Production Journal - 30th January 2012

In today's lesson, Megan continued to edit the music video where the green screen needed to be changed into the police height wall. This was going to be used so that the narrative of the music storyline has a conclusion, being that all four girls have been caught for kidnapping the male character. Once this is finished all we need to do is add the text at the beginning of the music video: 


Studded Roses
Scandalous


Other examples researched:
Before adding this text I wanted to research how different bands/groups began their music video with text, if any. One band in which I found that included their group logo in the beginning of their music video was, 'The Wanted', who included it in every video of theirs...

However, as I started looking at different genres of music and a variety of artists, many music videos that included text at the beginning of the videos. These are some of the examples below in which I researched and print screened:


Nicki Minaj included fading text covering the whole screen in her video...

In One Direction's music video instead of including their band name at the beginning of their music video they added the director's name instead.

Labrinth ft Tinie Tempah's video consists of the title of the song and the artists name as an MP3 image in a car, relating to video.

During this week we started talking about ideas for your music video. We decided to talk about all our different thoughts and feelings in the group to see what ones we were more for as an overall idea. One idea of a story line to the song in which came up in conversation was the idea of a group of girls showing their ex-boyfriends that they are better than them.

On the first week of getting our briefs for the music video task, we got together as a group and started to decide what genre we wanted. After we decided to choose former girl group, 'Mis-teeq's song 'Scandalous'; I decided to start looking at the genre of the song and the characteristics in which could be included in the video. I also started to analysis some more music videos and thinking about the 'edge' that our group wanted to put onto the music video style.
