Music video Moodboard 2

narrative structure

Explanation of planning

Throughout the planning of our music video multiple ideas were combined, these ideas are on the moldboard prezi and overtime the ideas were compressed into one. The ideas presented were discarded and developed over personal preference. One idea became another and another became a new idea that overtook the previous one.

Audience profile

Audience profile for our music video
Potential demographics: Ages 16-25 or 18-24
most likely studying at school or at home but is in education
Generally scruffy or mixed in fashion sense potentially going through a rough time at school or just school in general and hating it.
basing our song and genre choice on bands like Arctic Monkeys the age demographic is most likely as has been noted earlier to be teens to young adults of which have access to internet services or are generally regularly socialising in general.
Habits in general are listing to music and just going through school or education in general potentially being a reject in some cases or just being low key in the popularity ladder of society.
Ethnicity wise the person most likely to be listening to is most likely predominantly white males who is almost defiantly single and fairly slim built.
the listener is potentially in some sort of employment although they could also not be and be living off mum and dad. if they were in employment it would most likely be part time work covering few hours.
Its unlikely these people are going to be complete party animals and are fairly self contained within themselves.
they are very unlikely to have any sort of body art on them whatsoever.

they are more likely to like music genres such as indie rock or rock in general as well as be into music such as pop.

Their social class its most defiantly middle to low income or from families with smaller incomes.

Location for music video

We decided to have the main performance in a garden shed this is not typical of this genre but it is similar to some music videos in the indie rock genre, such as the Kings of Leon songs; 'Sex on Fire' and 'Pyro'. The garden shed is an easily accessible location which we can use and is easy for us to change around and create an atmosphere that we want through easy control of lighting and a good amount of space. The logistics of the garden make it easy for us to control lighting and use a wide variety of shots.
The narrative will be set in a suburban area this is a common with in this genre. Shot in Norwich and the surrounding areas such as Anglia square and the area around the bottom of the market to give the music video the authentic suburban look.

Possible song choices

4Kicks

"I never get lost by your side"

The only known source of the song is on Unsigned.com and not much of this band is available.

Advantages:

Infinite in its music video opportunities, its a song that can be used for pretty much anything but seems to be best suited for a dark gritty video.

easy to follow, the lyrics are not too confusing and its easy to learnt the beat

catchy beat, the beat behind the song is catchy and upbeat

recording quality is pretty good

Disadvantages: 

Lyrics are not too good, a bit dull
The lyrics seem to have no relation to the songs name whatsoever
Only one source of the song exists.
song lyrics are sometimes faded out

1984

"Green Eyed Monster"
http://www.unsigned.com/1984
Advantages:
The song itself has a relatively good beat to it and as such would be easy to put together a music video to it.
the recording quality is okay
it would be easy to write a narrative for the song
Disadvantages:
The songs lyrics are not particularly good and the songs structure is a little dull and boring
the overall presentation of the song is boring and drags on.

Analysis of media language in a music video

Heathens by Twenty One Pilots is an extremely wierdly designed music video, incorporating both Suicide Squad movie footage and footage from the band themselves. However the two seem to link extremely well, there are cuts between the two that happen very quickly and are almost not recognisable. In one section the security camera system is framed so it looks like there are many more cameras next to it and in the next shot shows movie footage almost effortlessly. This in all portrays a more relocatable feel to the video, its extremely obvious that this prison is full of mad people, the portrayal of madness is effortlessly shown in the video within mere seconds.
the colour palette is dull, almost all grey scale including the jumpsuits used by the inmates this in itself portrays a dark atmosphere to the video, its dark its dangerous.

Evidence of Contacting Artist for permission over using their music
