Today in our lesson we watched various past A2 music videos and discussed what and what does not make a good music video this is the list we came up with.
What's good
We decided that the best music videos need to have a good storyline ,if they are going to be made in a narrative style as if there is not a good storyline there is little to work with as a whole. The edits used in the music video must also be timeed to that of the song so the video flows smoothly and effectively. You also need to make sure your music video shows the music channels logo and the artist , song name and album name in this order ,in order for the video to look professional. You also need to make sure the bottom titles are tiny as you do not want to draw the audience away from the main focus , this being the music video itself. You also need to hire professional performers who are confident to perform as if you do not the music video could appear passionless and unprofessional. You also need to make sure all your camera frames are right as if they are not the final Finish can look messy and you will lose marks. Finally you need to book at the end and at the start in order to follow the stereotype of music videos. Finally only allow camera shots / frames to last for five seconds maximum as otherwise the music video can become boring and slow.
Whats bad
It is bad to create large titles as this draws focus away from the music video. It is also bad to focus to much on one shot for too long as it makes people lose interest in the actual music video. It is bad to hire people who are not going to take the project seriously. For example if they do not know their lines to the song it can effect the music video greatly as it will no longer look professional. It is bad to not vary your camera angles. Camera angles are marks therefore if you stick to one angle throughout you are limiting your grade and basically creating a non interesting video for people to disengage with.
