Music Video Analysis

Performance Based
This kind of rare now a days as this type of music video could be seen as very boring as it is just the band singing but Green Day mange to make the video interesting by jumping around while playing their music so it makes it interesting. They also used Andrew Goodwin saying of getting lots of close up of the band and that keeps up with the pace of the song as it a very quick upbeat song. 

Completely Narrative Based

In this music video they don’t have a point where the band appear in the video I like in this that it links in with what Carol Vernallis said when she said that the title of the song links in with the actions of the characters, this also links in with what Goodwin said the relation between the Music and Visual. The video is also very interesting as they like the video with the lyrics and I think that is very good. 

 
 Narrative Based

 This music video shows an old man looking back at his past and his
past being portrayed in animation. the video also follows the lyrics
of the song and what is said in the song is what the person does.
The whole music video comes together to tell you a story which is
what you would need for it to be a narrative based music video.

Performance Based Narrative

This music video is good because it tells a story that links in with
song which is what Goodwin and Versailles said about. The music
video is of the person going to court which their girlfriend over
something and he is telling his side of the story and the main
character in it is played by  Plan B then with actions that they do it
keeps you hooked to the video.

Music Video Analysis

From doing this I was able to look at professional music videos and what effects they use in their videos to make them look as unique as they do and how they try to make them so that you remember them.

Barry Trip to YMCA

Today we went to YMCA in Barry, Wales. During our day there we learnt how to use the green screen and how to edit what we recorded on the green screen, we made a music video on the green screen and we learnt how to position the lights right so you could get the best from the green screen and it turned out that you had to in the centre of the screen to receive the best lighting so on the video you would look clear. By doing this it helped us because it meant that we could just drag a background onto the back instead of having to mess around trying to get it into the right place. We also used the new high tech cameras that they use for movies and we learnt how to make it so we could get the best out of it this was a new experience for me as I have not used a camera as good as that before and it was easy to see the difference in quality and price between them as the ones we used their were much better than them. As a class we came up with a music video that we wanted to re-making and we chose “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” opening theme and we then decide that to make it easier and so everyone could get ago. We went into pairs and we all got given 10 seconds that we had to redo and we were in charge of that scene this included getting the actors, props, filming and editing. In our pair we first watched the 10 seconds which we have been given and ours was from 10 seconds to 20 seconds we then took that apart second by second and analgised what we had to do, we then went about finding the right people to perform in it and the props that we were going to use in it. During the filming I was queuing the actors to do what they did and my other partner filmed it.

After we filmed it we went back to our computer and we went ahead editing it, the first thing that we did was we cut it down to the bit that we wanted after that we went on the internet and looked for a background that we wanted to go over the green screen and we wanted to make sure that it looked like the original one. After we found the one we liked we dragged it over the video and edited to the same size of it. We then went about adding the music onto it this was probably the hardest part of the video as we had to make sure the music that we put on was right otherwise it would not be able to link in with the other clips are fellow classmates had made. Once we found it and had the right music and dragged it over and made one last check that it was right and then it was done. 

From doing this I was able to see how they edit certain things together and it gave me a insight into how I will be able to do it in my later work to make it the best that it can be and what I need to make sure I need to get right to make it the best it possibly can.

Past Students Video - An Analysis

From doing this task I was able to look at pervious students videos that they have made and I could see what quality that I need to make my video to and what parts of their videos were good and what parts were bad. This helped me because it gave me thoughts on what I want my video to look like and how I want to make it

From doing this task I have learnt how different artists brand themselves so that they look different and stand out from all the other artist so that we remember them. Then how this can work in their advantage to make more sales of their products.
