Preliminary exercise: Research and planning


1) State the song you have chosen for your preliminary exercise.

One flow by Nemzz 


2) Choose at least three music videos similar to your concept and watch a clip or more from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene.


The editing and style of this music video gives me an idea of what's going on inside the artist head I want to portray this in my music video and allow the audience to gain a meaning just from the editing. 

 


The editing on this is what I want to implement in my music video using the comic effect.


The performance and editing is what I want to use in my video this is a good example as the editing matches the performance and beat and has the audience attention. 



3) Write a short music video treatment for your extract (this is basically a script for your music video). You can find an example of a treatment here. If you are making your real coursework then feel free to use the treatment from your summer project.

I want a guy walking and showing performance using his body language to convey a meaning to the audience. I want to jump back from scene to scene using editing this can create a meaning to the audience.

4) Write a shot list containing EVERY shot you plan to film AND additional shots to create flexibility when editing (in a music video you will find you need FAR more shots than you think, particularly close-ups). These additional shots can be close-ups, alternative angles or something more creative. I advise using a simple table on Microsoft Word/Google Docs to set out your shot list - you can find an example here (this is from narrative filmmaking but the same format can be used for any video project). 

medium shot of the artists 
close up of the shoes 
wide shot of the location 
long shot of the artists with a zoom
a pan/tracking shot of the artist walking 

5) Plan your mise-en-scene: what iconography are you including to ensure your audience understands the genre and style of your artist? Plan your settings, costume, make-up, props and lighting. 

I want to have a gritty style the artist is also gonna be dressed up in urban wear for example baggy and stand out clothes the setting i want is a gloomy dark setting preferably to be filmed at night. 

6) Plan a shooting schedule that will ensure everything is filmed by the deadline. Include when, where, who is required, planned equipment and any other aspects you need to arrange. 

I will shoot on Friday and record using the schools camera

Summer Project: coursework planning

  1) Research: music videosaa You need to write a  150-word close-textual analysis  of  SIX  music videos that will inform your production work. The music videos you analyse are up to you but focus on a different aspect of media language for each one (see guidance below).   Music videos Music Video 1: Narrative How is narrative used in the music video and what impact does this have on the audience? Can you apply any narrative theories to the story in the music video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0VdRLdg2ng The music video starts off in a post apocalypse setting which is a spin off of the game mad max it also has references from the movie the warriors "Can you dig it" The narrative is 2pac and Dr.Dre freeing theses prisoners from this camp.  The song's music video is renowned for parodying the Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome film from 1985. Shakur's old friend Jada Pinkett Smith came up with the concept for the photo session. Her original plan was t...

Statement of intent feedback

  GOHILL, Rishi   Mark: 3   Grade: D   Comments for AQA:   The statement of intent clearly offers a video concept that has some thought behind it – locations, shots, mise-en-scene. However, it lacks the ‘how’ or ‘why’ for media language and representation required for the higher levels. It arguably targets the specified audience but needs further justification in terms of the ‘mainstream’ element of audience outlined in brief. Media language elements are considered in places – there is clearly a plan for the music video element. Plan to have visuals matching lyrics is clear but focus on narrative does not go beyond this. Representation is addressed briefly in this statement in terms of reflecting the artist’s upbringing and subverting stereotypes but not really saying ‘how’ or ‘why’ this will be done. Audience is mentioned briefly but without really demonstrating knowledge of media terminology or theory. Lack of focus on brief too. Digital convergence and indust...
