Group Roles

In this post I discuss the roles within the group.

 Camerawork was primarily carried out by Jasmine Greene and Caitlin Elward, as myself and Hannah Martin and Joshua East all feature in the music video. Editing was a team effort, led by Hannah Martin as we spent time editing our footage on the editing software "Premier" and on IMovie, all putting forward ideas concerning editing and using editing tools. Caitlin took on the role of managing wardrobe, and compiled outfits that were symbolic to the meaning and theme of our music video; she also chose clothing and makeup that added to the "grungy" and alternative feel to our music video. Myself and Jasmine were head of direction, and Hannah is the main protagonist in the feature and there are little shots in which she is not featured, so it made sense and was most practical for us to take on the role of direction. We all took on roles within production, and I primarily took on the role of time management and organisation.

Throughout the video we also see the friendship group smoking and drinking, a common theme in terms of alternative music videos. I was particularly interested in the theme of a love triangle within a friendhship group as a narrative. Camera In terms of camera, we see an establishing...

Technical Codes and Symbolic Conventions in Music Videos

In this post I will explore and define Technical Codes and Symbolic Conventions and their use within music videos. Both technical codes and symbolic conventions allow the audience to become familiar with a particular genre of music videos, provides a reliable structure of music videos. Camerawork The use of the camera within music videos, and any moving image, has a significant impact on how meaning is conveyed. The angle, distance and movement of camera shots plays a vital part within production of music videos. In terms of movement, the camera may follow characters in a narrative video, or in a dance sequence video the camera may follow the movement of the dancers. Close ups are a technical code frequently used in music videos, to create a sense of intimacy between viewer and artist.This is predominantly used in line with the artist lip-synching, and camerawork is often used to create a flattering depiction of the artist lip-synching the song. Editing The most common editing ...

What have you learnt from your audience feedback? We held a media showcase evening at our sixth form college to showcase our hard work in both the music video and anxillary tasks, but to also ask some important questions and recieve some feedback on the piece. We filmed responses to our questions, edited and compiled them into one video which we then uploaded to Youtube on the same channel as all of our content is uploaded; the music video itself, the draft edits and this feedback short.
