The artist above is called young blade the artist is 27 years old male and is an unsigned artist the artist is located in america and is a hip hop artist, the artist songs are original content created by his self, the artist is of black ethnicity. Young blade has made more songs in his music careers. The music videos he creates are very simple which indicates to us that he has a low budget as he fund it his self and he does not have many background dancers in his video as he is the only one in the video.
Clothing
The above clothing have been chosen as i believe that my artist is
most suited for these items as they stand him out and the also represent the
genre that he does which is hip for example the yellow stone island has been
used so that my artist stands out as the main character and i also have used
another jacket is the Louis Vuitton jacket i have chosen this jacket because i
think it will represent my artist in a good way as many people cannot afford
this jacket because it costs a lot. I have used a jean jacket because the is
blue and stands out and it is very unique as you do not see hip hop artist
where them kind of jackets. I have used expensive clothes as it allows the audience to know his rich.
Typography
Above you can see five different typography's which i am interested in using for the music video, in the music video i will be using it for my logo which will appear at the beginning of the music video, the above typography are very different and i have not seen them used in music video so it'll make my music video very different, this will catch the attention of the audience as it will be different.
mise en scene
I'll be using these as my mise en scene because i believe that my music video has to include these mise en scene because these conventions make it look like the genre which is hip hop, and also we see all the above mise en scene appear in hip hop films.
Colors
BLACK DARK BLUE
RED BROWN
YELLOW
The above colors would identify my artist as i think that the colors i have chosen are very different to each other, i have chosen bright and dark colors i think that my artists represents both as the dark colors would represent his dual and bad childhood identity and the bright colors represent the future as he has been successful.
Imagery
The above picture show what i am planning to include in my music video and it also shows that i want positive attidude so it can have a good influence on the audience watching and i also want to send a message showing that they can change in the future like my artist has.
99 dollar Music Videos are for independent bands and artist , all made with a budget of under $99. The 99 dollar music video produce music video in short due to the low budget. The music videos on the YouTube page has a variety of genre's and they also want directors to volunteer so that they can produce music video with the specific budget. Their channel is different compared to other music channels as they show some of the making of the music video an example of this would be below as it shows us how the making of the music video.
What is their ethos?
99dollarmusicvideo ethos is that want to create an music video under 99 dollar, they also try make the music video look professional we see this portrayed in the music videos and is said on the YouTube channel that they want it to look 'awesome' which tells us that the want the music video to amuse and entertain the audience. Below we have an example of a music video called ' strange machine' created by 99dollarmusicvideo, in the video it keeps the audience entertained as there are variety of shots in different locations.
What types, labels and genres of music appear on their music channel.
99dollarmusicvideos.com has only made videos for independent artists which are unsigned this means they are not signed to any record labels. On their YouTube channel we see very fast paced music which creates energy this makes it very entertaining for users.An example of this would be a music video called 'Barbie Eat A Sandwich' by 'Care Bears On Fire', throughout the video we see different l very unusual locations which creates energy and also keeps the audience engaged.
What is the relationship between 99dollarmusicvideos.com, their film makers and music acts.
The film makers which work for 99dollarmusicvideos have a professional relationship with the artist as they allow the artist to have a say what happens in the music video and what the message should be in the music videos this makes the artist be more happy with the film maker as they can add specific conventions which represent them. On their channel they have videos of the making of the video a below is a short video which shows us the making of the music video called ' Whisky' and also shows us relationship between the artist and film maker.
How does 99dollarmusicvideo encourage audience participation?
The 99dollarmusicvideo encourages audience in many ways, one way they do that is by showing the audience how the music videos are made this give the audience an insight, this makes it interesting for the audience and may make them want to work with 99dollarmusicvideo. Another way 99dollarmusicvideo encourages audience is by letting them comment their opinion on YouTube, makes them more included as 99dollarmusicvideo can improve their videos with the information gained.
Is it possible to make a professional quality music video $99.
In my judgement i believe that you can create music video for $99, however they won't be able to compete with big record labels as they have more money which means they can add latest features and try make it more unique as they have more money to experiment with, also i think that they will not be a professional quality one as you will need a high budget because i believe that you need a lot of finance to rent equipment, location and also hire employee's to help produce video.
Illustrating is when the song lyrics match what is happening in the music video for example in the music video below called ' watch me whip/nae nae' by Silento, this is an illustrating music video because at the 0.33 second we see the artist say 'nae, nae' then we see the artist demonstrating it, this is because the artist want the audience to understand the lyrics. Another example in the music video where the artist is illustrating the lyrics would be when he say 'Stanky legs' at 0.56 sec then actually does it, this helps the audience know what he is talking about also makes the audience do it as well with the artist as they find it entertaining.
Amplifying
Amplifying is when the video is designed to enhance the lyrics and mood of the song. An example of this is a song called 'Happy' by 'Pharrel Williams', in the video at 0.31 we see random people dancing which creates a lively mood and throughout the song all the actors are dancing and this also match the mood rather than the lyrics of the song because the artist keeps saying ' Happy' and by dancing they create happy mood, also we also see the artist smiling at 0.49 sec, this also tells us that the artist is amplifying a happy mood so he wants the audience to be happy.
