Evaluation- Question 1- Part 1

I will be using 2 sets of images, 1 of my own music video images, and the other will include images from different existing music videos. These 9 images show how i have used, developed and challenged forms and conventions of real media products. Above is the frame of the 9 different images, each contains an image of an existing music video and below i have named each one.


1) The Saturdays- Higher: This shot i can link into my own music video. This shot shows 'The Saturdays' dancing, this shot has 5 girls, where as my music video has 4 girls and they will also be dancing in a line up like this. They are also wearing party outfits, so are the girls in my own music video, so this shot definitely relates to my own music video.

2) Leona Lewis- Bleeding Love (US Version): This shot  demonstrates the use of lighting as a calm peaceful lighting, as the song is called 'Bleeding Love' it is a sad and moving song, therefore the lighting is soft to show emotion and tenderness.
 

3) Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed: This shot illustrates how  my video  music genre would be, in my music video there is a particular scene where there are sparkles on a dress that will shine and look blinging and this particular shot reminds me of it. This illustrates the pop genre in the video.

4) Wiz Khalifa- Roll Up: This particular shot shows the way a record company would want their artist to be represented, as 'Wiz Khalifa' is an 'American Rapper' this shot shows tattoos, bling aka jewellery, baseball jackets and graffiti, representing a typical rappers image.

5) Bruno Mars- The Lazy Song: This shot shows an intertextual reference, monkeys as being lazy, and the shot it shows he doesn't want to do anything, 'Bruno Mars' himself and the monkeys are all wearing shades and similar shirts, and doing the same pose' hence the song title 'The Lazy Song' doing the same thing and having the same transformation.
 

6) Mariah Carey- We Belong Together: This shot demonstrates the use of camera, it shows an over the shoulder shot, and on the shot you can see the reflection of 'Mariah Carey' on the mirror.

7) Keri Hilson- The Tide Is High: This shot shows a piece of mise en scene 'The Mic' as you can see 'Keri Hilson' is using it and singing, a mic like this was used in our music video, and also a similar camera shot.

8) Nicki Minaj- Super Bass: This shot shows a link between lyrics and music and visuals. In the video 'Nicki Minaj' sings 'Oh it be like, boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass' and in the background whilst she's dancing there are 8 basses, so there is a link to the song lyrics which you can see visually.

9) Chipmunk Feat. Mavado - Every Gya: This shot i can link into my own music video. This shot shows 'Chipmunk' speaking to a girl, showing he is keeping her content and satisfied. There 4 similar shots in my own music video when all 4 girls are after 1 boy, as the one boy keeps them all happy. So this shot also relates to my music video.
