Preliminary Music Video Exercise

Me and Mike tried our best to do a preliminary task. We found this task really hard as we both have zero experience with lip syncing and music videos. We tried our best with the little time we had, and also the restrictions we had with the location as we was only allowed in school. In this task we myself and Mike tried to included as many different shots as we could, this because we are suing a new software at school so we are learning all new and different ways of editing. We used the same song as we are going to use in our actual music video, as we thought it will help us in the long run.

More Audience Research

Me and Mike went around one lunch time armed with a pen and clip board each. We asked 100 people what there favourite genre of music is. We tried to get a 50-50 split between male and female but we just found more boys then girls that where willing to tell us.

We then broke this down to male and female;

Audience Research

Me and Mike had an idea to walk around school with a camera, and asked random people what their favourite music video was and why? In total we filmed around 10 people. Unfortunately the girls were a bit shy so they wouldn't go on the camera. So for them we just got a list of videos that they liked.

Some of the music videos that the girls said where;

Eminem - Love the way you lie

Strokes - You only live once

Drake - Over

Paul Simon - You can call me Al

Our Music Lyrics

We thought it would be a good idea for us to write up the lyrics to the song that we are planning on using. The was only one word that we couldn't work out and it was niglybubblytee I have highlighted this "word" in the song by using *. We asked a few people if they could work out that word but they all was as confused as us. We came to the decision we are not going to be lip synching that word due to us not actually knowing it.

Fij - One More Year

what's that...oo wha ah ooohhhh
ill go oo ohhhhh

you know oh ohhhh... ill see you again soon

we got one more year 'till we disappear,

there will be no more days just sitting here,

in a nice *niglybubblyteer,*

try so hard but i cant suppress the fear of so many people that I call my friend

one or a few more that its fun to pretend

while i done a bit wrong that I try to amend

and I'm so-so sorry if i hurt you but

this life is a life of Ecstasy I know that they're always next to me

say what they like it brings out the best in me

1 2 3 4 sing the rest with me

what's that...oo wha ah ooohhhh

ill go oo ohhhhh

you know oh ohhhh... ill see you again soon

oo wha ah ooohhhh

ill go oo ohhhhh

you know oh ohhhh... ill see you again soon

Missed the last train but its not surprising

Ain't no trains when the sun is rising

Hoods up checking each others eyes and pay a high price for the socialising

Jaw is aching, my dawn is breaking

Real life is overtaking, historical night in the making

Here comes the come down conversation

But everybody knows, the highs are worth the lows

That's just the way it goes, thats just the path we chose

So let me take you back to half past 8

Waiting at a station and the train is late

I'ouda allowed myself to anticipate

So bring on the drums, bring on the base

A few hours later and the music was blaring out

Man there was nothing I cared about

Right then I'll say it again

Love my life and I love my friends

Like... what's that... oo wha ah ooohhhh

ill go oo ohhhhh

you know oh ohhhh... ill see you again soon

oo wha ah ooohhhh

ill go oo ohhhhh

you know oh ohhhh... ill see you again soon

ill see you again (x3)

But everybody knows, the highs are worth the lows

That's just the way it goes, that's just the path we chose (x4)

what's that... oo wha ah ooohhhh

ill go oo ohhhhh

you know oh ohhhh... ill see you again soon

Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are

At the start of this video you see a woman listening to a tape with her headphones on. this is just to introduce her to the people watching. You later learn that she is the main point of this song/music video. The woman is not the reason I picked this song, the reason I picked it was what the do with the tape when its on the table. He starts off by pulling out the tape and he arranges it to first his name then the name of the song. Thought out the song it is illustrated by the same technique first by her face then of Bruno Mars singing the song. The songs cuts between this and them two looking into each others eyes though out the song. This shows how close they are and it also emphasises the meaning of the song.