Contradicting
Contradicting is when the video deliberately goes against music convention, an example will be this song by 'Lil Dickey' called ' Save dat money' because in the music at 0.55 sec we see the artist go to rich people asking them if he could record a music video in their house this makes the video very unique as they show extra features that are not in music video's. i think that artist choose to do this is because it extend the play ability of the song this means that more people as it is very interesting because in the video we learn that most artist rent the location where they shoot their music video and it also very different as it shows us the making of the video compared to other music video for example we see the artist getting ready at 1.27 min we see the artist go in and introduce their self to the house owner.
Iconography And Genre Convention
Iconography and genre convention is when they use certain images that associate with a specific genre. An example of this would be the music video below called ' Trap Queen' by 'Fetty Wap'. In this video at 0.15 sec we a lot of money, at 0.18 we see a car and at 1.15 min we see a female dancing, we associate all of these the hip hop genre, therefore just by watching this video we know that the song is from the hip hop genre.
Star Person and Close ups
Star persona and close ups is when the artist is the main focus of the video this would increase popularity of the artist. In this music video called 'Rap God' by 'Eminem'
it has many camera shots which focus on the artist for example at 0.03 sec the camera is focusing on the artist, this makes the artist more known as they feature more in the music video, also by having star persona in the video it builds a relationship between the artist and audience, also the close up tell the audience who to focus on and who is the center of attention
Voyeurism
Voyeurism is used in this video below which is called 'Heatwave' by 'Wiley', Voyeurism is when the music visually shows us an treatment of a female body which entertains some people and it also does not make people feel guilty for watching the female as they know other people have seen it, so your not the only person who's watch this, an example of voyeurism in the music video would be at 0.38 as we see female bodies half naked this tells us voyeurism has been used and it mostly attracts the male audience because they would be interested in females
Intertextuality
Intertextuality is when one media refers to another media, this help both media company be more known, an example of this is below the music video is called 'Never say never' by Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith'. In this music video we see intertexuality because we see that the song has been made for the film called ' Karate Kid' and we know this as at 0.59 sec we see arcade footage from their film this helps both media industries because the artist may be known this will make their fans watch the film, this is a very good way to be more known as you may be working with famous people who can help you expand in the media industry.
A genre video is when the music video sets the genre often by mise en scene, this means that they may use props like drugs in the music video to show that it is a gangster genre. An example of this would be a song called 'Chevy' by David Cash.
In this video we see females dancing and wearing chains at 1.25 seconds, it sets the genre as it shows that it's gangster genre because we associate gangsters with wearing chains and girls dancing and how the lyrics as well show that it's about a gangster story as they use swear words like 'bitch' in the music video.
A reason why the institution would use the style for that video is because they would want to visually show what the song is about this helps the audience visual what is actually happening and they audience would be able to have an better understanding of the video, it makes the audience experience the life of an gangster, this may make the audience feel moved by the story and
Genre subverting video
Genre Subverting Video is when the music video deliberately goes against the music video conventions, this means that the video usually is different from the genre of music, for example in the music video called ' Save that money' by 'Lil Dicky'.
The music video above is an genre subverting video because we see many convention in the music video which do not fit the genre of the song for example at 0.55 sec we see the rapper go and ask rich people whether he can use their house in the video this is very unusual as we do not see this in many music videos and we see the rapper in a restaurant which is usually not a convention in music videos.
I think that the institution choose to do this style because it shows us that most artist rent the location where they shoot their music video and it also very different as it shows us the making of the video so extend the play ability of the song this means that more people as it is very interesting compare to other music video. The effect on the audience would be that they also get more information and it also tells the audience that not all the music videos scenery are mostly not owned by the artist.
Performance
Performance is when the artist singing the song to the viewer directly,for example in the music video called 'Drag me down' by ' One Direction'.
We see them directly sing to the audience because they look at the camera and sing we see this happen at 0.30 sec of the music video and the whole band sings towards the camera connotes that they are directly singing to the audience,and we also see all the band members sing individually in different this keeps the audience more engaged.
The reason why the institution have used this style of music video is because they would be appealing to the audience and they also make the audience feel special as they are directly looking at camera and singing which makes the audience like the song more and it also makes it more interesting if they are performing the song to you this builds a relationship between the audience and band. The effect on the audience would be that the audience are more engaged and entertained as they are singing to them.
Narrative
Narrative is when the there is an clear story line in the song, this usually helps the audience relate there self to the artist an example of this would be a song called 'cleanin out my closet' by 'Eminem'.
In the music video we see the artist sing about a story which has happen in the past, at 1.50 sec we see the artist say in the lyrics ' i wounder even if he kissed me good bye' then tells us that his dad neglected him when he was a baby and left him this helps the artist get closer to the audience as he may relate to them.
The institution may have chosen to do this style of music because the it would build a relationship between the audience and the artist this meant that the audience would get to know Eminem more, by giving more detail allows the audience see what he has experienced in child hood and sends a tries to send a positive message saying that we should not treat our children like that. The effect on the audience would be that they will be more entertained as it is an real story about the artist and at the same time will feel sympathy for the artist.
