R AND P - Preparing for filming

Due to kim being ill on the saturday I was supposed to film I have now had to move to rearrange the date to during the next week.

R AND P - Olly Murs 'Busy' Behind the Scenes- One of Corrin Hardys

I love the old sort of look in this video. The attention to detail is one of Corrin Hardys most important features and I intend to achieve this within my music video. 

R AND P - Media conference December 14th

Nearing the end of the term, we travelled to London to a media conference held by Media Magazine. Pete Fraser was there to give us a lecture on the sort of things to include into our blogs and how to achieve a good grade in media. 
We also got to listen to Corrin Hardy who has directed and produced music videos for some big artists including Olly Murs, Keane and The Prodigy looking at his work has inspired me to really add detail 
into my music video and how important mise-en-scene actually is.

R AND P - Main Types of Music Video

I have found that there are 3 main types of music videos: Narrative based, Performance based and Concept based.

Narrative based music videos have a storyline or plot, and tend to follow that storyline throughout the whole of the video.Such as Lionel Richie 'Hello' .However we do see shots of the band performing the main focus is on the storyline. 

Performance based videos tend to show the band or artists mostly performing there song, possibly at a gig or in a studio setting. Music videos that use this type are Green Day's "American Idiot" and Adele ''Someone like you'.

American Idiot, consists of loads of quick shots of singing, close up of the instruments and wow shots of the american flag and band members being covered in green paint. This type of music video is completed centred around the artist, a good way to introduce/advertise them into the music world with there first single.   

Concept based music videos tend to have no storyline, they are generally a random concept and sometimes tends to not tie in with the band or theme of the song at all. A video that is concept based is OK GO's "Here It Goes Again".

This video is simply 8 treadmills one shot no camera movement and a whole lot of time put into rehearsing the moves. There was not editing involved. Its a fun, captivating way to attract a wider audience. 

R AND P - Overall Plan

Well to give you an idea about my main overall music video plan.
As I am lucky enough to have my artist star in my video, I have decided to do a purely performance based video to show the angles and shots that I have learnt over the course of the two years in media.

 However I  still am considering a narrative in the video somewhere as I feel this will add more depth to the song and allow people to connect with her lyrics, which is exactly what she wants.

R AND P - Album Names and Track List

Kim currently did not have an Album name.
