During the first lesson of the A-level media course we went through the key points of creating a music video. Idea’s varied however the list below reveals the main components of a music video. We also discussed what not to do and these ideas came about after looking at past examples of music videos created by other year 13 students. After viewing each example we had to grade it using the criteria from the level system with four being very good and one being very poor. This activity was important as again it allowed for a progression of ideas; now as a group we are more confident on what we should and shouldn’t do.
What you should do..
- Not holding one shot (for instance medium length shot)
- Using the lyrics of the song in order to create a narrative or story
- Appropriate mis-en-scene . Be creative with every choice
- Ensure the video structure matches the tempo and beat of song i.e not too slow for an upbeat song
- Record shots a number of times to ensure the shots are framed correctly
- Varied shot transitions
- Under prepare, the planning stage of the project is ultimately the most important is vital to ensure timings are correct and that miming is in time
- Use the school or local areas for filming as this ultimately makes the video looked rushed and unplanned
- Use actors who are not confident and who do not feel comfortable performing in public, as again the quality of the final outcome will be poor.
