Inter-textuality 1:

Inter-textuality 1:

“The idea that a given text is a response to what has already been written, be it explicit or implicit; the reference to another separate and distinct text within a text

An example of inter-textuality is Madonna’s Material Girl 1985 and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes 1953.

The intertextual image is not of Monroe but of the Hollywood archetype of what was the epitome of ‘sexy’ at the time.

Madonna has then copied this image to recreate it but with a modern twist. Below you can see that the similarities between the images are uncanny.



What a good/successful music video should include:

What a good/successful music video should include:

Generally, successful music videos are predominantly based around close-ups and mid-shots, some of which will be of the singer or the band. As in most TV this is partly due to the size of the screen as well as to meet the desire of the viewer so that they feel personally connected to their band or artist.

It has been stated by ‘John Stewart of Oil Factory’ that he sees the music video as ‘essentially having the aesthetics of the TV commercial, with lots of close ups and lighting being used most prominently for the stars face’.

It could be argued that the music video is a means of advertising; if people who are not yet fans are able to view a music video which is exciting and captivating, they will have a stronger desire to buy the artists records than if they were exposed to an uninteresting music video.

Continually, to maintain audience interest, directors and editors make sure to use the most effective means of editing in music videos. This is known as ‘fast cut montage’ which does not allow the viewer to be immediately aware of what the images are as they move so quickly, meaning that they will want to watch the sequence again to have a greater understanding; thus ensuring a higher level of hits on websites like ‘Youtube’ while keeping the audience interest very high.

And example of a music video which uses the technique of ‘fast cut montage’ is the ‘Bimbo Jones’ edit of ‘Pink’s ‘Sober’

As you can see, the video is extremely fast paced and could be unclear or confusing if only viewed once, however, once viewed a number of times, the story line unfolds.

However, there are successful music videos which use slower paced and gentler transitions while still generating a vast audience appeal. Some artists may prefer this method as it is relevant to their genre, or because their music is not extremely fast paced in terms of the beat.

An example of an artist who’s music videos are of a slower pace is ‘Snow Patrol’s’ ‘Run’ the melody is melancholy and simply follows the lead vocalist of the group walking at night time. As the song is down-beat, a ‘fast cut montage’ would detract from the purpose of the song and remove the simplicity of it which is what makes it successful.

Additionally, editing and digital effects can be extremely important in the success rate of a music video.

Special effects are of such high demand in the present day for the reason that technology has made huge advances so quickly. Due to this, the younger generation is not only accustomed to, but expects most music videos to involve some element of special effects.

Special effects act as an illusion in music videos in that they heighten the already filmed video footage.

They can be divided in the categories of ‘optical effects’ and ‘mechanical effects’. Special effects take place after the filming of the music video, although tools like ‘gels’ can be used to alter the original colour of on-screen footage.

An example of a band who have used special effects to an extreme degree are the ‘Black Eyed Peas’ with their single ‘Meet me Halfway’. The single has been listed as ‘the 10th biggest seller in the U.K of 2009’

The video is futuristic as well as artistic through it’s use of special effects; it shows the band members in space and some of them levitate; something which could only have been achieved with special effect programs.

The 21st century sees the public being bored easily and constantly wanting to see originality. The single success rate was probably due to the notion that the video was so enticing to an audience along with the alternative approach because something like it has never been done before making it unique.

‘Star Image’ is the next stage of what makes a music video successful. Richard Dyer has stated ‘a star is an image constructed from a range of materials’.

Accordingly, such materials should include

· The songs – the lyrical meaning, themes, structure and genres.

· Record covers- singles and albums covers and the way in which they present the ‘star’.

· Media coverage and how the star is portrayed by the media; i.e. are they a role model, do they have negative influences, are they stereotypically beautiful or attractive, how is their private life depicted through gossip etc.

· Live performances; is the star able to give a successful live performance and what kinds of techniques they use to make their concert/show memorable or individual.

· Their music videos and whether they draw upon all of these other aspects.

Reconstruction of a star;

Initially, a star may have an idea of the type of music they wish to produce and what kind of image they would like to present. Generally, most ‘stars’ are manufactured to ensure that they meet the needs of the public in order to make them successful and provide a profit.

An example of a star who has been reconstructed is Plan B; he originally produced rap music, but when the present chart was dominated by techno and editorial styled music like ‘Lady Gaga’ ‘Rihanna’ and the ‘Black Eyed Peas’, Plan B soon changed from his original stance to what would be viewed as more commercial music.

Plan B’s music videos act as a reflection of his changed music thus reinforcing his ‘star’ image.

