Music Video Intro Conventions

                          We’re finally finished with our commercial videos. I’m so happy we’re moving on to something new. The making of the commercial was fun while it lasted. I look forward to using the new skills I learned from the previous project. I feel I grew stronger as a aice media student. Also, now I know the areas I need to improve on. I look forward to displaying a more professional approach with our Music Video.

                          Today, where going to start making our Music videos. My group and I discussed songs to choose from. We chose the song “Love Don’t Change” By Jeremih It s a song in the RnB/ Soul genre. The song conveys a message of a love that lasts forever. We chose this song, because we had a vision about what our music video would look like. As soon as we heard the song it clicked. The other songs we looked at did not give us that feeling. This song is considered a throw back , it’s full of emotions which you can hear in the singers voice. When I hear this song it warms my heart, and beings happiness over me. I think the use of this song will be great when it comes to making out commercial.

C- R&B male singers usually wear tight shirts and jeans. They try to appeal to the female fans, and they often want to be seen as seductive. Tight shirts usually bring out they’re muscle fatigue, which most of them have.

L-In R&B videos they usually use dim lights inside of a small room, where they usually look through a window. This helps the audience feel the emotions he’s going through and it creates a sense of sadness. Sometimes they use natural lights to make the send me seem more realistic.

A- The actors in the RnB categories mostly consist of a lead male and female roles. In most of the RnB videos I seen the actors are usually in a relationship, getting out of one, or coming together.

M- In RnB videos the females wear make-up. I noticed that in the videos when the camera zooms in on the female you could see her make-up. So the use of make-up is to make the female more appealing in the video.

P- RnB music videos usually barely incorporate props. Due to the fact that most of the video focuses on the actors unless the Prop is what causes conflict between the actors.

S- In most RnB videos the setting takes place in a room with a back ground, or in a house. Some videos take place outside which will most likely be in the rain.

Shots- for the shots we want to use a extreme close up, to show the actors expression and his emotions. We’re also going to use a two-shot because we realized in lots of love song music videos it shows the boy and the girl. Lastly, we’re going to use a point of view shot because it symbolizes what the main character sees; usually they show how the guy sees the girl walking or laughing in slow motion.

Angles- We want to use the eye level angle because in a lot of music videos the actor is looking up while singing. We’re also going to use a Dutch because we want to make the sense more cool.
