Mood board


Our initial ideas

 For our mood board which is filled with ideas, we looked at many videos to see which kind of artistes songs we would like to do we also viewed videos that would be easier and more effective for us to video or try and recreate as we are only students therefore we have less equipment and not so much resources to work with. Therefore some of the videos we looked at or ideas we had or received from watching other videos we couldn't do or would have to adapt to fit our equipment time and technology we have in the school.

 We then got ideas on the types of videos we would like to recreate for our prelim, we looked at Jess Glynns song " Take me home", as being our final piece to recreate as it was pretty simple and includes a large quantity of lip syncing as most shots includes the lip syncing. However we decided that it wasn't the typical music video with fast cuts full of fun and excitement.

 For our actual recreation of a music video we looked at more lively videos, one we had a look at and studied was 'Runaway" which is very up beat and has a funky background with city backgrounds.
Below is a mood board of  ideas we had for our music videos we was intending on recreating. However we would like to do our video completely different location and way, but we would like to keep the shots the same as we like some of the shots used for different parts of the song.


This is our first mood board of ideas from the music video itself. We liked the idea of the lights they stood out and sat nicely with the lyrics of 'running away'  We liked the shot where the main actor of the music video is focused on and the background is all blurry this helps add to the fact that all that going on around them is cancelled out and they are just isolated at the front ignoring all around them.

 Also in this mood board there is two close ups placed which is another thing we liked because they are showing the actor upfront showing its a mainstream song, the reason behind liking the close ups is because this song has a lot of lyrics that sound as though its to do with feelings and the close ups help show feelings.

Website analysis of Dua Lipa

Website Home Page The home page features a black and white theme keeping it simple and modern. The photo featured is of the artist 'Dua Lipa'. This is to show the artist on the main page and this is because that is what her fans want to see when they click onto her website. The use of the male gaze is used as she is seen drawing attention to her lips by holding up the flower to her mouth. This is so that she hits both genders in different ways. There is also a navigation bar featuring white headings that when you hoover over them they underline and this is to help you navigate your way around the website easily. By having the navigation at the top and easy to see just means that they're more likely to keep navigating and exploring the website as the navigation bar will be able to show more things to explore when hovered over. There are also a range of social media logos including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Spotify, Apple and emails.  The...

Equipment/Lighting decisions in our music video

Lighting is very important in music videos, as it allows it to be easier to see and also as it sets certain moods and atmospheres. An example of this would be, if we used low amount of lighting then it'll be setting a dull and sad atmosphere which would help highlight the meaning behind the song is not a positive atmosphere. Also the other way round as well, as if a large amount of colour is used then it'll set a more upbeat atmosphere and show that they're more likely to be given a positive media video to see.  Jessie J clip Here is a clip of Jessie J where she has dull lighting which represents the atmosphere as dull and an unhappy situation. The song is of a sad subject, it is negative song lyrics, this is helped by the lighting as its all dull however she is shown with a little more light over her so that she is highlighted as the main  This music video gives an impression of a dull meaning behind it just by the setting...

Evaluation 1 - In what ways do your music product use, develop and challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

A shot that shows a link between lyrics and/or music and visuals.  One point during the song the lyrics are 'catching fire as the wind blows'. We have used a clip within our video where we have tried to portray those lyrics. This was done through the use of a candle and a girl blowing the candle out. The girl represents the wind whilst the candle represents the fire. A shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artist to be represented. The record company would want the artist to be represented in a way that teenagers can relate them. This is very apparent as the girl in the video wants to feel loved and you could interpret it as she has gone through a break up. Something in which every teenager at some point in their life has experienced. A shot that illustrates how your video uses music genre Typically the video genre is actually techno, but we have interprete...
