Music Video: Edit 2

-

In this edit, my partner focused more on the chorus of the song to see if she could make a clear separation between the dancing clips and the non-dancing clips. She wanted to edit each clip as it appeared on the song in order to relate back to the correlation of the visual, the audio and the lyrics. (Andrew Goodwin’s 6 key aspects of a music video) She believed this would help the music video look more polished and professional.

She mentions how she wants to fit Dyers Star theory to the music video by correlating the visuals and the lyrics to each other. The correlation she creates merges the music to the visuals by having the model visually dancing, therefore, suiting the upbeat tempo of the song.

DISCLAIMER:


I was not part of the creation of this music video. I had no availability during this time to help her edit this music video. I have made no contribution to this edit.

Analysis: J Cole - False Prophets (Music Video)

J Cole  – False Prophets - J Coles video for his song “False Prophets” is performed in a very informal way, basically walking through his day showing us, the viewers, a day in his life, in his neighborhood surrounded by everyday encounters. It's filmed in a loose, shaky way as if it were filmed by an amateur. At the beginning of this video the artist, J Cole, is sat on the seat of a bus stop watching out for the bus. The environment he is surrounded by seems familiar according to his calm and natural attitude. The cutaway shots between when Cole raps towards the camera show snippets of children playing, men sitting outside a corner shop, people we suppose he would see on a day to day walk in his neighborhood, we see him taking pictures with fans, standing to rapping outside a house that seems familiar to him. This gives us the feeling that he is in a place he feels comfortable with, a place he is familiar with, with people he may now. We see different people from

Practice Video: Music Video 1

Mushaboom – Feist (Music Video) In this first attempt at making a full music video learned a lot. I learned: - when to queue a transition and how to add the correct transition - how to edit videos so that it looks like they were all filmed with the same lighting and effects - to match stop in the song to transitions, and finally - to always plan before filing a music video. For this video, we filmed at various locations around London, more specifically Warren Street. it was around 4.30pm in February resulting in an early sunset so when we filmed it was beginning to get dark. by the end of it, the sky was pitch black. Before we met up to film we asked our model to wear dark clothing with a pop of colour with hair braided in one way or another. She kindly agreed, and the look tied in perfectly with the settings we had planned to visit. The reason we asked her to braid her hair was to add an element of culture to the character that we wanted to create.
