Two music videos which inspired me =]

The top music video, 'Love story' by Taylor Swift is the music video which I have mentioned earlier in my research and analysis of a music video. I have decided to blog it and the other music video 'Slow' by Rumer to show the generic conventions which I tried to mirror in my music video. The use of 'golden time', the natural beauty of the artist, natures beauty, the innocent image the artist is portraying, the exaggerated fact that the music videos focus on the artists musical talent and the lack of voyeurism in these two music videos. These two videos greatly inspired me during the story-boarding planning, filming and the post production side of my music video.

Story Board and Annimatic with sound.

Above is my storyboard. ( As you can see I am terrible at art ) I shaded in the frames in brown and orange because these are the frames/clips which I would apply a sepia effect to. I created my annimatic with sound before I filmed my music video in order to visually predict what shots would work. It enabled me to see what angles I should take  whilst filming, it enabled me to play around with the order of the narrative and how I would edit and set out my music video. and it gave me an opportunity to experiment with the pace of  the different clips in regards to the music. Lastly by creating the simple annimatic with sound it motivated me and inspired me to film my music video.

Looking back at the annimatic after I had finished my music video i discovered that it was a brilliant starting point to base my ideas on. I changed the order of the clips from the 'past', 'present', and 'future', i also added a larger variety of angles to add interest and i also added more videoFX in the editing suit to differaniate the different time zones.


This is my Annimatic with sound below:

Original Mood Board

This is my mood board, it has many natural elements such as beach scenes, the sun, trees, heather and water which are things which inspired me to create my country/folk music video. It helped me to think of locations such as the beach and forest scenes. It had a positive influence on my artist in my music video because it inspired me to create a natural image for my young singer.

Time schedule of filming taken out my media film :)

By using these time schedules to stick to throughout my day it helped me to stay or track and stayed focused because i had certain deadlines to reach.

Even more Development of my Digipack AND Postersssss!!

On the weekend I arranged a photo shoot with my artist in order to take photos for advertising her next live performance. After the photo shoot I discovered that some of the photos looked fantastic once they had been edited. And After looking at my Digipack I decided that the some of the new photos would look better in the Digipack rather than the ones i have already edited and chosen.

Here are two of the Posters I Have designed for my artist. I decided to have a natural location ( Richmond Park). I  then  wanted to distort the image by making the background Black and White and keeping the artist in colour which therefore exaggerated her importance and made her stand out to the viewers eye.

I also took some more serious indoors photographs of my artist and I decided this would also be an ideal poster because its very simple, this simplistic photo complements my artist image and reputation of being just about the music and not objectify herself in order to sell her music, she replies on her natural talent.

Below is my developed and final Digipack =] 

These new Photos and the new order which i have placed each Digipack side in is much better. The Edits on the photos are good and I think all the sides complement and link/tie in with each other because they all include either a photograph or an aspect of the artists personality and life in.
