Question 1

This image sticks within our genre of ‘indie/rock’ as the lighting is dark which helps create a mystery to what the music video entails. As the camera shot is a ‘long angle’ shot which helps create the feel of what is in the dark space around the camera angle, and make the lighting a main focus of what shot as that is all what can be seen within the shot. Because of the genre of the music video, we had to think what kind of themes we should stick with, and we needed to make sure that we stuck within the theme throughout the whole video – the lighting in our music video helped us portray our theme and genre throughout our whole piece, as the lighting shown in this picture is the lighting we tried to stick with throughout the video.

This shot is of our main artist, this shot is a close up of the artist to show the audience who he is, this shot of the artist is the main focus point of him singing which helps make the words portray more meaning as the shot is focusing on only what is singing, the artist shows so much meaning when singing. The lighting also sticks with within the theme of the video as the lighting stays the same throughout the whole thing, also, as the lighting is focused on just the artist this makes him stand out more as it directly on his face.

This is the first time we see the couple together, by using a long shot we are able to see the full scenery around them and the mise en scene used in clothing we are again able to see what the theme and genre is and how the music is related to the theme of the music. By the actors chemistry between them it shows how they are feeling together each other and the body language shows that they are arguing.

The ballet within the music video is mostly close up shots so you can closely see the detail in the movement of the ballet. The aim for the ballet was to show how determined the artist was for his love with the actress and how he wont give up on anything until hes got her back, this is related to the ballet because the ballet dancer is so determined to get the moves right and she tries and tries to get the right movement but fails and in the end she gets it. By using a close up we are mainly focused on what shes mainly doing.

This shot of the actress is an extreme close up to show her true emotion of how she feels about her and the artist. The lighting is dark which also carries on the theme which is carried throughout the whole music video. Although the lighting isn’t so artificial and bright, it is just dark so you can tell her emotions within the video as its gets darker and darker throughout the video and the lighting becomes more natural than artificial. The mise en scene within the clip and this shot is used well within make up and hair style.

This shot is a long shot to show the area around him and it is also from a low angle which makes the artist look more powerful, which keeps with the theme and the rest of the video as although he is beginning the actress not to leave him, he still has power which is slowly looses throughout the video. The lighting within this clip is all natural as we was lucky enough to have the sky like this as it also is the same harsh/dark tone of light which is carried one throughout the video, although as this shot is taken from the beginning of the video the natural lighting within this is also quite bright which can see as if it has a bit of hope that things might change.

This clip is taken from the end of the video music, it is an establish shot which establish the scenery around them, we was lucky enough to get amazing natural light at the end of music video, with a sunset. Which fit perfectly as we wanted the actress to walk off him and him standing staring at her, upset watching her go. The natural lighting with the shot works perfectly together as because of the lighting the actors are black figures and there silhouette just showing which fits well within the end as most music videos ends with the couple getting back together whereas this is different, which will make people remember it more.

This is a long shot of the artist standing in front of the light, as he is frustrated by his love for the actress. The lighting is blocked by his body which creates a silhouette of himself as he is standing in front of the light. The long shot creates a dark atmosphere as all you can see is a bit of light which sticks with the theme and genre of the music video. It also creates a good image of himself as the mise en scene used in this set is clothing, the clothing used is dark, however, you can’t necessarily see his clothing as the lighting is so dark, which creates the idea of mystery.

The digipack we used different images to suggest what the song may include, also, the front of the digipack cover we cut up different images of his face, to make it stand out and make sure the public notice it, we used four different still picture of him and cut them up into different part of his face which suggest different feelings, he may of felt. The lighting of all the images stick with the theme of the video and the genre, also, the lighting is similar throughout the whole promotional packages. The made sure we put a picture of him and the actress in the digipack and the actress is seen in most of his videos which promotes the digipack.

The magazine advert also sticks with the lighting within the whole promotional package as it sticks with the theme and genre of the music video. The close up of the artist makes all this features stand out, and makes him look strong and it will promote himself to his fans as the the picture makes him look ‘mysterious’. The spot light on this face make him stand and makes sure he is the main focus, the grid in the background makes him stand out even more as it makes him look like he is at the front of the grid in front of everyone else.
