Post 32: PLANNING: Sound

SOUND

The song we are using for our music video: 'I'll try anything for once' - By The Strokes

WHAT IS DIEGETIC SOUND? – Diegetic sound is any sound presented as originated from source within the film’s world. Diegetic sound can be either on screen or off screen depending on whatever its source is within the frame or outside the frame.
ARE YOU PLANNING ON USING DIEGETIC SOUND IN YOUR MUSIC VIDEO? – I think it has crossed our minds that it could look appropriate in our music video, if done right. I think it would be most successful in the opening or ending scene in my opinion because then you don’t have to overlap the song which can over-complicate things. 

WHAT SORT OF DIEGETIC SOUND WOULD YOU USE? – If we did decide to use diegetic sound we would probably do the sounds of the characters walking on the gravel on the beach or clinking glasses together when inside. This will bring out a more realism between the characters and make it seem not as staged as some music videos may look. However, this option may change when we are editing, in the final stages. 
ARE YOU GOING TO USE LIP-SYNCING IN YOUR MUSIC VIDEO? – Because it is a form and convention of music videos in general, as well as the performance aspect, we don't want to use lip-syncing in our music video, mainly because we want to challenge this convention. We also want to tell a story and we think this would pull the audience out of it, almost reminding them that it's not a true story. 

LYRICS
Below are the lyrics of the song we want to use. Even though the lyrics tell a story of a romantic relationship, and our story is about two sisters and their friendship, we think that the sentiment is about love as a whole and the music video would overlook the difference.

Post 55: EVALUATION Q.3

Q.3 WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK? Firstly, here is my plan for answering Evaluation Question 3:  THE QUESTIONNAIRE: Some answers from three different people taken verbally after they have watched the music video and looked at the ancillary tasks, (the poster and the Digi-Pak): Then, I asked one woman aged 51+ and two boys aged 17 to answer it. Here were their responses:  - woman (purple pen) - boys (black pen) - A video we created taking some more answers: What have I learnt from my audience feedback? To gain feedback I wanted to specifically talk to people who were part of my target audience, which was younger people, but I also spoke to few people from an older generation to make sure it was inclusive. I did this by showing people my music video on youtube and then printing out my digi-pak and poster and presented them in the interview. I then asked them questions in a discussion or interview; but I also used

Post 33: PLANNING: Editing

EDITING Our editing style, we know already, we plan to be slow and not heavily edited in port-production with long takes that can really take in the story, to fit the more sombre tone of the song, rather than be heavily edited with lots of cuts that can come out as jumpy and fast. We also want to focus on the sisters, so the cameras will often be rolling for a longer time on the sisters and their movement and not just just on and off for certain shots that are pieced together later to make the story. Below is an example of one longer shot that we could use, instead of lots of little ones, when shooting in the car moving from one sister across to the other: NARRATIVE: Above is a video I found on YouTube roughly describing what narrative is. It helped me understand the meaning of narrative and how it is used.  LINEAR NARRATIVE  -  Linear narratives  present stories in a logical manner by telling what happens from one point in time to the next without using flashbacks

Post 6: Key Music Videos Timeline

POST 6: PRACTICE TASK - KEY MUSIC VIDEOS TIMELINE    This research is to discover the key turning points in music videos in the last century leading up until now. Before we started, the only inclination we had was that Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was important and was a major turning point with creating a storyline with the music video so it was interesting for all of us to see where it originally came from and who influenced the creation of music videos all of the world.  Our online presentation for the Key Music Video Timeline can be found: HERE.