Voyeurism in Pop Music:

“The sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviours, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other activity usually considered to be of a private nature”.

Most music videos from the modern day are based around the female body in order to intice a male audience. Some Music videos like ‘Christina Aguilera’s Dirrty’ have been compared to being similar to soft porn. The directors of this music video were clearly aware of the scantily clad female and that this would give some men sexual pleasure. As callous as it appears, this is a very high priority for music video directors in order to boost record sales.

‘Goodwin’ argues that female performers will be frequently objectified in this way. Many shots will be very revealing of areas which are viewed in a sexual fashion.

This is an image taken from ‘Benny Benassi’s Satisfaction’ and as you can see, the females are placed in very suggestive poses.

Furthermore, in male performances, female performers can be seen as accessories to the male star in order to boost his ego and say to other male viewers that it is acceptable to treat women as objects

For example, ‘Kanye West’s video for Goldigger’ demonstrates a number of females dancing provocatively with a group of men.

Equally, the same idea of objectification can be seen by the female desire of wanting to see the male body on display. Although this may raise questions about how the female viewer is supposed to receive what is being viewed. Due to sexist ideas in society it could be argued that women do not have the same sexual needs as men. However, this has dramatically changed since the 21st century and women needs are now being considered which is why the male body being present in music videos is becoming ever more frequent.

An example of such ideas is ‘Shayne Ward’s Gotta Be Somebody’ and as you can see, Shayne is Topless which simply attracts a broader female audience; some may not enjoy the music and simply watch for their sexual needs.

Research into existing 'Bat For Lashes' myspace:

Market research 3

http://www.surveymonkey.com/MySurvey_Responses.aspx?sm=WzFWgwxLrcOgMiAfFdukcbeY0vTnkSHWLGNebtIK0ys%3d

This is a link to a very general survey for which i received 9 responses.

Target audience:

This is an example of our target audience.

Chloe and I decided that people aged from fifteen + would be appreciative of our chosen music. As ‘Bat For Lashes’ are of the indie genre we feel that people who dress alternatively to what is considered to be the norm may also want to listen to our music as it is unconventional compared to popular music currently in the charts.

For example, the current number one in the singles chart is ‘JLS –Love You more’

Which Chloe and I feel would not be at the interest of our target audience. This is because of the clichéd lyrics about love and romance like ‘every day I love you more and more’ Further, the video focuses on male beauty and is targeted at female fans which we think is limiting. As we want our music video to be abstract and visually unobtrusive of the female body, we feel that ‘indie’ candidates would appreciate our product.

An example of a music video that our target audience may want to watch is ‘Feist – My Moon My Man’

The video is abstract but focuses on the singer of the band and uses lyrics like ‘my moon my man’s a changeable land’ which give an alternative insight into ideas about love. The fact that the love is changeable demonstrates unique ideas that love is not always perfect as presented in JLS’s music video.




This is Maslow's hierarchy of needs. ''Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation. Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. ''
I will be using this to help me understand why our chosen target audience will be interested in our Music Video.


Maslow’s Hierarchy demonstrates the different aspects that people need to have satisfied and accomplished in order to move on to the next step. Eventually, when all the steps have been completed, ‘Self Actualisation’ is made in which you are genuinely happy in yourself.

Excluding nutritional needs and requirements, in my opinion, our Music Video could help its audience achieve Self Actualisation.

I say this because the Music Video does not try to depict reality as the colours and lighting is so varied and extreme, causing the audience to reach self actualisation by feeling that they have the comfort of knowing that their lives are far more stable than how the subject is presented.

A sense of belonging is illustrated through the genre; the Indie genre is a niche market, though it brings people together through the knowledge that they no longer feel like outsiders as others share the same music taste.
I would argue that esteem can be established by how the subject is represented; She is not shown in a seductive manner which will not cause the female audience to feel intimidated by her. In addition, both sexes should be able to appreciate the subject as her features are attractive but we have not chosen to display her crudely. This will also boost esteem, as the way the subject is presented is not unrealistic.
Aesthetic needs can be met by the way the characters dress and speak. We chose characters in which our audience can relate to and feel as though they are real. We also shot all footage in easy access locations like bedrooms and gardens which could give the impression that what we have achieved is not out of reach for our target audience.
We wanted our subject to appear to be authentic and we feel that we achieved this. Aestheticism has been met.
Lastly, if our music video did create a feeling of ‘Self Actualisation’ for its audience I would feel very proud and as though we had achieved a lot more than we thought capable. It would be very encouraging if our film made people feel positively about their own lives.


