R AND P - Missing Andy - Song Choice

Im sure which band I would like to produce a music video for these are MISSING ANDY! Ive decided on there song 'Kings for the weekend'. It been such a hard choice as allof there songs are really really good! But I've finally made my decision! The song is very 'boyish' and I think I will be able to recreate and image of the sort of lifestyle 18-25 year old have not old throught the narrative but also through the performance.

R AND P - Analysis of Beyonce's

Artist - Beyonce

Title of song- If I were a boy

Date of Release- October 12th 2008

Director of music video - Jake Nava 

Genre - R 'n' B / Soul 

There is a strong link between the video and the lyrics to the song, Beyonce is performing whilst also narrating the storyline. The basic plot to the music video is Beyonce and her partner switch places were Beyonce becomes a boy she then takes the stereotypical role on as the bread winner as she becomes a police woman. 

In the beginning of the video, beyonces husband makes her breakfast and he's excited about it, and she kind of doesnt have time to eat. She has a male partner and the video goes through their daily routines. Her husband's at work and has attractive girls flirting with him but he declines their advances. She has a guy flirting with her, and she flirts back.

Beyonce said that at the end of the video, viewers would realize the husband is a police officer and what the female character, had been doing throughout the video is what her husband had actually done to her all along.
MTV News writer Jennifer Vineyard's analysis of the concept concluded, "when we first saw it from a different perspective Beyonce's, behavior seemed more abnormal. And when it's the guy doing everything she just did in the previous scenes, it becomes all too familiar—which is Beyoncé's point.

R AND P- Andrew Godwin

Andrew Goodwin identifies 5 key aspects of a music video that we the audience should look out for which are :

-Thought beats - Seeing the Sound
-Nartrative and Performance
-Relation of Visuals to song
-Technical Aspects of the Music Video
- The Star Image

Thought Beats- Seeing the sound in your head

First Step is to look at the music itself. We must take into consideration the structure of the song e.g Chorus/Verses.

Secondly the voice of the song. The artists voice is extremely unique and can form identity or a trademark that can work really well with the star image. A classic example of this is Mariah Carey he ability to hit ridculously high notes in the 90's was her trademark.

Thirdly Good win also points out the artists mode of address. Songs can be seen as stories and the artists the storyteller, making the music video a two communication device, them telling us a sotry and us listening.

Narrative and Performance

We only tend to get a gist of the meaning of the song then tend to makeup our own idea of what is being told in a music video. Goodwin explains the music videos should ignore common narrative. It is important in their role of advertising.  The artists acting as both narrator and participant helps to increase the authenticity howerver the lip sync and other mimed actions remains the heart of the music videos. The audience need to believe that it is real for this effect to take place.

Relation Of Visuals to song

Illustrate Amplify Disjuncture this technical term means that the meaning of the song is completely ignored there is no link at all from the music lyrics to the video. Daft Punk have a dance beat with not alot of lyrics therefore they have explored music video and created a video in which they simply have a dog walking down the street with various people looking and talking to him.

Technical Aspects

Technical aspects hold the music video together through use of camera work, movement , angle , msie-en-scene, editing, sound and special effects.

Speed-  camera movement, editing, cutting and post production are all forms of use of camera.

Lighting and colour help set modds and emphasise key moments of the song for dramatic effect.

Mise-en-scene- the setting of the music videos is all vital it needs to look authentic to attain professionalisim. Also the use of pathetic phyallasy having the weather coinside with the actors feelings or the mode of the song.

Beats- music videos use cuts to go with the beat or rhythm making the video mor eentertaining.

Star Image

Two very big iconic artists who have an amazing star image are Elvis Preseley and Micheal Jackson.

However Elvis was the first artist to have the 'Star Image' with his quiffed hair broad shoulders and dashing looks his image really helped him to become an amazing phenomanon.
