The History of Music Proms
The 1930's experimentations:
This video clip was made by
Len Lye, this was made in the
1930's. In the video clip shows
painting put together to make the
video clip. The lines that are shown
match with the rhythm of the music, towards the end of the video clip
actually shows an advert about the
cost of posts, as at the time sending
texts did not exist. This clip is quite
simple and quite interesting to look
at because the visual match the rhythm.
Unfortunately the soundies died out after
the war.
1960's the Scopitone- Pussycat A Go Go
This video clip was made in the early 60's
where colour video clip was the new thing.
The Scopitone was the type of jukebox featuring a 16mm film component, at this time scopitone was the modern music videos. where the first scopitones was made in France.
This music video demonstrates a lot of models
in their bikini, I guess the idea of the director was uses of gratifications, so it attracted both females and males attention, by putting a swimming pool scene were models are wearing their bikini.
The Beatles.
The clip on the left shows a clip A hard day's night film from the Beatles made in 1964. when the Beatles started, they had influenced allot of the music videos after, as they were the big talk in the 60's through out.
Queen.
In the mid 70's the group Queen came in, and were a major success with the music video Bohemian Rhapsody because of the effects of the music video. This effect was created by filming the tv screen and turning side ways. At the beginning shows a mid shoot of the group with the light reflecting on them from a high angle in a dark room.
MTV music television came in the 80's (1st August 1981). It was a major success as at the time there was no music channels and MTV was the only music channel. The first image that was shown on MTV was a montage of Apollo 11 moon landing with the MTV flag already there.
The first music video that were shown on the MTV were:
1. The Buggles-"Video Killed The Radio Star"
2. Pat Benatar-"You Better Run"
3. Rod Stewart-"She Wont Dance With Me"
4.The Who-"You Better You Bet"
MTV at the time was all about music, now in the post 2000 there is more music channels like VH1 and other, and MTV shows now more reality shows like Jersey shore, 16 and pregnant and less of music.
In the 80-90 Madonna and Micheal Jackson were the big thing at the time:
Madonna-"Everybody"
This video was released in 1982.
This video shows a teenager girl that is at the club dancing with her friends, there isn't much variety of different shots, the main shots we see is medium long shot and a bit of panning. However, the lights in the background really make the music video feel really pop and quite enjoyable to watch. This video could've had a such a success maybe because it shows a teenager girl, where many teenager could compare their life with the teenager girl (Madonna) we see.
This was one of the biggest hits in the 80's, it would only play after a certain time on MTV as this video was classified as a horror, and people would actually stay up just to look at this music video. Personal opinion, I wasn't born on the 80's but I really enjoy watching this music video.
On the right Michael Jackson "Thriller".
As technology developed over the time and majority of the population could and still can afford a computer and have access to internet. Websites like Youtube began to come in, where nowadays Youtube can define the charts.

Lyrics of the song choose
"On Top Of The World"
If you love somebody
Better tell them while they’re here ’cause
They just may run away from you
You’ll never know quite when, well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
I’ve had the highest mountains
I’ve had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving
I take it in but don’t look down
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world.
I’ve tried to cut these corners
Try to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something
I coulda gave up then but
Then again I couldn’t have ’cause
I’ve traveled all this way for something
I take it in but don’t look down
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world.
Oooooooo... OoooAhhhhhOoooAhhhhh[2x]

Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down
And it’s a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now.
And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down
And it’s a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now.
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay

Analysis- Day/reckoning song
This song demonstrates friendship, which is what we are trying to show in out
final piece. This shows different scenes and that's what our idea is all about.
final piece. This shows different scenes and that's what our idea is all about.
Camera Shots- The video clip shows different types of camera angles, this is so that even though it shows the same action on the screen, by showing a different angle the audience won't get bored of looking at the scenes. By having different types of angles also makes it enjoyable for the audience to look at. For example it starts with a low angle panning moving the camera upwards, then it shows a birds eye view , and from there it shows a mixture of medium angle images of other places they've been but on a fast past.
Mise en scene- The different settings can also have a big influence on the audience, as again it shows the same action but by changing the places it makes the audience want to keep watching to see where they go next. However, the clothing they are wearing tells the audience that they don't care what they wear as they just want to have fun, it gives a sense of rebels.
Sound- There is no digetic sound, it only shows the non digetic sound which is the music that we hear. However, when ever there is a slow motion there is a change to the sound.
Editing- There is a mixtures of editing for example they use a slow motion which goes with the music. These effects gives a sense they are almost in a dream as they are enjoying themselves so much.

This clip shows a similar idea to our music video, as our theme to our music video is friends. Our video clip idea is very similar to this video as we are also thinking about having different scenes and angles to our final product.

