How to Love by Shameik Moore

The video provides good skill of editing that might be useful in our music video.

1. The video shows variety of editing skills the best one I prefer was the split screening of two persons speaking in the phone.

2. Slow motion of dissolving used in the video is another good example that we can imply in our video.

3. Framing technique used is something unusual but it some how shows the meaning.

Cover by Adam Stanton

This Video is a good example to support our music video as it has some wonderful ideas for instance, the camera shots are brilliant to show the girl's natural beauty and her innocence.

I was hugely inspired by the girl in the video as she is a similar kind of character we would like to have in our music video. For instance, the character in the video is blonde, innocent and she is shown as harmless by the cruel world. But as the camera zooms we can see her other side .The side which is been damaged and she is struggling to find the way out.The other best thing is that the story is told in the girl's point of view.

Vague idea of story line behind our music video

Our Music Survey shows flexibility of everything but among all female singers are the strongest. As there is the high percentage of audiences listening to R&B singer like Chris Brown. We decided to do Lil Wayne- How To Love but before coming to final decision we did agreed to do Chris Brown -Beautiful People but unfortunately there was not enough sources we needed in the music video for exmaple we did not have props we needed and having less people  were our weakest point.

MediaProductions- Previous Wrok

Media productions: Finished Peice

Strength points

• Camera shots are very effective as it has created more than one meaning.
• Artist's lip synching is accurate and fluent which perfectly blends with the song.
• Instruments are used correctly and effectively.

Weakness points

• The weather was a huge disappointment as it did not suited with the song as the song should have needed more cheerful surrounding and sunny weather.
• Customs were very appealing as again it did not suited with the song.
• Instead of long shots and establishment shots there should have been more close ups and mid shots for instance, there should have more close ups and mid shots of a girl, after all the song is about her.

Previous Student Work

The Cave by Golden Tongue


Strength:
Have an effective camera shots which symbolises girl's loneliness.
The singer has an excellent lip syncing and plays guitar well.
Location was the most eye capturing as the woods and plain fields symbolised girl's isolation and it also reflect her sad mood.
Editing was just mind blowing.It was interesting,creative and clever.

Weakness:
More Close ups and proper costumes would have made the music video more popular and likeable.

Rap Genius

I was recommend by a friend to use the website 'Rap Genius' to get a deeper meaning into the lyrics from the song we are doing, lil wayne 'How To Love'. I found the website really useful as we can look deeper into the meaning of the song which will help us when making our music video! 

'Love The Way You Lie' Music Video

The Music Video Of 'Love The Way You Lie' by Eminem and Rihanna shows the highs and lows of a violent relationship. It is set in an old american house where it shows big fights in one shot and then the loving side to their relationship in the next shot. I think it makes the video seem really realistic because they are showing the different sides to relationships. When Eminem and Rihanna are in the shot they are standing in front of the same house which is then burning down. This gives the song a very dramatic feel. The Lighting that is used is very dark and dull which shows that it is not a happy song and reflects the characters in the videos moods. Close ups of Rihanna's face when singing is used to show the emotion she is reflecting through the song.

How to love by Lil wayne
