Images for my music video

Here are the four photographs I am going to add into my music video. The photos are of the artist and her ex boyfriend when they were together. Near the end of my music video I am going to add them in and I am going to to add a fire effect to make it look like the photographs are burning. This is showing she is finally forgetting about her past with her ex boyfriend. The fire effect also links with the lyrics of my chosen song. I was going to get my artist to have the photos in her hand and actually burn them however it wouldn't fit the narrative as she wouldn't just have some photos in her pocket. I was going to have the photos burn on the floor then the rain put it out. This would link with the lyrics of the song. I might also turn the photos into black and white to connote they're from the past. The first photograph is a close up of the couple kissing, this is showing they cared for each other. The second photo is a medium shot of the couple holding each other. This shows the artist felt comfortable with her boyfriend and she felt safe. I have changed these photographs into black and white to see what it would look like. The third and last photograph are both a medium shot of the couple. They are holding each other which shows the artist felt secure with her ex-boyfriend.

Practise edit

Here is a little practise edit of one of the house scenes. This is when the artist and her boyfriend are arguing and she is remembering what it was like. The lyrics for the scene are;
"But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things" 
This is just a practise so it gives me an idea what this scene will look like. I added the track and cut it to fit the scenes. There isn't any miming in this scene however their actions links with the lyrics so the audience is aware what is happening. I cut the footage down and also added a dip to black video transition. I was going to make it black and white to show it was in the past however it didn't look very professional as the lighting wasn't good. When I re-shoot I will make sure the lighting is better and also the mise en scene in the room.

Specific locations in East Park

Here are some photos of my locations for my music video. The first photograph is going to be where my artist is walking and sees other couples walking past. This will connote she is missing her past life. The second photograph is where my artist will walk and I will do a tracking shot following her. It looks like she is going to a secret location as the trees are surrounding her, this connotes she wants her past life to be a secret and lost. The third photograph is of a pond. My artist is going to sit on the steps and she won't be lip syching. It will look like she is thinking of her past relationship. The fourth and fifth photograph will be at the beginning of my music video. I will do a tracking shot of my artist lip syching to the camera. Walking can connote she is walking away from her past. The sixth, seventh and eighth photographs are going to be when my artist walks away from the camera. The walls are old and represents her old life - that she is leaving it once and for all. The ninth photograph is where my artist is going to stand. This is because the cross road will represent whether she will go to her past life or forget about her ex boyfriend and start a new life. In the tenth and eleventh photograph my artist will sit on the bench and then stand and walk down the road. She will have her back to the camera and the camera won't follow her to show she is going off on her own to start a new life.

Magazine analysis 3

This is an advert for La Roux's debut album. The left page is a close up of La Roux on the side. There is light shining onto her face which connotes she is going to be a shining new star. Her hair is spiked up and is taking up mos of the top space, this is because her hair is unique and people recognise her from her hair. She isn't wearing much makeup and is looking away from the camera. From the collar of her jacket she is wearing a black coat. The masthead is the name of the artist. It is in a white bold font which is easy for the audience to read. On the right page it is mainly critics reviewing the album. This is making the audience want to buy the album. All the text is in white which is clear for the audience to read.

Magazine analysis 2

This is an advert for Katy Perry's album 'Teenage Dream'. The image of Katy Perry is taking up the whole page which is making her look dominant. She is staring at the audience which is drawing in their attention. The mast head is in a themed font. It is quite colourful which is aiming at a younger audience as it is connoting fun. There is an image of the album which is showing audiences what it looks like. Katy Perry is wearing a tshirt with 'California' on which is reflecting her song 'California girls'. It is in a bold colourful font which stands out. It is easy to identify that this album is pop as it has the conventions of pop; colourful text and clothing. She is representing young girls and teenagers as they are the target audience. Also because they will be the ones who will use Katy Perry as a role model and identify themselves with her.

Magazine analysis 1

I am going to analyse this magazine advert for Gwen Stefani's album 'Love.Angel.Music.Baby'.

The main image of Gwen Stefani is taking most of the space on the page to show she is the artist. She is wearing a white dress and grey fur jacket with a broche. The fur coat and broche are connoting wealth and power. She is sat on a throne and has a crown in her hand. This suggests she has power and dominance. The main colour scheme for this advert is gold, red and white. These colours connote wealth and royalty. The advert has a gold border which suggests it is meant to look like a gold frame. This would suggest wealth. She is showing attitude by the way she is sitting. The masthead which is the artists name is in a themed gold large font which is clearly visible. The tagline underneath which is the album name is also in the same font and in gold and also the single names 'What You Waiting For?' and 'Rich Girl'. The themed font shows consistency and allows the audience to recognise this with the artist. There is a small image of the album so the audience knows what it looks like when they buy it. Gwen Stefani is representing girls and young women.

Texts for ancillary task

Here are some examples of different fonts I may use for my ancillary tasks. I like the second one as it is simple and looks sophisticated. The font looks handwritten which could connote my artist has handwritten her name herself so it is more personal. I don't want an over the top font as it wont fit the style of my artist. I also like the first font because it looks handwritten however it is bold so it makes it look more clear. I will probably keep the   colour black because it connotes sadness and I want it plain. If I have a black background I will change the font to another colour such as white, light pink or gold. The pink would connote romance and would link with the song. I don't want it to look really colourful because then it would look like I was promoting a pop artist. I will test each colour with the fonts to see what will look best depending on the colour of the background.
