Pitch for our music video

The song we have chosen for our main music video is 'Runaway' by Galantis. After completing primary research through an online survey that was posted on social media such as Facebook and Snapchat, we were able to find out peoples opinions on music videos that they had previously watched. This information has allowed us to come up with a plan that will meet peoples expectations. 

The Music video we will create will be just under 4:00 minutes because after having 44 people complete the questionnaire majority said that they preferred to watch a video under 4:00 minutes. This is due to if it is too long people don't bother watching anymore and just continue to listen, by them not watching as well wont allow them to recognise the video the next time it is on.

We would like to change the type of location we will film it in. Instead of it being the city at night with all the lights beaming, we would like to change it to grassy land/fields so we can give off a different atmosphere when we film it.We feel that the song speaks of someone who gets stronger and feels more alive when they're with this certain person. The lyrics 'I want to runaway' just sums up the general feelings in life of being fed up. We felt by ding it in a field or a location full of land then it would relate with each other as there is a lot of land and space, an open area just like an open mind wanting to run away.

The shots however we would like to keep similar, we would like to keep a relatively large amounts of close ups in there so that we can keep the emotions and feelings visual throughout. However in the original music video the close ups aren't there to show emotions as the main artist performing has got a mask on therefore they cannot be shown. 

There is no need for a mask or face coverage in our  film as it wont have the same lighting or the same kind of feel to it. Our video is hoped to be more chilled out as the original is quite funky.

Textual Analysis- Please don't leave me by Pink

Performance: The performance consists of Pink, the artiste dressed as a nurse, but not your typical hospital nurse. it is more of a sexy nurse outfit, which is suppose to appeal to the male gaze. Lyrics:  The song is about a couple with a a controlling girlfriend that is abusive towards her boyfriend, pushing him away but not wanting him to actually leave her. '   "I always say how I don't need you, but it's always gonna come right back to this, please don't leave me." Genre / mise en scene: The song is a Pop rock, dance pop song. whereas the video genre is horror/thriller. Camerawork: The camera is often seen following Pink, there is often the use of low angle that makes Pink appear powerful. Editing: Often the shots are continuous,especially when they are fighting at the start, they are also quite jumpy and choppy to go with their fast actions. There is a lot of back and forth with the use of continuous to show the set and the scenes. I...

Textual analysis of Toxic - Britney Spears

                                                         Britney Spears TOXIC Performance – When she is on the phone, it acts as if she is telling the story whereas the shots of her in her white suit is aimed to be more sexual and less story based. She performs every now and then in her see through suit where she dances and its quicker shots. Whereas when she’s walking on the plane its longer shots and slower crops, the shot on the plane tells more of a narrative. She is sexualised throughout the whole of the music video; however, some parts are more sexualised than others are. Shown by the costumes she is in and also movements, she is quite confident and out there, giving her a powerful image. Although the plane is filled with men she is dominant over them. Lyrics - Helps tell the story or give a general feeling or mood. Don...

Semiotics Theory by Barthes

The Theory Semiotic theory is the study of signs and symbols by a man named Roland Barthes. He researched how an audience views and interprets a piece of media. He believed that audiences looked for signs to help them understand the narrative of the media being presented. The signs are based on expectations that the audiences had due to how society believe in myths and old tales. The signs are a connotation, so a word, an image, a sound etc. Denotation is what it means literally, so for example, the word cat signifies an animal that meows or when marketing a business may use a logo with the name featured. Over time though the symbol within the logo will be the only thing that is needed as the symbol itself is recognisable and has more meaning. An example of where this has been done is for Nike. There is the logo, so the Nike tick, with the word Nike or there is the logo tick with the slogan 'Just do it'. However, where the brand has become more recognisable, Nike are...
