Iconic Shots Collage

-


After looking at a large amount of iconic shots from different music videos within the pop genre, the key feature which reoccurred in almost every shot was the use of the close-up shot on the artist. This was one of the conventions which Andrew Goodwin identified, therefore in my music video I will ensure I use a large variety of close-ups, including extreme close-ups and medium close-ups in order to make my music video as effective as possible.
As well as this, I recognised a large a of the shots were in black and white (especially the more recent ones). I will therefore aim to incorporate this into my music video.

This included the colour grading of the video which effectively reflected the lyrics and tone of the song.  Another aspect I liked was the the water scene. When looking at Beyonce's music videos she nearly always incorporates a scene in water and I especially found this effective. In the scene she is wearing a white dress which is made use of with the slow motion.  I espec...
