Weekly Diary 6

This is the first diary since summer so its not as jampacked as the others. This week I just went over all the work I did over the summer holidays and looked at any adjustments that needed to be made. Right now I'm just fixing up my Song Lyrics analysis to make it a bit more informative/explanatory. I also double checked all the links and pages on my blog to make sure they were working correctly.

Holiday post

During the summer I managed to get a bit of work done. Firstly I completed my Iconic music video stills and these have now been presented as a slideshare presentation. These are important as they will play a huge influence to the song I choose and the ideas I come up with.
Next I uploaded my Reverse storyboard as a complete Scribd document.This was interesting to do as I learnt more about cameras, depth-of-field and how to change focus from an object in the foreground to the background.
After this was done, I analysed the lyrics of the song I would like to use for my Music Video and this has raised more questions as to how I will carry out certain tasks and what ideas would look best.
Lastly, I uploaded the images for my Locations Recce. This helped me to understand the wide variety of loactions I have at my disposal and this is critical to the ideas/concepts I come up with.

I began my Reverse Storyboard on Rihanna and Eminems's Love the way You lie. In this I analysed the most interesting shots for all the characteristics and terms I have learnt about, including those on Friday the week before. Through the use of this storyboard I understood how the range of shots, their diferent depths of field and various other characteristics could effects the way a Video presents itself. I also analysed the Mis-en-scene in correlation to these various features with reference to Andrew Goodwin's theory on Music Video Genres. The Reverse storyboard will be posted shortly.

So this week I finished off analysing the rest of my music videos using key theorists and I also had a look at the different types of equipment I could use in the production of my Music Video. I learnt about the different effects I could use on a camera to make shots more interesting e.g lots of extremem close-ups/shallow focus/changing the depth of field etc

This week I began analysing products for the research and planning of my own product/project. I analysed 3 Digipack covers and also drew a second storyboard for ideas. The analysis of the Digipacks allowed me to understand that although Artists aim to do the same thing-boost their populaity in order to sell music, each one does it in different styles accoriding to the genre they fit into. Paramore is a Indie/Rock band therefore their album covers fixate on deep, thought provoking meanings instead of the artist. i also analysed my first Music video in accordance to the theories of Propp, Goodwin and Goffman.
