Charlotte Gainsbourg - Deadly Valentine
The ‘Deadly Valentine’ music video contains a narrative demonstrating a couple growing up together from toddlers to an elderly couple. I am planning to create a narrative in my music video, which is inspired by this idea of progression, by demonstrating the artist in my video starting as unknown and everyday people, becoming world famous in the music industry. I will achieve primarily through the location of their performances. For example, at the start of the video, the group will be seen practising in a bedroom at home before progressing to playing in halls, local venues, small gigs and finally at a stadium concert such as the o2.

 I also like the editing technique used to emphasis certain beats of the music. This happens when there is a bass for example, a cut is used to change the scene and location, and sometime props and costumes. I would like to imitate this is my music vide by cutting to a new location when there's a new beat in the music as it think this makes the transition and cut smoother and less noticeable.








Something Good Can Work - Two Door Cinema Club
This another example of a similar music video to the one I want to create. Firstly, I like the use of mine-en-scene with the use of locations. For example, the artists travel to a new location on a beat, and are then seen performing at this location afterwards. in terms of shooting this for my own video, I like this idea because the fact that we can see the artists travelling to the new location, means I can set the scene of the venue, how large it is, how popular the band is and this presents the narrative aspect of the video followed by the performative aspect when the band reaches the location and performs there. I could use this method in time with the song, for example when the chorus is playing the band will be performing the song, however for the gaps in between the verse and chorus (the bridge) the band will be seen travelling to the new location and this will be when the location is presented, with the aim of demonstrating the increasing popularity of the band as they progress through new locations and venues.

I also like the editing in this song in terms of the cuts. Like the previous music video mentioned, the music is used to smoothen a cut. This happens in this song when the video quickly cuts multiple times between two scenes in time with the beat of the music, before completely transitioning once the music beat settles, as seen below:

Email To Production Company Regarding Copyrights

Email To Production Company Regarding Copyrights Dear Sir, or Madam, I am writing in regards to the copyrights of the song ‘The Is The Life’ by Two Door Cinema Club and potential use of the track in coursework I will be submitting for an A Level in Media Studies. I am currently studying music videos and production companies and have been set the task of shooting and producing a music video, for a song of the pop genre by the exam board, alongside launching a fictional production company and record label. After research into production companies, music video production and the pop genre, I came to the conclusion that the song I wanted to produce a music video for was ‘This Is The Life’ by Two Door Cinema Club as I believe I can produce a video that accompanies the theme and style of the song. In order to use ‘This Is The Life’ in the production of a music video, I require permission from Maison Kitsuné due to copyright of the song. The completed music video will be availab...

Synopsis

The narrative of my music video is the progression of a group of artists from being complete strangers to performing at some of the largest venues in the world. My video will present the progress primarily through the use of mise-en-scene, with the locations and props becoming larger and more advanced throughout the song. The performative element of my music video will be the band performing at each venue that is being presented as a progression of the band. For example, I will use the location of a small, local venue, at which the establishing shots of this venue will fulfil the narrative in my video but demonstrating the band performing there will fulfil the performative aspect of the video. The representation of my song will be presented through the use of male and female crew members as the members of the band. I will be representing male and female and the empowerment of women. This will be achieved through presenting women in roles which stereotypically are male roles, such a...

Song Choice

Song Choice Two Door Cinema Club - This Is The Life This artist is very based on guitars with no drums nor typical band of a rock genre for example, which is why Two Door Cinema can be classed under the pop genre. This song is very upbeat, with  high pitched vocals and use of guitars, similar to the style of George Ezra of the Sony Production Company and of a typical pop genre artist such as Harry Styles, who's vocals are quite high, without a deep or musky tone. 'This Is The Life' has clear use of repeated choruses and melodic tunes, identities of a pop song. The song also has a basic format with the use of a simple chorus and verse which we see in this song with the repeated use of the lyrics 'this is the life' in the chorus. The song's length is also a signifier of the pop genre with the song being short to medium in length, being 3 minutes 30 seconds.
