First we came up with ideas, which are more modern, with the location being on top of buildings looking down to the city of Bangkok. However, that'll just change the theme, making it really confusing so we just stuck with the historic idea of thai culture. That will not just make it easier to film, but to also make the audience at least get an idea of what the music video is trying to say, rather than just a random mv with locations thrown in.
This coming Saturday, we'll be going on a trip to HUAHINNN!! The reason being is there's this Thai Ancient market, deliberately built to show what was like back in the 90's.
PLEARN WAN
This would go really well with our theme for our music video, portraying the mind set of the character, showing what it's like in her head. Since she's been waiting for the love of her life for so long, this music video would take her back in time, showing how long it's been since his departure. WAT PRA KAEW This is our second location. The temple will show her innocence and how sincere she is, yet people look at her as if she was a monster( all in her head ). The temple will give out this peaceful subtle vibe in contrast to other locations we'll be filming at.
Miley Cyrus is in the midst of making a heated point about animal rights, and she's getting so worked up about it her cheekbones are jabbing the keypad of the telephone, punctuating our conversation with errant beeps. She's calling from "the middle of the jungle" or, more specifically, a tiny island in the Caribbean, where she's on vacation with her family. "If you could see where I am right now, you would be laughing so hard," she says. "I feel like I'm in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, and something is about to zap me into nothingness."
Cyrus almost immediately starts talking about how she decided to become a vegan last year. She was touring the world in support of Bangerz, her platinum 2013 album, when her beloved dog, Floyd, an Alaskan Klee Kai, was mauled by a coyote. She quit consuming animal products almost immediately. She hasn't spoken much about the switch, but she says that she's finally ready to be held accountable to be an example.
It turns out Cyrus is deeply interested in accountability. At 22, she's perhaps her generation's most unlikely social activist, and also one of its most powerful. Now she's harnessing that influence to counter what she sees as an unacceptable reality: young people being persecuted and cast out for their sexuality.
1. The main purpose of music videos is the fact that it helps people understand the song and the lyrics more, in cases where the MV is linked to the song. This tells the story analyzing the song at the same time. If the majority of people are able to relate to the song, the mv will help them understand the what's going on and may it more relatable to them as it contains visual story making it realistic.
2.ENTERTAINMENTTTT!!! People may as well stay and listen to the music longer because of how entertaining the MV could be. This may have nothing to do with the song but the music video is very interesting itself. This will extend the time spent watching the video as well as forcing them to listen to the song loner. This may have an effect on them later as the song may repeat itself in their heads and that they might just come back and purchase the song
3. To advertise the producer, Writer AND OF COURSE THE SINGER!
- For the singer to be acknowledge and to be more well known. Both music and singer are included in the music video. This could be another type of self promotion. It could be that the music's not that great but that we're a fan of the singer or a particular band. This therefore makes them watch the mv or may even end up buying the music, just for the sake of their fandom.
SYNERGYYYY
If the music video is really good and is known for it , this may further promote the music video as well as the artist. If the artist is really famous so as the music video, this will just make both of the products really well known and together will create a perfect synergy. This will make it even more profitable for both producers and the artist.
This was the song introduced by my year 2 teacher. I remember how he'd always play this class as he think it "calms us down". I remember walking into class nearly every morning with this song playing. I have attached loads of memories to this song, and it reminds me a lot of my childhood. The song itself is also very good, sometimes I'd imagine myself being at the beach ( i know, weird) listening to this song. This song is still in my phone and has been since 2004.
This songggggg!!!! It was introduced by my best friend back then, still is today. My point is, we used to listen to this song every single day and tried to sing along except that we probably got all the lyrics wrong. I remember going on expeditions in year 4 listening to this, really does bring back memories.
This song was in my phone during the summer of 2013. I went to this summer camp in the uk, listening to this song . I remember being so home sick on my first day there and that i'd listen to this song, trying to cheer myself up. On my second day, everything got better and at the end it was the best summer i've ever had. The people there were so nice, the activities were COUNTLESSSS. I've attached all the good memories to this song and my heart in 2013. Every time I listen to this song i feel as if i'm back to the summer of 2013..
Petals First scene- starts off in the morning, by the end of
the video it’s night time. This emphasizes how the song is about how she’s
waiting for him to come back and how long it is taking her.
We came up of a bunch of ideas, involving around different
locations in Bangkok, looking specifically at Thai culture. We want the first
scene to be a bunch of locations together, gathering all the venues we’ll be
shooting at. Places like Floating markets, Wat pra kaew, yawarat (China town),
wat pho, jajujak market, jao praya waterside. (THIS IS DURING THE DAY).
