- 6. Skills Audit • Strengths – • When I have a clear ideas I try my best to stick to them • I feel as if I have confidence in asking people to be apart of my music video/ I also have confidence in being in it myself • I have knowledge in knowing what different kind of music videos look like and how certain aesthetics work for certain music. • Weaknesses – • I lack concentration and tend to drift off and I then lose my train of thought • I am not overly confident in using premiere pro as I feel like I should know more techniques etc. • My time management could be improved as in previous projects I spend too long on a certain are in the project and then lose time and tend to fall behind
- 7. Mood Board
- 8. Mood Board 2
- 9. Mood Board Analysis • With my Mood Board I wanted to make a collage of different images that are quite vibrant and have many different colours involved in them, these images inspire me because I am wanting my music video to stand out and for it to have a contrast in colours for example some shots will be darker with no vibrant colours and then it will switch to a brighter shot to really create that contradiction between the different scenes. Some of the images in my mood board are displaying different camera techniques that I would like to use in my music video, therefore these images are inspiring to me because its something that I would like to implement myself. There is also different images in the mood board that show different locations that I would like to use for my video, after looking at these locations it has given me a better idea on where I can film near me. • One of the images with the paper has really inspired me because it is a creative way to display the title of the song just by using a piece of paper and writing the name of the song on it, this is something that I am looking to do myself as I think it a unique way to intro the video. There is also different effects that are being used on some of the images such as the VHS tape filter, night vison and also filter to make the image look brighter and really bring out the whites within the image. Some of the images include different camera angles that I would be looking to use for my video, I wanted to use a higher camera angle because its something that I have seen in many music videos and they seem to look appealing. • The main image that I take inspiration from is from a music video and it is a camera trick to make it look like there two of one person in the same place, this is something that I am definitely going to be using as I am sure I know how to do this camera trick and it should be really effective in the final outcome
- 10. Key influences (Cole Bennet) • Cole Bennet is one of my main influences because of the way he directs his music video but also how he edits them. Cole Bennet is an American Business executive, videographer, music video director/editor. • The way that Cole edits and directs his videos are very unique and is something that you don’t see on many music videos. Cole adds lots of different special effects within the video to create a video that looks some what abnormal. These special effects are something that influences me because I feel like its something quite Suttle however it creates a new type of feeling and vibe when watching his music videos. • A lot of Coles music videos tend to have a story behind them which makes the viewers experience more enjoyable and they will feel immersed because there is a story to be told. This influences me because its something that it would like to include in my music video because of how much more interesting it will make it. • Cole bennet has made many music videos with the likes of Eminem, Juice World, Justin Bieber. He has a specific editing and shooting style that I find inspiring because I simply feel like it is unique and is something that is not seen in many music videos.
- 11. Key Influences (SSGKobe) • Kobe is a young talented rapper at the age of 18. He is a big inspiration to me because of how similar his age is to mine, this allows me to think that I could make music videos at a similar standard to him. I also enjoy listening to his music which helps me understand what his music videos may look like. Kobe has some slower paced songs and some fast paced music, therefore some of his music videos are shot a slower speed and have longer lasting shots, while his faster music has faster cut videos to compensate it. This is something that inspires me because it makes me realise that slower cut videos will not work as well with fast music.
- 12. Key Influences (Midwxst) • Midwxst is key influence in the making of my music video as I heavily like listening to his music but I also enjoy watching his music videos, this is because of how they look and how they are edited, I find that his music videos are quite simple in the way that they are shot but the camera techniques that are used in his videos make the video still enjoyable to watch. • I have previously researched into this artist in my last music video project and he still inspires me for this project too, he is an influence because I listen to his music a lot and I am aware of how his music videos are shot. This then inspires me because his music videos are very aesthetically pleasing however they are not high budget and is something that I am willing to achieve.
- 13. Key Influences (DC The Don) • DC The Don is a rapper who currently lives in LA, California. DC is inspiring to me because of how he performs in his music videos and also how different types of shots create a new atmosphere to the video. For example some of the shots in his music video are long shots and follow the performer around with one long take, this combined with quick editing works really well. This is something that I am wanting to implement into my music video because it’s a way to have a 10 second break from the quick editing and then when the song starts to pick up again I will go back to having quick editing and this is something that DC has in his music videos. • For example in his music video ‘Campfire story’ there is a shot where he is sat beside the camp fire lip syncing however this shot is longer than any other one in the video, therefore in that moment the viewers attention is on the video because the pace of the video has slowed down. There was one other moment in that music video where the camera follows the performer around the house greeting people, however the camera does not cut once. This is a technique that inspires me because I am wanting to create something similar. • Something that DC includes in his videos is intertextuality, there is many easter eggs hidden in his videos that are relevant to TV shows e.g. Beavis and But head. These easter eggs are seen whenever he says a lyric related to a TV show. This is a influence because its something that I would like to include in my music video to involve a bit of humour.
- 14. Key Influences (PSA Official Music Video) • This music video is one of my biggest inspirations because of how the video is edited and recorded, for example there is many camera techniques/tricks that I have learned from this music video that I would like to try and use myself. One of the camera tricks I would like to use in my own would be where the performer would in the main focus of the image however there will be town of the same person in the same shot to make it look like the same person. This is something that has inspired me because I feel as if its quite easy yet effective, because it will grab the viewers attention as there is something abnormal in the music video at makes the music video slightly unique.
