Possible music choice...
Out of the choice of music we have been given we have narrowed it down to 3:
We narrowed it down by considering things such as settings, mise-en-scene, costumes and camerawork E.G. we wanted a piece of music that has good, distinctive, rhythm that would make cuts look more professional.
We discarded pieces such as Cheryl Cole - Just Live because it was flat and boring. Therefore we did not feel there would be many chance of engaging the audience. We discarded other pieces such as The Killers - Forget About What I Said and Anti-Social Burn-outs - No Looking Back because we would need a band to fit in with the music and the genre of the piece and none of us would have been able to find a band that we could rely on.
We have also taken into consideration finding people that we can rely on to be a part of our music video that would also take it seriously for us, the pieces we have narrowed it down to we feel we will be able to get these people.
Each of the three pieces we have chosen we have been able to picture a narrative to go alongside the music including the lyrics. We want it to make sense when its being viewed.
One convention of Craig David is that in most of his videos it involves a girl that he has relations with. This would be have to be taken seriously by the actors. We know two people who are willing to do this for us and are very professional. The music chosen by him also fits into this convention so this is very convenient.
Pinback is an Indie Rock band. Typical conventions of this genre are that the video is normally in black and white, the artist/band is shown throughout the video, settings are normally in dark locations and camera shots normally consist of long and midshots as well as extreme close ups. This could give us the chance to experiment with out camerawork further.
Rita Ora is a Pop and R&B artist. Typical conventions of these genres are that if there are men in the video they usually have the fashion of having their tops off to show off there bodys, women are usually fashionably dressed and show as much as possible of there bodies to attract male viewers, the video is normally in greyscale or sepia tone, however if it is a slow song about love or break-up there is hardly any nudity and more about independent, dominant women.
- Craig David - Can You Feel Me
- Pinback - Proceed to Memory
- Rita Ora - Love and War

Blog Feedback for Q3-33 Blog
History of music video presentation
The presentation on the history of music video's has a good amount of detail, covering micro elements of mise-en-scene, cinematography and editing. Pictures are also used to show the artist they are talking about, however, they could do with using a few more pictures to illustrate points they are making. They could have also compared both music videos with similarities and differences to show the path between the old and modern videos.
Poster for artist
Very professional looking, however, this needs more information needed on the actual album.
Goodwin analysis - student video
There are good points made on the video, with some good detail, but points 5 and 6 of the Goodwin analysis are not present.
Goodwin analysis - Take That
There are good points made on the video, with some good detail, but points 5 and 6 of the Goodwin analysis are not present.
Individual blog post
Two of the members have contributed to this blog with very detailed posts, one using a video, and the other using a picture. There isn't much too improve, but the other member needs to post an individual post.
Directors study
All three director's study lack detail, and the two videos by Spike Jonze needs to be compared to each other.
Abstract study
Not present.
Controversial music video
It is good that they have used facts on the video as it supports the points they have made, as well as good detail on the controversial elements.

Looking at Celebrity Magazines
Task 1
1. One example of the current cultural 'ideal' would be Peter Andre as he has taken part in lots of charities, has been in adverts and has also had his own TV Reality show and everyone has heard about his ex-wife Katie Price and their split. Also some people share the same experience of having and looking after a child with down-syndrome.
2. One example of a challenge to the 'ideal' would be the singer Adele as she is bigger than a stereotypical artist. This challenges the typical artist impression of being 'perfect' and stick thin.
3. One example of a comparison between us and the 'ideal' is Kelly Brook as she is seen paying for her car park ticket. Magazines show this to make her appear approachable and we can relate to her.
Task 2
Beyonce
1. Beyonce is known for her curvy body but does not have a particular USP. This does not matter as she is liked for her music and her voice.
2. Beyonce conveys ideologies about women expressing themselves and working independently. This is shown through making a name for herself by making good music and not anything else.
3. Beyonce conveys these ideas outside of her music as she works independently without her husband.
