People Within the Music Video

As I'm not fully sure how many people will be mainly filmed within the music video as the song could be suitable for even only one person as long as it's filmed effectively and has a great look to it, However my main aim is to have two or three people, All having their own look to add to the music video as well as the main look I am wanting for the lead singer. However I will be planning out the whole storyboard and seeing which would look best and where, also where it could be suitable to have more then one main performer.

Idea's of Costume and Make-Up

My thoughts so far on how the singer's apperance should be is he or they should be dressed to stand out and over the top, meaning make-up and crazy funky hair along with black or white clothes with jewellery such as earrings, necklaces, rosarys, braclets, wristbands, belts and studs. These are all possibilties on making the singer or people stand out beyond the normal everyday person, also creating a interesting unique look to the audiences eye hopefully keeping them entertained on what is happening beyond the style. My main thought is to keep them far away as the normal everyday people and go a step further into a more rocky crazy look.

Pictures of Locations

I am still currently searching on the most suitable of locations for the idea's I've had in mind. The main look I am going for is both Light and very dark places which I'm hoping to get highlighted up with neon lights or glow sticks giving a unoridinary creepy but interesting look to it whilst the performance is going on.

Music Video's - Performance

All Time Low

 

These music videos of All Time Low caught my eye on performance mainly because of one of them is pure live performance but still makes a super effective music video. Also the other video looks as if it could be a little bit of narrative however It doesn't purely follow it to me feels like it's own short of little performance within a performance.

Bring Me The Horizon



What I like with the performance within these two music videos by Bring Me The Horizon is the fact that they maintain the speed to the song, even though it is extremely fast beat and heavy. Also it brings excitement to the eye purely from their quick and effective movements.

Breathe Carolina

These music video's by Breathe Carolina are quick and very effective and look amazing even when there's not much happening, the main image is the stars which are easily seen even within a crowd allowing the viewers to notice them. Also a main thing in their videos even though it's performance based is there are a lot of women.

Music Video's - Narrative

Fall Out Boy

Music Video Song Choice

For my Year 13 music video the song I have chosen to do is Adam Lambert - Whataya want from me. The reason why I have chosen this song is because he is not a world wide known artist as he has only been singing for a few years now and isn't populated as he should be with his incredible voice and amazing songs. He became to singing after being a threatre performer and then going onto American Idol in which he came second in, however is working on his second album coming out soon next year.

Adam Lambert - Whataya Want From Me

I believe I can make a very good performance based music video to this song along with perhaps some narrative however that is not the main priority in my mind. But as this song is not to fast it makes the lip singing much easier on myself and whoever else appears in the video, also as there is a beat it also helps create in my mind when and where to place a edit. As there is a slow beat at the start and a faster beat mid way it helps me understand the time I've got to create tension on the viewer so they keep watching and being entertained, and as it slows down again a bit after but not to much it can help maintain the excitement.

Voice
I believe that if you want to make a suitable music video to a song, especially highly performance based ones which use lip singing need to match in view the sound of the voice to give ultimate excitement depending on the voice itself whilst performing, as sometimes it can look confusing or weird if the person's appearance doesn't look suitable to the voice.

Music Video Preliminary Task - Music Promo

This is the outcome of our prelimnary task in where we had to create a music video which lasts roughly 1 to 2 minutes.

Favourite Director of Music Video - Patrick Fogarty

Favourite Music Video Director

My recent favourite director of music videos would have to be Patrick Fogarty. Mainly because of his recent music videos on rock and independant bands which I'm huge fans of and particually found the music videos to their songs excellent and superb, along with very unique and exciting. He has done work with my favourite band Black Veil Brides along with Blood On The Dance Floor. he has done roughly 4 music videos for Black Veil Bride out of their 5. These consist of : Knives and Pens, Perfect Weapon, The Legacy and their newly released music video Rebel Love Song. Along with Blood On The Dance Floors most recent music video Bewitched.















The reason in which why he is my favourite director of music videos is purely because the style he produces them in catch my eye and I'd consider a lot of the viewers eye also. He produces amazingly performance and narrative music videos declaring on whatever style the music.
