Moodboard of good websites that have inspired you in your planning

Our moodboard

Here is a mood board of some images which show the websites that we have looked at and liked things about them, we tried to get a selection of websites to help us with ideas. All with different bits about them that we liked and inspired us to choose them. These four websites we have used are all the same genre as our music video is. They are all the POP genre.The mood board we created is below - 





















Olly Murs
The first image which is of Olly Murs' website where he has used a black and white background with black and mint green text. This is  effective as the text stands out well against the background which gives a positive enhancement on the website as the text needs to be bold against the background. The home page is positioned well as there is the image on the right hand side with the text positioned on the left with his name in bold letters as it is his website. There is only three colour used in this website, background is grey, black and green text. Simple but effective website.

Katy Perry
The next website that e found that we liked the look of that inspired us is Katy Perry's website. Where we was really attracted to the large scale image placed in the middle of the page on the home page it displays an abstract image or Katy Perry herself, the artist. It is a completely plain background which is white with black text and a title in funky text. The photo is over powering and grabs the attention, making a viewer more likely to go further into the website and explore it. The website is again pretty simple but the bright bold colours used in the image is creative and impressive. It brings the personality of her music into her website.

Justin Bieber
The third website we decided to include on our moodboard as we liked the website was Justin Bieber's. The website is all in black and white the background of the website, the text and even the image shown on the home page. The more you scroll down the more colour is added to the site as it brings different colour boxes. However when you look at he site from first glimpse when you first go onto the website it shows just the simple colours of black and white. The image doesn't say much it is just a simple image of the artist from angles that don't show an upfront picture of Justin himself.

Rihanna
Our fourth website we decided to use was Rihanna's which is again simple. The page has an image of her directly in the middle which is cut off at the bottom with a sepia white background saying her name and some tour dates. This web page is more creative, it displays more information than others. She has all the navigation down the side which is unusual as most other websites display them across the top. They would usually be in the same place and they all seem to follow the same layout. 

Summary

All four websites we have chosen excluding Kat Perry's site, have been minimal colours and very little information. However Katy Perry's page is bright and colourful from. the images. From here websites, it has helped us decide that we could like to do a white or black background with a bright/bold photo of the artist in the middle. This is to combine the websites that have inspired us by keeping a plain background however mixing it with a bright image to liven it up.

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...