Animation
Animation is when you do something which is not possible for humans to actually do, this may mean creating unique content because you can be imaginative, an example of this would be a song called 'good morning' by 'Kanye West'
In this video we see the music video stop motion animation this allows the artist to be more imaginative and unique this is an animation because we features like cars which are not real at 0.40 sec we see the car fly this is has been done by animation because in real life cars cannot fly.
By the institution using animation means they can be creative and very unique compared to other music videos, this is a benefit as by them having unique content means that the artist music video will be watched a lot and it may be viewed more as people may be sharing it. The effect on the audience would be that they would be more engaged and entertain as they music video is different this will make them watch the whole of the music video.
Interpretive
A video that has visually shows us what is happening, this means that they are showing what the lyrics in the song are saying, this makes the audience have better understanding however it would not be artistic, an example of this would be a song called ' Walk' by 'Foo fighters'.
In this video we see the artist matching the lyrics with the action for example at 1:31 sec we see the artist say "no signal" then we see a footage of the phone showing there is not battery this matches the lyrics of the song.
By the institution using interpretive style it gives a better understanding and also sends out the right message to the audience as they see what the lyrics actually mean in the video by sending right message out it gives a better image of the artist. The effect on the audience would be that the meaning of the song as the lyrics match the action of the song and they also receive the actual the message of the song this means they won't have confused message.
Impressionist
Impressionist is when the image that we see like the colors and effect matches the theme of theme of the song, also it does not tell us a story, an example of this would be a song called 'like i can' by ' Sam Smith'.
The video above is an example of impressionist because they the color of the music video sets feeling for example at 0.02 sec we see the color of the video is black and white this creates an dual mood, by using this means that it will help the audience know how to feel throughout the sing and in a way also sets genre as you can see the effects at the beginning which are very dual.
By the institution using impressionist in the video it helps the audience know how to feel and react. The reason why they have used this style is to set the genre and theme of the song and they also may wanted the effect to match the theme of the song for example if they wanted to to create a bright and lively mood they would use bright colors and effects. The effect on audience would be that it helps them know the mood of the song and i tells them how the artist feels.
Surreal/abstract
Surreal and abstract music video are very unique and they also are very memorable as they are different to other music videos, an example of this would be a song called 'Runin lose it all' by 'Naughty boy and Beyonce'.
The music video above is surreal and abstract because it is different and unique from other music video for example in the music video the location is very different as it in the sea and it shows two people runin for each other in the sea, at 0.21 we see a person in the middle of the sea floating this is very unusual and tells us that this music video is surreal and abstract.
The reason why the institution may have used this style is because they may wanted to create unique content this would help them be more known for creating creative content and it will also make the song more popular as the music video will be known as it is very unique and it also gets the audience talking and asking questions about it. The effect on the audience would be that they would start to talk about the music video and this will create awareness of the artist and the song.
Pastiche/homage
pastiche and homage is when the music video is related to another, often the set, costume, shot type and dialogue connote it, an example of this would be a song called 'Fancy' by ' Iggy Azalea and charli Xcx'.
The music video above is an example of pastiche and homage because it relates to a film called 'High school musical' for example at 0.42 sec we see lunch tables in the field this relates back to the film, Another example would be at 0.32 sec we see actors in class this is another feature which relates back to the film.
The reason why the institution has chosen to use this style is because the other media text may have been popular so everyone would know about it and it also makes the song more popular in a way, the effect on the audience would be that they maybe able to know that specific scene from the film this may make the audience talk about it more.
Parody
parody is when you make an bad version of another music video, it often mocks the artist and the purpose of it is to make the audience laugh, an example of this would be a song of 'What do you mean' by 'Justin Bieber' the parody was made by 'Bart Baker'.
In this parody we see 'Bart Baker' has used different actors and has changed some of the lyrics the lyrics of the song have been changed to add more humor and make the audience laugh for example at 03.15 min we see 'Justin Bieber' look a like fall through the door and then say "what do you mean" this makes the audience laugh, this video has been created to mock the lyrics of the artist.
The reason why institution has created this music video is because they want to mock the artist lyrics and also add humor by changing their lyrics of the song, by creating parody means that they want the audience to laugh and talk about it this also makes the person who created the parody be more known. The effect on the audience is that it makes it more enjoyable and also in the parody it may have their opinion of that song.
Referencing
Referencing is an explicit reference to media text, this means that an artist may create a song for a film, this will help both media industry as the artist may be known after making the song for film or the film will be watched more because of the artists song, another word for this is synergy when two media industry work together. An example of this would be the song called ' never say never' by 'Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith'.
The above video is an example of referencing because they reference a specific film called karate kid because this song features in the film and is also featured by the leading actor called 'Jaden Smith'' for example we see arcade footage from the film at 03.39 this tells it is referencing the film.
The reason why they have used referencing because it helps both media industries in a way as all the people who watch the film will watch the song this will make 'Justin Bieber' more known and all the 'Justin Bieber' fans will watch the film as it features his song, this helps both industries. The effect on the audience would be that they are able to watch a film that features their artist and it also would entertain audience because 'Justin Biebers' song features int the film this will gain more view.
