What Makes A Good Student Music Video

A good music video consists of on time lip syncing. This is important as for a viewer it is really frustrating to be watching a video that is moving at different times. A music video also needs a set story line to be following for example if a video was supposed to be following a set narrative such as Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift Everything Has Changed. This video is successful because it follows them growing up into adults from little children and links to the lyrics and title of the song. A good student music video includes props that are actually affordable in locations that work for example trying to recreate a restaurant at home with a couple of menus you have made doesn't work. Going out for an actual meal and using the restaurant instead of trying to recreate something that look realistic creates a successful music video. The third most important thing for a student music video is too make sure that you go overboard keep it simple and focus on balancing your time wisely and leaving time to redo aspects to reach the best video that you can. The editing needs to be as smooth as possible we don't want the film looking jumpy with loads of different cuts that don't match up as we have previously viewed these videos and they are stuck in low bands and are unable to move up because of this reason. The most important thing that will help me when creating my own music video is through watching both successful and unsuccessful aspects of both top grade and low level banded videos from previous years. Realising how many hours of footage we will actually need just because we might not be able to get the same locations we need exactly again. Furthermore, it's important to think about the clothing that the characters are wearing and what it has representations of. For example in Charli XCX 'Break The Rules' the use of the Male Gaze Theory is used with the man behind the counter and the school girls in tight short skirts and shirts with buttons undone sexualised the choice of the innocent formal school outfit. Showing a variety of representations makes a good student video as you are focusing on lots of different aspects for example gender,ethnicity and class. 
 


 This will help when making my own music video because i now know what needs to be included in my music video in order for it to be as professional as possible. This research will help because we have viewed lots of previous years final videos and placed them in bands ourselves and justified our reasoning then compared it to the actual grade received in order to be able to make a judgement of where our own video is and then be able to push it that little bit further.

Question 3-What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Question 3 -  What have you learned from your audience feedback?     *  Gain feedback on your  rough cut  (music vid, digipack and magazine advert) from class, from Year 12, from friends, from parents, from teachers, from on line surveys ​   In order to see whether our rough cuts were as good as they needed to be we split up individually and went away conducting research through my family. I asked both my mum, brother and dad to review the pr oducts we had created in our group Scorpio Records. The first product I asked them to analyze was the music video. The feedback given consisted of different aspects. For instance my mum asked whether Amber and Danny were meant to be a couple within the mus ic video as she didn’t think it was clear enough that Danny was the boy Amber was going. She believed this would have further aided the narrative if this was clearer but overall the range of shots were good and enjoyed the video. My brother also gave const ructive criticism on ou

Music Video Target Audience

Image
We made the music video in order to be able to discover who music videos are aimed at and what their favourite type of music video is for that particular age range. We did this by coming up with our own questionnaires that would allow a range of demographic groups to present their view and trends of music videos through a selection of open ended questions. The demographic that music videos appeal to on a whole is the younger generation however, it is clear that some middle age and above still enjoy watching a music video from time to time. My reasoning for this being my result is because teenagers are constantly using social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram etc and therefore, spend more time viewing music videos on you tube because they have more free time on their hands. However, although i believe from my results that is the largest audience of music videos those in the 60 and below category were brought up around music videos and therefore, would enjoy less well known ar

The Purpose of a Music Video

The purpose of a music video is to influence those people who are interested in purchasing the song to buy into the video. Its most important purpose is too sell the song and evoke a reaction so it leaves you remembering the song. secondly, the purpose of the music video is to give the listener a better understanding of the song. A music video is a promotional tool for the artist. Furthermore, it sells the artist as a product and gains more views widening the acknowledgement of the artist in the music industry. Musicians use music videos because they are a great way to present visual interpretations of the song. It is also one of the best ways in which an artist is able to market their singles that could potentially attract more fans to either listen to other songs on their album or purchase their single. Musicians create songs that often have a deeper meaning this is why it is important that fans can interpret the artists music easily. Making an artists song that has a deeper meanin
