Casting shots and reasons

I chose Ian to be the main part in my music video because he is already a good singer although that doesn't matter I think it will help to be able lip sync. Ian also already knows my song quite well.

SAY NOTHING LRYICS

Scenic shot, Ian against chapel

LYRICS:
With you by my side   Close up of lips
I felt like I'd arrived                          
I was lost and found  Long shot of Ian walking Silent walk/POV
I feel kinda selfish
And selfish is helpless
I dragged you down Close up of Ian against a tree

We somehow delayed it                 
I played it so basic we fooled our crowd
So nice on the surface  Medium shot of Ian setting off from the wall
But somehow we burnt it
Now words don't mean a thing

You don't have to say nothing   Completion of shots
Say nothing
Cos your eyes do the talking
You don't have to say nothing
Say nothing
Cos your eyes do the talking

I get home at half five     Time lapse of sunrise
We fight till the sunrise       
We wont back down
The subjects worth hiding
It's high stakes we're riding
It all falls down

Twice strikes the lightning Medium shot of Ian stopping against a tree
The night had me high under its dark spell
Now I fight back, you fight back   Close up of Ian singing
Won't wave your white flag
Our words don't mean a thing

Don't speak    Long shot to close up of Ian singing 
Don't speak no more                       behind a wall
Cos your eyes do the talking
Don't speak
Don't speak no more    Long shot of Ian walking past G-house/POV
Cos your eyes do the talking

You don't have to say nothing    Completion of shot
Say nothing
Cos your eyes do the talking
You don't have to say nothing
Say nothing
Cos your eyes do the talking
(Let's talk...)   Close up of Ian
We used to have our eggs sunny side up
But the fun dried up
And now I feel like our times up
I can see you wanna talk but your tongues tied up    Close up of Ian’s lips
Gotta wise up
Can’t keep hiding, can’t keep sliding
Down that one way road to oblivion   Close up of Ian
I've told you a million times where my heads at
But it's all arguments and who's winning em
Sometimes the right words don't surface   Long shot of Ian walking into
Shut up pretend it's all perfect                       RS/POV
Brain short circuits so                     
I look in to your eyes and I don't feel worthles  Close up of Ian’s lips
What I said you know I never meant it
Like somebody keeps finishing my sentence
No more tears, no more lies  Medium shots of Ian in door
I know what you want when you say it with your eyes   and with cross
                                  Low angled shot of Ian against a tree

Don't speak   Dolly shot around in in arch way   
Don't speak no more
Cos your eyes do the talking  Close up of Ian in the arch way
Don't speak
Don't speak no more                                   
Cos your eyes do the talking    Long shot of Ian framed in the RS arch

You don't have to say nothing   Completion of shots
Say nothing
Cos your eyes do the talking
You don't have to say nothing
Say nothing
Cos your eyes do the talking

                                           Time lapse of the sunset

Key Elements in dance-pop, house music videos

In dance-pop, house music videos one of the main elements of the video is lip sinking. Lip sinking is used in all the music videos I did my research  on so i will be using this technique in my music video.


The mis-en-secne is quite often a funky using loud sort of clothes things that you would not usually see people wearing normally. If they aren’t wearing funky sorts of clothes then it is quite often simple plane sorts of cloths but also giving of a sense of feeling cool and fun.

 
In many music videos there are long slow panning scenic shot usually not a long still shot. These shots sometimes have a filter or effect on them to make them more interesting again. The filter of effect is also sometimes used throughout the whole video.


Editing to the beat is very common to find in music videos especially when the beat quickens.

 
Using a slow motion effect is also quit popular in other music videos. The speed of the editing is usually dictated by the speed of the music at the time so i will also use this technique.

 

Clubs, music venues or music festivals are used in many music videos.

Mood Board

9 Key shots

This establishing shot is important because it tells you were he is now for the rest of the video to tell you how he got there. 

 

His first key board which obviously has a big impact on his life.

 

He get the key board on his 10th birthday and shows that it is a happy stage in his life because his Dad and brother a smiling and happy that he is happy. 

 

First of a few shot of him playing the key board getting older and older.

 

 

 

This is aspiration and motivation for him.

 

The next shot of him playing the key board looking older.

 

 

This is a down turn in his life when things aren’t going as well as he hopes for and not necessarily his fault.

 

At this point he has had enough and his childhood motivation has gone so he starts over again.

Seeing this shows that he has managed to pick himself up again and is doing well and managed to get himself known. 

Textual analysis of Exmaple Changed The Way You Kissed Me

I chose Example Changed The Way You Kissed Me because Example Say nothing is the video is the video I am creating. It is in the same genre as Say Nothing which is dance-pop music.

The establishing shot is medium shot showing us that Example who is positioned to the right of the shot is in a bathroom and is looking nervous/anxious. His nervousness/anxiousness is also so emphasised by the black and white. The next shot is of running water in a sink that has been slowed down it then straight cuts to a medium over the shoulder over a transparent Example looking in the mirror that could be showing how he is feeling. The camera then focus pushes cutting to an over the shoulder close up again of Example in the mirror but not transparent this time. The next shot is a close up of his hands in the sink with water running through them. The next two shot are close ups of Example in the mirror and just in the right hand side of the frame giving a double movement effect. There is bird’s eye view of a crowd dancing cutting to him shaving then into a car on a journey somewhere as the lyrics tell us. As Example walks out the door the editing is then to the beat because as the door closes the beat comes through it also cuts and this point to a long shot of Example on a stage and lots of people down below dancing. There is then lots of close ups of different people dancing and of Example singing. There are lots of bird’s eye views of the crowds and of Example when he crowd surfs along with lots of tracking shots. There are lots of points where the film is slowed down and is not the speed of the beat.



 

Textual analysis of Exmaple Midnight Run

I chose Example Midnight Running because Example Say nothing is the video is the video I am creating. It is in the same genre as Say Nothing which is dance-pop music.

The first shot is a close up shot of two white lines in the middle of around it then straight cuts to medium shot of Example in a bath with high key lighting behind his head. There is a high angled close up shot of Example in the bath still with the high key lighting behind him. The next shot is an extreme close up of a silver tap with a single drip falling from it then cutting to the medium shot of example again as well as the close up again too. From a bird’s eye view shot of Example we see him lower himself into the bath. Which after a few more medium and close up shots of him still in the bath it cuts to him coming up out of the sea in a hot county with and they use a purple blue and yellow filter effect on the film. This bit has fast editing. There is then a few alternating shots from him in the sea to him in the bath tub. After a few extreme long shot of some landscapes with filters over the top of them it cuts back to the white road markings. There is then a lot of fast editing. The shots are then mainly of a long shot of a car then a close up of example driving. An extreme long shot then shows him walking into a house on its own on top of a hill with a ruin on the right of the frame. Later there a man appears in the car next to example dressed in a black suit and looks very dodgy and has a black suit case had cuffed to him.

Hello

 

I am an A level media student and am hoping to use Example say nothing track for my media coursework which I am making a music video. I will be using it purely for educational purposes only, not for the making of any profit from it at all.

Thank you, hope to hear from you soon.

The song I have chosen is Example-Say Nothing. The genre of the song is dance-pop house.


Traits you often see in dance-pop and house genre videios are things like; funky costumes, dancing, people doing odd things, having fun and the the video is edited to the beat.