Here are some aspects/interests/habits that their lives may include and would contribute to our music video.

Music;
Our chosen Target audience would listen to alternative and indie music and not necessarily what would be considered most popular in the chart.
We would consider this to be music that our target audience would not listen to and what is referred to as ‘Pop’. Jay Z and Alicia Keys ''Empire State of Mind''



On the other hand, possible artists that they may listen to would be Hot Chip. I say this because their music is alternative and containts subliminal messages of what many teenagers would relate to. their music also has an electro/trance feel to it which is suggesstive of the target audience behaviours and attitudes.



As you can seem our chosen audience appear to be social and approachable people group that enjoy meeting new people and discussing their likes and dislikes.
Things they may watch on the Television may include; The Apprentice, Desperate Housewives, Skins, and Lip Service. All of which encapsulate the older teen and young adult lifestyle thus meaning real teenagers and young adults can relate.



Places where they would shop for clothing;
Highstreet trends such as TopShop. They would stray from JD sports and stereotypically ‘chavvy’ clothing. Other shops may include Urban Outfitters and All Saints- these are places renowned for originality which is what all teenagers aspire to be.




Habits and interests;

Our target audience may be interested in group social activities like going to gigs or to the pub where there is live music. They would be University students or in their latter years of secondary school and college.


Likes/ Dislikes:
They would dislike anything that they cannot relate to or find degrading. For example, something which they would not like could be ‘The Simple Life’ with Paris Hilton. I say this because it involves Paris behaving very self obsessed and as though she is very stupid and enjoys spending lots of money just because she can.

They would enjoy things with more depth and significance to them such as ‘The Breakfast Club’ which is a film about teenagers in detention and how they unite and rebel against the detention system.





Why our target audience would like our music video;
They would like and enjoy our music video because it relates to and communicates to young adults and teenagers through it being experimental and original when considering typical music videos. They would also be attracted to the colours and rapid changes in shot.

Our Target audience would be most likely to consume our product at home where they can watch music videos on the television or on-line.

This is a draft of our initial magazine advert. As this is a draft, we may make changes to the magazine advert as we are not sure how this will look on a page as an actual magazine advert. The Draft is to help give a rough idea of what the outcome could be and to give us some direction so that we have some guidelines to refer to.

Inspirational images.

Inspirational Images:
The vibrancy in Andy Warhol's work has been a definite inspiration to our work. I like the use of the colour and that the vibrancy is what draws the spectator towards it.

This is 'Knives' by Andy warhol which i have looked at because of the contrast similar to the sections in our music video which use high contrast to enhance the visuals.

This screen shot of the lips is a prime example as the purple and pale grey act as opposites and thus make the other stand out more.

Director of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show ' - 'Jim Sharman' has used the image of bright red lips as the cover of his film. This instantly draws you into the image; as the audience we want to know what the significance of the red lipstick is and the importance of the lips.
Chloe and I both feel that lips are a feature which hold lots of connotations which is why they are the central focus of our music video.
This image acted as inspiration for us to develop shots of the same quality.

Lighting

Today we were taught about lighting and how as directors of our music video, we have the ability if we so desire to manipulate the type of lighting and the effect this may create in the studio at school. The studio is best for shooting scenes of a band playing or something which needs a very precise effect or feel about it, for example, the contrast in Blu Cantrell's 'Breathe' would have been created in a studio.

Meeting

Chloe and I decided to have a formal meeting to set dates and targets so that we were both aware of the deadlines we needed to meet. We thought this to be a good idea as some of the elements of the music video are being completed by us individually and if we were unable to discuss a set of dates, it would be difficult to know what would be realistically achievable.
I thought the meeting was a positive experience as we were able to learn from each other as we both had ideas which would contribute a-lot to the overall product. For example, I suggested that close-up shots of Chloe's mouth would be effective while Chloe suggested that this effectiveness could be re-enforced with the use of such shots in rhythm to the beat to create ambi-editing.
Overall, we found that being able to think as a pair made planning for out music video alot less-stressful as this gave us both access to alternative opinions.


Market Reasearch 2


Our second candidate is Georgina who is stating that the idea that women are objectified in music videos is irrelevant to the songs most of the time. With our product in mind, we feel that Georgina would be appreciative of our choice to have shot close-ups and mid-shots of the female artist. This would signify to people like Georgina that our music video is not provocative of the female body in any form. Georgina did state that she likes that the girls in the music videos are pretty which is something we took into consideration when casting Chloe.
I felt that Chloe's features were particularly photogenic and would thus be aesthetically pleasing to shoot in our music video.
Overall, asking for people's general opinions about music videos has taught more more about what Chloe and I need to do in order to make our music video a success.
When our music video is complete we will show it to friends or family or classmates with objective views to discover if our approach meets the requirements of what people want to see in a music video.

