Task 1

Part 1

1. This is a general shot of our performer in our location, i have chosen this shot as if you look back to our pitch you can see that we based our whole video around the lyrics "A dog dressed in clothes is still a dog." We obviously have taken the literal approach and dressed a dog in clothes, but a girl who may be dressed up in nice clothes, may still come from a bad background.

2. I chose this image to represent the way the record label may want our performer to be represented, as it is a close up, and you can see the way we done her make-up, not too over the top, and quite simple, but effective. The same wither her hair, loose curls, not anything too high maintenance.

3. I chose this image as the song is slightly indie, slightly abstract, and i think that this image can capture this.

4. This image is just an image of the bike that is used throughout our video, we were mostly inspired to use this in our video from the clip in the Sound of Music when they are on their bikes in the Do Re Mi scenes.

5. W picked this shot to use as you can see from this that we have used different camera angles, and not every angle is straight on.

6. I wasn't sure what shot to use for this clip, as we didn't use any lighting other than just natural lighting. Though in this shot i think this demonstrates this well.

7. In each scene, we haven't got much going on, the whole video is very simplistic, so i just took a shot of hannah sitting in the field, with our main prop, the bike.

8/9. I think that the top image shows this well as we didn't just plonk her in the middle of the shot, we thought carefully where we should have her the shot, and where would look good. And the second shot is a shot of hannah walking with the camera which is used in music videos also.

Part 2

1.

In this shot from The Sound of Music they are running when it says "Fa - a long, long way to run"

2.

JLS is a 4 man boy band, all dressed quite cleanly, for the female appeal. They are said to be 4 straight, single men, however there has been rumors that supposedly one's gay and in a relationship, another is gay and single, one in a long term relationship, leaving only one single and straight, though record companies believe that records will sell better if they come across as a single straight boy band.

3.

This is a shot from Razorlight's music video - America. Razorlight are an indie band, and as you can see in the shot they are doing just a performance based video, which it quite typical for an indie band.

4.

This is a shot of the Sound of Music, from Do Re Mi, when they are on their bikes, which inspired us to use a bike in our video.

5.

In this shot from Damien Rice's music video - 9 crimes, you can see that have thought about the camera angles, as this isn't a straight on shot, or a straight above shot, it's sat slightly above, giving it a nice angle.

6.

I like the lighting used throughout the America video by Razorlight. The little spot lights are really effective throughout the video.

7.

In this shot you can see the bins, and the rubbish behind them, and Damien rice in the background and Lisa Hannigan in the foreground. The mise-en-scene is really effective throughout the video, though it's quite simplistic the whole way through, it really sets the mood, and fits the lyrics.

8/9.

In both of the shots above they have thought about the positioning it the performers face on the screen, they aren't plonked in the middle, but they are slightly to left.