Bad stuff they think of in the head (the reality of people,
what is in people’s mind)
At the beginning of every music video project, there is a need to work with the artist to define a desired treatment. A video treatment, also known as video concept, outlines information with regards to what the music video will be about. Conceptually, a music video could show the artist performin
1. The fact that our cuts match the up-beat beat of the song, making it interesting throughout the whole music video.
2. Our music video also has a story, since its only 1 min long, it's better to just have a story behind the music video rather than just making it exactly the same as the original music video.
3. Our lip-syncing was on point. Our lip-syncing match the lyrics, and that was what made this video flow really well.
3 things i want to improve on
1 . We should play with the camera more, make the camera be a part of the music video.eg, the gif above 2. We should include a dance which will brighten up the mood of the music video. This is mainly because the footage we took were all story-like.
We could add a dance to make it more like a music video.
3. Some shots were over exposed meaning that it was too bring in some scenes. The contrast between the lighting between each scenes made it uncomfortable.
PEER FEEDBACK
My response.
I strongly agree on what she said about how i could improve. Honestly, i didn't know we were supposed to make it just like the original, so i combined that with a story line our group came up with. That is basically why it's very different from the original music vid. Although it's very different, there were also some similarities like how we looked like we had so much in the music vid. Overall, the footage we took went really well with the song, how we tried many camera angles may also be one of the similarities with the original music vid.
The comparison video
For our comparison video, it is very obvious that it's very different form the original. To be honest, i really didn't know we had to make it really similar to the Bruno's vid. Therefore what we did was , we just thought of the plot ( since its only 1 min) and started to film, making it into a story. We played with the camera angles a lot, and that could be one of the main similarities. The duration of each scene is also very short, much like the original vid.
This was my first attempt using other people's footage, to create this masterpiece.
- There were all together about 6-7 footage and what we had to do was to combine all that and put together a music video.
EDITING PROCESS
1. First I imported the song and locked it, making sure it stays where it should be. I then imported the first clip, muting the video so that the music won't interfere the original music. 2. I then had to combine different clips, to match the beat of the song. I did this to make sure the scenes are always cutting and not just one long scene ( which will be very boring). 3. I learnt that it is very important that everything is in place and that the lip-syncing and the music match.
List and Reflect upon where you find new music hits) i itunes, the radio :D

CHOCOLATE- 1975 In
this particular shot the lead singer is shown smoking. The black and
white themed video really emphasizes the smoke, which can also act as
a guide to where the singer’s mind is currently at, talking his
minds off things. The singer is in the underground tunnel making it
way darker to emphasize his presence and actions which stood out from
the dark background. This is a mid- shot showing his clothes which
suits the style of music they make (indie-pop). What I learnt from
that is how back and white videos can really bring out the presence
of people in the video and light coloured objects which can create
deeper meanings in videos.
KODALINE- HIGH HOPES
This
shot shows a person drawing on the window with her fingers. Her
actions tells the story very well which could also indicate how she’s
feeling or even what is running through her mind. The setting is in a
car which could also mean that she’s leaving a place full of
memories with her soul still there where she left, which was
expressed out on the drawing. The bright light behind those windows
shows the drawing clearly making it more visible to the audience.
This video taught me how a shot which could be 2 seconds long can
tell us the whole story of what is going on; therefore it is very
important to choose their actions carefully with meanings. There’s
no point of putting something irrelevant into the video or the music,
which will just make it confusing for the audience.
DEMI LOVATO- SKYSCRAPER
In this scene Demi (singer) is holding
up a frame which is within the frame of the music video. Which could
mean that she’s feeling trapped and wants to escape? The setting
however is at some open desert in contrast to her actions which
points out the mixed feelings she has. It could be for someone or
towards something based on the music. This music video had taught me
that the choice of props are very essential and can be used as a
narrator, helping the audience understand the video as well as the
music.
GD&TOP- ZUTTER
This is close-up shot. Bringing out
G-Dragon’s smile. All the makeup and little details on his face can
be seen through this, even his emotions. His orange hair really suits
the colours that were thrown into this music video which also tells
us more about his personality traits. G-dragon can be seen as this
messed up trouble maker kid through the makeup (bleeding lips) and
the messy hair. This taught me how makeup can be really useful when
it comes to describing what someone’s like in terms of their
personality.