Market Reasearch

As you can see, Matt is interested in unusual music videos which don't necessarily follow the typical conventions like a lot of music videos do. It is a candidate such as Matt whom our product is aimed at; our music video is based more upon visuals rather than storyline and we feel that somebody like Matt would appreciate this more than something which is immediately obvious like the 'clichéd relationship' approach which he mentioned.

Using Photo-shop!

As a 'beginner' being aware of aspects such as different 'layers' was not immediately obvious to me. In order to overcome my lack of knowledge toward Photoshop, I attended a session which aimed to break down the difficult and more technical side of the programme for people like me who are new to using it.

Final storyboard

This is our final storyboard for which Chloe and I worked on after re-evaluating our initial storyboard. We took into consideration shots which we wished to include that were absent in the initial storyboard. We feel that this will make shooting very clear as we will avoid shooting any footage which is not needed. We planned this story board step by step and in great deal. I now feel ready to start shooting as we have strong ideas set in place.

Initial Storyboard


This is our first storyboard. Here is a breakdown of each image.

1) Extreme close ups of candles.
2)Close ups of roller skates with sparklers attached.
3)Medium shot of subject (Chloe) singing with a setting of candles and red fairy lights to match her red hair.
4)Extreme close up of subject's lips with face paint on.
5)Cut to subject's lips with different face paint on them.
6)Ambi-editing on lips; lips change colour to beat while subject sings.
7)Really fast editing of lips changing colour; like flashes.
8)Key, Fill and Back-Lights on drummer.
9)Different shots of subjrct holding snake.
10)Close-ups of eyes changing colour.
11)Close-ups of eyes shut and changing colour.
12)Subject blinks to bring the close ups of the eye shots to a close.
13) Bat in flames to end the music video (Playing on the title of the band 'Bat for Lashes).

Digipak ideas; Visuals


I have looked at Kanye Wests 'Heartless' album for visual inspiration as I feel that the use of colour is very successful. The constrast between the artist's suit and the blue of the digipak is perfect as they do not clash; they complement one another. The 'crumpled red heart' technique is also extremely eeffective as it demonstrated the notion that album may be about heartbreak and/or relationship struggles. The red heart can also be seen on the breast of the artist shooting out a colourful array to the larger heart which signifies the artist has a lot of feelings around what he is trying to convey. The red heart standing alone on the back of digipak makes it appear vulnerable and open whilst giving the impression that Kanye West is wearing his heart on his sleeve and presenting all of his emotions in the album.
From this digipak, I can learn that colour can be used to effectively highlight emotions and that the use of colour need not be dramatic to still be achieve the desired effect; an overuse of colour could be too distracting and make the presentation of the digipak less successful as an overall product.






Other inspiration from existing digipaks;

Overall, I really like the digipak for 'o' as it is very simple yet meaningful at the same time. Considering our chosen song and genre, I feel that our digipak would need to include more information of a bolder content to make a stronger statement as our music video is brightly coloured and bold, the digipak would need to coincide with this.


This is the music video for 'The Blower's Daughter' by Damien Rice to demonstrate that the layout of the digipak is relevant to the music.

Digipak Ideas/inspiration

Jack Johnson
What I feel I can learn from this digipak is to keep the design very simple but maintain personal motifs of the artist so that the fans/target audience feel that they are seeing relevant ideas surrounding their artist.
I can also learn that aspects like awards the artist has won and recommendations from respected music magazines can draw in a wider audience.
I feel that this digipak is very successful, however there are some things that I would like to include in the 'Bat For Lashes' digipak such as a poster and advert for our artist.

Video Diary

Ideas for song opening;

We feel that the opening of the song is extremely important; it's the first thing which the audience get to see.
For the song opening, we want to cut to the beat very quickly and use very bold colours. I intend to achieve this by using colourful face paints on Chloe and by editing the footage afterwards in terms of contrast and colour.
I will use a variety of colours on Chloe; for example, purple and grey, yellow and green, blue and pink etc. For each set of colours, we will shoot Chloe lip syncing the song from start to finish to secure enough footage and to make editing easier so we can interlink and cross-over footage. This means that this section of footage will be time consuming and demanding when coming to edit but will be worth the hard work as it will make the opening of the music video appealing to our audience.