New Mood board Idea
This shows our new mood board idea, It shows different
scenes of friends having fun, we choose to have a pop
music video, as pop is more associated with our age. The
aim is to have different types of angles put together to keep the
audience wanting to keep watching, as we realized that the scenes
are going to be quite similar one to another.

Audience Research
The Prezi above shows our questionnaire results, this results help the group get a better
understand of what target audience we should aim at and what the majority of people prefer
to listen to. Bellow shows the actual questionnaire that we have sent out, we tried to keep
it simple and easy for people to understand so we could get accurate results in the end.
New Idea and new choice of song
Since one of the member in our group had dropped out and only two of us was left, we decided to change the idea for the music video as we noticed that it would be too complex to create a animation music video.
For the new idea we decided to have friendship as a theme as it goes with the new music that we choose ( Imagine Dragons- On top of the world). The video clip is going to be a mash up of different shoots put together, the different shoots are going to show friendship but the images are going to be shown in all different angles so that it creates an energetic atmosphere.
Below shows the music we are planning to use, we choose this music as we think the lyric of the music matches the theme of friendship as it's a very energetic tone and friendly.

Below shows the music we are planning to use, we choose this music as we think the lyric of the music matches the theme of friendship as it's a very energetic tone and friendly.
We came up with the idea of mixing different shoots together and putting them together from a introduction of an episode in Portugal 'I love it', below shows the introduction video:
Camera angles- The scenes that we as audience see we can tell this was done in the summer time, I think the whole idea of having summer time images is because summer is all about freedom and having fun. In the episode introduction showed allot of range of different shoots for example: close-up, medium and mid angles tracking and other few. The whole idea of having different types of shoot put together is so that it get's the audience 'hocked' into the series and would make the audience want to watch it.
Editing- The editing is done quite fast to go with the music past. As the music is quite fast and energetic and the whole point of having different scenes shown in a fast mode it to go with the rhythm of the music.
Mise en scene- The mise en scene shows different types of personalities put together. I think the whole point is that it shows that even though everyone is different they still get along with each other and respect people's uniqueness and gives the sense of a friendly environment where everyone want to participate, I say this because of the bright colours being used.

This opening has influence more our final idea as we had this similar idea from the start. However, our ideas where a bit off and we were not very confident if the whole thing about mixing different shoots would work and by looking at this series opening helped us decide how we could do our music video clip and opened up more new ideas that we could include in our final piece, for example writing with lip stick on the mirror is an effect easy shoot.

Music label and Brand Reaserch
This picture above shows music labels. By looking at them put together
I can see that they are very limited using colour maybe so the audience
can focus more on the writing, by not using allot of colour this allows
the company to expand their company work if more people remember
their logo. I can see that most of the logs are quite simple this also is a
way of getting people to remember their logo and again expand their
logo.

Risk Assessment
· -
It could be raining on the day of filming
outside. The solution could be film inside another
scene that we had planed.
· -Camera may not work.- Solution, have a backup
camera
- -Camera could run out of battery- Solution, bring charger or charge the camera the night before -Some people in the group could be disappointed by the final product. – Solution, have another group meeting to discuss what to improve.
- The weather that we may plan to film in, may take a while to happen- Finish all the scenes that are filmed on the inside, then when the weather changes we are ready to film on the outside.

Our Twitter page
We created a twitter page so that we could get feedback
from our audience in a much quicker way, and from the
feedback we can improve our final video clip when we do it .
This also allows us to communicate with our audience and
allow them to see the different stages of making our music
video.
Mood board
These pictures above demonstrates our mood board with some
of the ideas for our final piece. We decided to go for a pop music
video, as pop is drawn more to our age group so we are more familer
with this genre.

Definition of a website, promo music video and digipak...
Website.
A website can only be seen on a computer or now a days with new technologies it also can be seen on phones so this is called web servers. A website is created by allot of web pages. In a website there is a home page, this is when people go to a website and the first page they would see is a homepage. Then from the homepage it allows people to visit other pages of the website or even could take people to other sites through the links that allow people to click on them.
The purpose of having a homepage is that it allows the audience of a certain category to have access to the information they want in a much quick way.
This picture above shows what a webpage looks like:
Uses, the websites can be used for different things one of the thing could be used for advertising or to sell things. It can also be used to communicate with other people through computers or phones and example of a website could be facebook, twiter. Another type of webpage is a blog, this is more when people write thing up about a certain thing.
Promo music video.
A promotional music video shows a short clip that represent a song. People can only see the clip if they have access to a computer, phone or television. There are a few channels on television that only show music videos for example a very famous channel is MTV. The purpose of creating a music video is to show a new song that came out. However, by making a video clip allows the band to get more views on websites like YouTube and the song to get spread around quickly through TV, Websites ect world wide.
Digipak for the band or the artist.
A digipak for a band or a artist is an extended normal cd pack which would normally would include extra CD's containing extra information about the artist making of the music videos.
