After coming to know that one of the options I have as an A2 student for my Media Coursework is making a music video, I decided to explore the codes and conventions which such products follow. Here is the research I did in the amount if time I had been provided:
1-Styles of Music Video:
1-Styles of Music Video:
- Performance- Bands/Artists shown playing
- Narrative- A story included
- Mixture- Containing both a performance and a narrative
- Cameo-Band/Artists appears in the video, but doesn't perform
- Animation
2-Camera:
- Shots depend on the style chosen.
- Close-ups of performance, along with Extreme close-ups of the performer/performers' lips, their instruments and various other objects in the video to signify as to what's happening.
- Crane shots- showing the stage or area where the band/artist is performing.
- Low-angled shots.
- Distant shots or extreme distant shots.
- Panning-camera moving from one performer to the other.
- Tracking.
3-Editing and Sound:
- Music videos usually feature jump cutting in which two sequential shots of a particular subject are shown.
- Footage is to be edited in order to match the music.
- Split screens/CGI.
- Diegetic sound (Again, depends on the style of the music video).
- Varying sound levels.
4-Mise-en-Scene:
- Depends on the genre of music and type of music video.
- Props-instruments, other band equipment, etc.
- Costumes- Outfits for the band/artist.
- Locations- Concert halls, streets, rooftops, etc.
