Week 1:
We were given an assigenment this week to create a music video. Today we made our groups for our musc video. We must submit production documents which will include pre production and a sample viewing which we can do via a questionaire. We will need to make sure that our music video is suitbale for viewing within the time watershed (before 9:00pm).
Our video must be suitable for pre-watershed viewing, this means that it should not contain any explicit lyrics, un-suitable scenes such as drugs, sex or excessive violence. It must also include motion graphics, be a maximum of 4 minutes long (inc motion graphics). We are given a choice of pre-approved songs which were provided by our lecturer or, if we want to use our own song, get clearance to use an existing artist’s song. Our song was already on the list which was walking on a dream by empire of the sun, and we began to think of the possibilities for this song.
Week 2:
This week i began and finished my Music video investigation. i wrote about the different styles and types of music videos (e.g. Homage, Stop Motion), different techniques (e.g. Chroma Key, Lip syncing) and different codes and conventions (e.g. Consolidating a songs meaning, lyric interperatation. I had a group meeting with my group and we decided that we were in fact going to use the song "Walking on a Dream" by "Empire of the Sun". At first, myself and another group member wanted to do another song which was "Shot Yourself in the Foot Again" by "Example". We spoke to our lecturer and asked him for advice on what would be easier to do and what he reccomends, to which he thought the "Empire of the Sun" song would have been a better choice, so we decided to go with that.