Planning

Planning;

Chloe and I are both taking on roles in the project to help with organising the making of the music video. Chloe will act as the subject and be responsible for costumes while I will shoot scenes and be responsible for hair and make-up design. Chloe and I will make joint decisions about setting and will be equally accountable for editing the music video.

I have decided that we will need face paints for close ups of Chloe’s face and big close-ups of Chloe’s lips once they have been effectively painted.

As band are called ‘Bat For Lashes’ I bought some false eyelashes and eyeliner for Chloe to wear during scenes as I feel this will be emphatic of the band title.

Chloe’s hair will be styled differently in the changing scenes to give the essence of professionalism while making the music video more varied in terms of aesthetics.

lip sync

At the very beginning of this project, before we had chosen our groups or begun any planning, we were informed about the difficulties surrounding successful lip-syncing. Our teacher wanted to demonstrate to us how problematic it can be for the subject to appear as though they are really signing rather than miming the words and the editing process which follows.
After Chloe and I were made aware of this, we decided that poor lip syncing can in fact cause the audience to feel uninspired or negative toward the artist, thus making us determined to perfect lip-syncing in our music video from initial shooting, to editing the footage.
Here are some screen shots of successful lip-syncing in our music video.
Initial we found it difficult when using final cut pro to lip-sync as the logical side of it would sometimes cause confusion; whether the footage came first or the music. Eventually, after many attempts, we physically stated which came first; footage or music and drew diagrams to make it distinctly clear.

Storyboard

Treatment;


Treatment:

Song Choices:

· The XX ‘Crystallised’

· Bat For Lashes ‘Pearl’s Dream’

Initially, when we received the specification at the beginning of the summer before the end of the school year, Chloe and I were going make a music video for the song ‘Crystallised’ by ‘The XX’

This was our first song choice as there is a definite and consistent beat throughout and we know a group of friends in a band who were willing to help us with ‘band’ scenes.

However, when we returned to school in September, ‘The XX’ has become a very mainstream band and we thought it would be difficult to recreate a video that would be distinctively different to the official one.

In accordance, we decided on a new song choice which was Pearl’s Dream’ by ‘Bat For Lashes’. This was because ‘Bat for Lashes’ are of the Indie genre, and as a pair, we wanted to create something alternative to what is considered typical or common.

Choosing the name of our Band was simple as it was already decided by the real name of the band ‘Bat For Lashes’ which we did not want to change as the title coincided with ideas which we had.

We decided on to keep the title as it is also relevant to our theme and would give the audience and indication of what the music or music video would entail.

Chloe an I we were happy with the title ‘Bat For Lashes’ and the song name ‘Pearl’s Dream’ as we thought it was a good indication that the music video would be about possibly being in a dream like state, or something enchanting as ‘Pearl’ and ‘Dream’ connote such imagery. Furthermore, the incidence of the word ‘Dream’ would allow us to be fairly abstract when filming as dreams can be like rapid changes in thought or trains of thought which outsiders may not fully understand.

Our music video would begin with abstract shots of artistic and photographic images involving vibrant colours in order to establish a dream-like feel. We would then show rapidly moving shots of the camera cutting to the subject’s lips in numerous different colours and patterns. This would give the idea that a story is about to unfold or be told by the artist due to the closeness and intimacy felt by the mouth/lips. There would also be shots of sparklers to signify the possibility of hazard or something exciting about to commence.

There would then be medium shots of the subject lip-syncing the song and telling her story about the dream and a place that she knows she must go but does not know where yet; ‘There’s a place I must go, It’s not a place I have seen, But I’ll get there in a blue dream’. These lyrics are we will use blue imagery; like big close ups of the subjects lips and flashing blue lights etc. The fact that the lyrics state that ‘It’s not a place I have seen’ is why we will use abstract imagery; the audience are as aware of the events as the artists which will leave them wanting more.

The music Video will continue to develop upon this basis; abstract and artistic shots to correspond with the Indie/Alternative genre, and rapidly changing imagery to match the idea that there is an element of confusion due to the music video being based upon a dream and the idea of the unknown.

We want to use the motif of a bat in our music video in order to demonstrate that this is a ‘Bat for Lashes’ music video. Chloe and I plan to use matches or flammable gel to create an outline of a bat and set it on fire. This will also build tension from images of the sparkers as they will be developing into flames as the video reaches its climax.

We plan to close the music video with the motif of the bat on fire and fading out with the music. We believe that this will leave our audience wanting more as the ending will be left ambiguous just like waking from a dream causes uncertainty and the desire to ask questions about what has just happened.
