and gentler. Leather jackets, skirts, everything. Black jeans, fishnets,
band t-shirts, black boots. Browns, blacks, navy, maroon colours.
Location:
Rock music videos tend to be shot in streets, places with graffiti. Studios are also used to create a bright room.
Other settings often include a studio setting, outdoor places, garages are often used.
Setting tends to be quite simplistic as the focus is on the music.
My idea is to use a few locations where the performers change location as their performance, so it switches. Locations such
as a field, woods, street, a park.
6. Filming/ Camera work:
Consists of close ups of the face and instruments. Close ups of people singing. Wide and ariel shots are sometimes used to
establish the location. Lots of camera movement is used to go with the tempo of the song. Fast zoom in shots. Lots of pan
shots.
Include props, e.g. microphones, guitar, percussion.
People in rock music videos usually have high energy and are quite lively. They show a lot of movement to the music, to
match the tempo.
7. Editing:
Depending on the tempo and mood of the song depends on how it is edited. Lively rock songs have lots of cuts and jump cuts
for an energetic atmosphere. Effects??
