Lesson 8

 In todays lesson we all researched different music videos and compared them all to each other to see what conventions they have that are similar. I searched the internet for upcoming artists first few music videos. From my research I found an artist called Glowie and an artist called Art School Girlfriend. We all had to take 3-4 screenshots from the music videos that we had found and then compare them to each other and see what the differences and similarities are.

the first few photos shown below are from the two music videos that I found. At first, from the screen shots I felt as though the music video on the left felt slightly more vintage in the sense of colours used and the outfit worn. However, when in contrast, the location of the photos on the right side never changed location. As well as this, the colours used never differed. The music video on the left most definitely has characteristics that we would want to try and replicate in our music video. For example, the different camera angles, close up shots and colours compliment the energy and vibe of that we are aiming to achieve in our own music video. However, in terms of lighting the music video on the left drew all of our attention due tot he fact that when we were discussing lighting we are envisioned a similar lighting setup. yet, because of the tonality of the song we would most likely choose a varying colour palette that is less melancholy and brighter.

One of my other group members had taken screen shots from one of Rihanna's music videos. Although the look that she is portraying int he music video is extremely cool, upbeat and intriguing the only issue with it is that it is too far out of our budget. In our school we do not have the ability to create a set to match the size of the ones that she has used as well as the fact that the lighting used in her videos would cost far too much.
