Audience research survey

On this page I have produced a survey to gather some intel on what a typical audience would like in a music video. This will be useful for me as it will help me get more ideas for my music video i will be producing.

When I get results on this survey i will be using what people prefer in a music video to put in my own video.

In order to get more results and a wider range of answers i decided to share my survey on my twitter page to the people who follow me so they can answer it.

Mock Digipack

This is a mock digipack i have produced i decided to use screen shots from the video i have produced in this to see how it would look.

As you can see some of the pictures i used on here did work quite well but i my own opinion I do not think that it looks professional enough and would look better with more still photos so in making my final digipack I will be taking different shots of the members of the band and the full band together. 

Magazine advert analysis (Kings of leon - Mechanical Bull)

On this video I will be analysing an advert for an album that has been produced the album I decided to use on this page is the album "mechanical bull" by the band "kings of leon" this album was released in 2013.

Creative music video two

I decided to look at a different type of music video for a bit more of an idea on different music videos. the second creative i chose to look at is "Radioactive" by "imagine dragons" i decided to look at this video because it is also an unusual type of video but this seems to have some sort of story line behind it.

As you can see on the video it is almost like it has two story lines, I presume this is to make the audience think about it which will make it harder to forget the song. By doing this it could possibly increase the target audience as if some people are not a fan of the music they may still enjoy the music video.

Recording locations

On this page I will be discussing where the recording for the video I want to produce. I decided for the shots I did of the band playing the instruments during the videos it would be a good idea to use the college music rooms as it is a good facility that a band would use to practice and would fit in with the music video very well

as for other locations i decided to use a room to show the singer singing in a room and looking himself in the mirror this will be useful to show a bit of scenery in the video and will hopefully help me achieve more marks.

Creative music video

In this part of my research I decided to look at some creative music videos that I may use some ideas from when i produce my music video. The video I chose to use for this is "Pompeii" by "Bastille". Bastille are an up and coming band that have been recently realised the song "Pompeii" is off their debut album named "Bad blood"which has been quite successful.
As you can see on the video it is unusual and different from other music videos that have been made in the past. This is why I will use elements of this video as inspiration whilst i am producing mine.

Choice of shots

I have chose many shots for the video i will produce but the main ones i will be using are medium shots, i will be using this to show members of the band and the instruments they will be playing and close up shots, this will be used to show the lead singer of the band to show the expression on his face when he is singing the words of the song this will be important for the music video as it will give the audience more of a feel to the song and finally the next important shot used will be long shot this will be used to show the full band playing the song this is important as it will show all the members of the band playing together.

Problems with band

During my recording progress with the first band I gathered to feature in the video I want to produce. This band did not co-operate very well and did not have the level of organisation skills that I needed to help me with the recording I wanted to do as certain band members cancelled on me on the last day. This forced me to find a new band that would co-operate more with me in order to help me produce the video in time to meet the deadline.
