RESEARCH- CODES AND CONVENTIONS OF AN ALBUM COVER

 

- Bold and Simplistic Fonts

- Few Characters

-Simplistic Design and Colour Scheme

- Images or tone representative of music on album

- Close-ups of the artist themselves
- Arty picture work to attract the eye of the consumer
- Bold and strong colours to again catch the eye of the target audience 
 

Album Covers will often focus on the artists image and the their genre. They have the purpose of establishing the artist's image which can be done through close-up's making the album more personal. By picking features that are characteristic of the artist, consumers will associate the album with them. Artists will also often promote their album through direct address in which they simply just have their name across the album in order to be recognised more simply.

CONSTRUCTION- SHOT LIST FOR SKATEBOARDING SCENE

SHOT LISTS FOR DIRECTOR

- Establishing Shot

-Panning Shot

-Tilt up and Down

- Extreme Close Up Shot

- Mid Shot


-Over the Shoulder Shot when friends meet

- Point of View Shot

-Cut- In Shot

The more variety in shots will mean the more dimension the scene will have for our music video.

 

This video that I personally made is just an example of some of the camera shots that our skateboard scene will consist of. From this I myself have the experience of putting together the skatebaord scene in a professional and montage like mannor.

RESEARCH: BUG

BUG is a music video showcase presenting " The Evolution of Music Videos". It provides comments on not only music video's but also colourful youtube video's. Creater Knight comments its like 'going round to a friends house and having him open his laptop to show you the interesting and amusing things he's found or made'. Along with co-producer Buxton,
Knight has set up BUG with the intention of presenting interesting music video productions with the intention of interesting others.
However, I stongly believe that BUG can serve as a useful platform to learn about the numerous different code and conventions of music videos, and therefore from this it is a credible and effective research tool in furthing the construction of my music video.

CONSTRUCTION-COLOUR CORRECTION

Picture 2- Colour Corrected footage

Picture 1- Raw Footage

Colour correction of our locker stop motion scene adds a more professional twist to the raw footage used, so that it has a high quaility feel and that it would be more eye catchy for those watching. Take the pictures above for example. Picture one consists of an orangy type colour, in which it does not have a professional feel and is not nice to look at. Whereas the colour corrected footage in picture 2 is much more toned down in comparison, is easier on the eyes and holds the professional 'twist' we had hoped to achieve.  

CONSTRUCTION- OPENING LIP SYNCH & STOPMOTION

Opening Lip Sync

 

We have started constructing our music video with initially filming the narrative of Jonny walking to football to meet his friends. He used a close up of him kicking up the ball which we think is a visually inviting shot.

However our group is cautious since we don't want our whole video to be completely narrative and would like in incorporate more visually interesting shot which we though could be achieved effectively through stop motion.

Our group started experimenting in class with making a tower of stuff that Jonny would find on his desk. We then experimented with lining up pens on a desk and through stop motion we would have them moving up the desk to Jonny before the exam.

By incorporating more abstract shots it will give our music video more dimensions and will make people enticed throughout.
