New Storyboard

Music Videos that I intend would be similar to my own

. In terms of colouring , they all share the 'grainy' effect which makes the video distinctive as now we would see this effect as a convention of music during this period however , it was considered normal for them. I want to go with this grainy effect to add an 'old skool' feel to it and personally i believe it also adds an essence of personalism , like a home video.


. They also tend to focus predominantly on the performer rather than mise en scene and background actors/dancer even though these were included. These videos were also shot in dim lighting which adds to the grainy effect which is something i want to replicate

Team Meeting

Today we discussed an issue that was barricading us from completing out music video. The availability of our actress was becoming a problem so we decided to get a new actress to fill in the space. As we were on a tight schedule getting the new actress to learn the initial song would've been time consuming so as as group we concluded that we should do a song that the actress already knows. The new song chosen was 'Tink - 2&2'. After listening to the song we changed our theme of dance pop to a more subtle Pop/R&B. The song also has an early 90s vibe so we wanted our video to reflect that. We then looked at early 90s music videos in which we drew inspiration from and added whatever we felt suited best for our video.

We predominantly looked at the editing of early 90s videos because this was a key feature in order to correctly distinguish the time era. 80s /early 90s videos had slow cutting rates as they focused more on the performer and had a narrative feel rather than the edits. Late 90s music videos had very fast editing as during this time video editors started to play around more with the visual effects to suit the more upbeat songs that were also popular at this time.

 These screenshots shows us playing around with different effects and and adding a RPG. we also split the screen to create a mirror image of the actor performing the same thing but on the other side of the screen.  

Working Progress

This is just short clip that we wish to insert into the music video, it doesn't feature the main actor however these are the background actors that will also be featured into the video alongside the main actor
