Inspiration Ideas

Video Comparisons! on Prezi

Change of Idea!

As a group, we decided to completely change our idea!
We decided this, based on the fact that we wanted to pick a type of video that would attract a wider audience, the idea of the party wouldn't particularly attract the right audiences, it has also been done quite frequently, so we wanted to do something new that not many other people have done before.

So basically, the plan for our A2 Media video, is a montage idea. We're using the idea of ameture idea of recording.

 In the video we will include various different themes and ideas such as
- friends
- memories
- birthdays
- experiences

 All of these things will be incorporated into a big montage, of our idea of 'bliss'. All of these things make us happy. We are making the video based around our family and friends from our point of view, as apose to my group and I sitting in front of a camera for three minutes. We are also using the idea of having our friends lip singing along to a funny song, to add a comedy theme to the video.

Music Considerations

We originally decided on an acoustic feel to our music, but then after some consideration we thought that we'd prefer our music choice to be more up beat and happy, for example pop music of today. We are considering an unsigned artist, and are going to write our own lyrics to suit the type of video that we have chosen.

Results from Questionaire

The results from the questionaire that we asked are the following. Majority of the people that we asked were aged 15-18 for our questionaire, from this we had an array of different results, for example four liked pop, two liked indie and the rest suggestied other.The other restuls that we recieved were from people ages 46-50, they suggested that they enjoyed pop music over the other choices that were suggested. One of the people suggested that they enjoyed coutry, and the other said they enjoyed reggae. Overall from this I gained the knowledge that when it comes to music, you aren't going to attract people from all ages. I think it depends on the personal preferences of a person.

5- What stule of music video do you enjoy?
Performance, E.G a music video where the artist is singing the song is performing in the video, this could be on stage in front of an audience

Narrative, E.G a music video with a story line to it, this could be something like Ed Sheeran A Team, which is a video that follows a story of a girl

Part Narrative Part Performance, E.E these types of videos involve both the artist performing the song and a narrative happening.

Audience Statistics on Different Music Genres

I gave been doing some research into different statistics for different types of videos. The first place I thought to look was Youtube. I looked into both the narrative and performance videos that I previously searched, these being Justin Bieber- As long as you love me and Mumford and sons- I will Wait.

I have taken print screens of both of the results for the videos,

Justin Bieber-

These are the results that I have gained from the views on youtube. This basically shows that it is mostly females that watch his videos and that its amount of views sky rocket within a matter of days.

Mumford and Sons-

These are the results for I will wait, this again shows that majority of the songs audience is females and that the amount of views also sky rocket within a matter of days.

Whilst researching, I then realised that the statistics I was looking into on youtube aren't necessarily accurate.I decided this due to that fact that Youtube merely records the amount of views for the songs, it doesn't state whether the song is liked by the actual users or not.

So I then looked into the amount of 'likes' and 'dislikes' both videos got.

Justin Bieber-

By this I discovered that the video was more liked that disliked.

Mumford and sons-

This alike to Justin's video, there are more likes than dislikes.

I then looked at the amount of views between the two, Justin Bieber has a substantial amount more than Mumford and Sons amount of views, this could purely be because Justin Bieber is a World Wide known artist, that liked and disliked by many. I also considered the fact that Justin Bieber is classed as producing "popular" music, whereas Mumford and Sons are considered for being a Folk/Rock group, and therefore aren't as well known as Justin Bieber.

Different Types Of Music Videos

Performance Based-

Mumford and Sons- I Will Wait

This video is performanced based due to the way that the main focus of the video is based on a live show and shows both the band and audience's reaction to what they are seeing. The Video Starts with a montage type feeling, By Showing Different parts of "The Road To red Rocks". The video uses a varying amount of speed within these shots, the first shot being almost a still image, then it speeds up when it shows the montage clips, then returns back to another still image. The video consists of a wide rage of close ups, to show the use of the instruments. The opening shot of the concert is a long shot, of the croud.

This shows the long shot from the stage of the crowd.

Narrative Based-

Justin Bieber- As Long As You Love Me

This video is a prime example of a Narrative based music video, this can be shown by the way that the producers of the video used the well known actoer Michael Manson, which also makes people more aware that it is a narrativer based video. The music video starts with a trakcing shot of Michael Manson, it then shows a low angled shot, to show that he could possibly contain the upper hand within the music video ahead. The music video is narrative based because Justin Bieber doesn't directly sing to the audience of the music video.

This is the opening shot of the video, this automatically shows Michael Manson, and instantly shows the narrative content of the video.
