Weather precautions and analysis

Weather precautions and analysis

It was important to plan filming dates and also the weather on these dates. We did not want to get to the locations, especially London, and find that the weather was cold and raining. This does not fit the conventions of the genre as the House genre focuses on a happy and positive looking visuals through weather. We would want to film in times when in is bright, clear and also sunny as this would help to enforce the conventions throughout. As we were planning to film late in the year we had even more pressure when having to film as it would become dark quite quickly in the evenings. It was important for us as a group to plan properly and take all of these aspects into consideration.

Avicii - You Make Me - Lyrics

Avicii Lyrics
Here are the lyrics of the song we will be creating in our year 13 coursework. We decided the follow an abstract theme so the lyrics themselves do not have any relevance within the music video. Other groups have followed a narrative which is associated with the lyrics but we decided this would not be the best idea within the group. We didn't want to depend on volunteers to help us with filming and as all members of the group are male we would rather focus on an abstract theme than that of voyeurism and a love story. Through research of the genre we found that there is a lot of rapid editing and also abstract themes followed throughout, we decided to focus more on this idea than a normal narrative, which is more associated within the pop genre in most circumstances. Still, we will make sure to include several different locations and lip sync to the lyrics. We will make sure that David will learn the lyrics to make it much easier to film and produce an effective and realistic looking music video.

Focus Group

We  found the focus group to be very useful, enabling us to find out more about what our target market wants to see in a music video and also other artists that they like listening to. This aided us to realise what we had to base our main focuses on as we are making the product for the audience. Sadly, in the focus group we only had three participants which is not as high as we intended as a larger group could have given a wider perspective. It was because of general willingness for our peers to want to star in the focus group video but nonetheless we still found the focus group to be a positive impact into our research and aided us to create a more attractive music video.

Questionnaire Analysis

Music

This post examines the process of deciding which song we chose to make our music video for. It shows that we began with a range of genres and songs, and that we were able to narrow it down to the one. It also portrays which moods and images we need in our video to fit, or against the codes and conventions for a video from the dance music genre.

Lip Sync prelim

We filmed our main actor for a music video doing a practice lip sync, this helped us understand how we was going to do it when it came to actually filming for our music video.
