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.

Website Research - Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars' website Bruno Mars's website did not particularly appeal to Lauren and I. This is due to the very simple and ordinary colour scheme and layout. Surprisingly, it was also hard to navigate around the site which added to our dislike.  Although we did not like the layout and colour scheme of the website we really liked the addition of adding all his current songs in a list linked to Spotify which you can listen to as navigating through the website.

Typical Sypnosis

Recently I have watched multiple music videos to give me inspiration for my own music video. There are particular shots and mise en scene I would like to try and replicate. From Rihanna's music video 'What Now',  there are multiple overlaying shots which I found particularly effective and would therefore like to use. There are also parts of the mise en scene I liked. This included the simple and colours of the costume Rihanna wears. They are not bright or bold however reflect the tone of the song. There are many aspects of Beyonce's music video 'Halo' that I really liked. 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...

Magazine Advert Research

Typically, music artists like to use magazine adverts to promote their new music album or their tour. As well as creating a website, Lauren and I would like to create a magazine advert for our performers album and decided to do some research to help us. Beyonces magazine advert is of course, visually attractive and appealing however as a result of the dull colours., the advert fails to grab the audiences attention. Although this is not a magazine advert but for a tour, Rita Ora's advert is definitely one of our favourites. This is due to the bold, bright colours and sizing of the font which immediately grabbed our attention. Rita Ora is the focal point, placed in the middle of the advert which makes sure that it is known it is her tour. The MTV logo is placed at the top of the screen so that the target audience knows who her record label and can easily identify her genre of music.  Taylor Swifts album advert was not particularly eye-catching. Although it uses t...
