Videos I Admire (2)



Ellie Goulding-Burn
This another video I have chosen when focusing on a music video that I admire. I have chosen this song of Ellie Goulding as I think the way the setting has been used is effective as it doesn't constantly change however always maintains the interest of the audience due to a variety of different things happening on set. Furthermore I beleive the lighting and the shadowing used to focus on certain objects has been managed and carried out successfully. This music video has enabled me to gain a range of ideas when constructing planning ideas. However I am aware that due to the success of the artist the director doesn't have to constantly rely on the change of setting. Changing the scenery for my music video is vitally important when ensuring the interest of the audience is maintained and therefore have realised that I am not fortunate enough to just rely on the artist. After watching this music video over I have decided that I am going to have to take alot of thought into the relevant props that would be appropriate with the genre of music. Not only will this help me to construct ideas however it will also help pick up a few grades with the examiner as they will particularly notice the input into small details.

Production Log

18th September 2013
In today's lesson I am aiming to complete a research task that I have already made a start on. The one I am aiming to complete consists of 'Analysis of previous A2 students work.' I hope to get a variety of shots and angles in order to show my understanding of the given music video. Once this task has been completed I am then able to make a start on the remainder tasks and hopefully by the end of the month have all research tasks completed. Similarly yesterday I made a start on my filming however only got a small proportion of it filmed. I used both my artists and got my female protagonist to sing to ensure that everything used looks as realistic as possible.

Music Videos That I Inspire (1)

Rudimental's song 'Waiting All Night' inspires me due to the narrative being so intense and realistic. I believe by having a narrative so personal and realistic motivates the song and allows the audience to feel as if they know the actors acting out the narrative. Similarly by a story line uplifts the viewers and allows them to appreciate everything in life alot more as they can begin to see how many people suffer from worse things than they do. This music video makes everyone feel lucky and grateful for the life that they have been given and begin to see the more important things to life. Furthermore I believe that this music video is very successful considering that it doesn't have a performance within the narrative, and similarly is successful as it maintains the audiences interest throughout.

I had to do this task on my friends prezi due to technical difficulties with my own account.

Production Log

2nd September 2013
Today as I have been set a deadline for my summer break to complete all the given research tasks my aim is going to consist and focus on getting these all done. I aim to finish by the end of the day all tasks on digipaks, aswell as video's that I admire. Hopefully I will be able to meet my deadline as then it will help me in future cases when being able to purely focus on the production stages of my music video and coursework without having to worry or be concerned about previous uncompleted tasks.
