Presentation from Phil

Phil has worked in the industry for over 20 years and has worked with Jamariquai, Spice Girls and many more. 

These were his main points that he made:

  • The music industry in the uk is worth 4 Billion pounds 
  • Music videos came along in the early 80s and unblocked a constipated film industry 
  • Music videos were a creative playground for directors and producers 
  • Music videos played around with the extensions of film itself 
  • Music videos were made to promote the artists and their most recent music

He then showed us a bunch of music videos he had made before and what surprised me a lot and the most valuable thing I learned was that sometimes when things don’t go to plan and you deal with whatever you have, you can often have better outcomes. It showed me that I still have time and if the new idea doesn't stick it doesn't mean that our video won’t be as good because we haven't had so much time.

Analysing sound in a scene from Shutter Island

Image
In this essay I will be analysing the sound in a scene from Shutter Island. Martin Scorsese uses multiple sound techniques in order to show the audience specific themes in this scene and to give them an idea on what to look out for.  The sound pattern in the scene:  Classical music:  Start: Contrapuntal, non-diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound -  Contrapuntal, non-diegetic sound  Middle: Parallel, diegetic sound - Parallel, non-diegetic sound, Contrapuntal diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound  End: Contrapuntal diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound. As the Teddy and Chuck are showed in to the office of Dr Crawley we start to hear classical music fade in. We then see a high angle shot of the building as the music gets louder transitioning into the indoors scene. From this we can assume it was used as a sound bridge to keep the scene flowing and catch the audiences attention as the scene progresses. After some dialogu...

Similar Products - Mura Masa - What If I Go? (Music Video)

The 'What if I go?' music video shares many of the same aspects that we aim to have for our music video and we have partially shaped our music video concept from this. The idea of youth culture in London is something that I feel is important and get's mis-interpreted a lot of time. This video breaks away from this and the viewers get an insight of what it's really like to be a part of the London youth culture. It also explores young love with the flirtatious couples in the video. The video has a very raw, gritty feel to it. It doesn't seem set up and has a genuine feel to it. This combined with the way the video has been shot and the aesthetics each shot leaves the viewers with a very clear and accurate idea of what the London youth is about. It's clear that the outfits that the people are wearing are clothes they wear everyday and haven't been asked to wear something that they feel uncomfortable in. It's also very clear that they are comfortable...

Finding our concept - Idea 2

Image
At first we decided to use t a combination of ideas for our 2nd concept however since then we have coe up with something completely  different to our last idea. This is what we had came up with before, heres a brief description  Aidan had wrote on his blog. "After combining our two previous ideas into one, we were now left wi a large gap to fill. This was a whole second idea we had to come up with and further develop. We took a lot more time thinking about this idea and making it different enough from the first one. However in the end we had decided on a final idea. Our second idea would incorporate my silhouette idea, and Mima’s animation idea. It would be a much more simple idea as it would involve only a rapper in the studio. He would be on a green screen that we would turn white or possibly just a white background and be rapping and dancing etc. Similarly to Bruno Mars’ music video of “That’s what I like” small animations would be around him or on him. Possibly ...
