Script For Music Video


Music videos are a very important part of the industry of music because they serve a lot of purposes in the industry. They advertise the artists songs to  the market and they show off their new songs. They represent the record company that is linked to the artist and the company that the artist is signed too. It is a good marketing tool for them.
Music videos are mainly used to be viewed online across the whole word – and on TV for the artist’s fans and viewers to screen their new songs on a music video – it brands their song. The record company also gets involved with this. The music videos increase for that the artists are bringing out because more people have viewed it online and watched them being played online. This means that the viewers can understand more about the artist and what the artist music is like and understand what the rest of the album is like and how the album is going to be made and what kind of music is going to be played on the album.
In music videos the artist is normally in it – and they are normally the main focus and have a great amount of close ups and establishing shots to show the audience where they are in the music video and how important they are to the song and have a great deal of choice and involved in the music video just as much as everyone else. They must normally be in the music video because the viewers need to know who the artist is and it is important that they know this because they need to make sure they know the artist and who the singer actually is. Music videos are an excellent way for a musician or singer to make a business. I
ARTISTS APPEARING IN MUSIC VIDEO:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2FRPA3Gf8 – In this music video of Miley Cyrus – Wrecking Ball. This is a song that is only focused on her, it has many close ups. This makes her link well with the audience and has a great deal of emotion towards the audience – she can make a connection with the audience with these close ups. You can see her facial expressions with the good camera shots. This helps her promote herself and shows you her kind of music. You can also see that she is making a amazing connection with her music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_v9MY_FMcw In this song Best Song Ever – One Direction. They also are very focused on in this music video –there are only little parts when background dancers/people are viewed in the music video and only have a certain time in the music video. This shows that the artists have a very strong connection with the music and the listeners and their fans. It is important for the the artist to appear in the video because… it represents them as a person and it shows the audience what they are going to be watching for the rest of the video.
When the song carrys on whole way through:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GADx4Hy-Gg this song for You Make Me – Aviici. This is a very good example because it has the song the whole way through the music video this makes the music video and the song link really well together and they have a good connection together and this is showed really well in the music video they link really well together and have a great connection and the music laying the whole way through makes the music video more interesting to watch and get involved in. Give another example of this technique. Then explain why this technique is used.
Artists normally lip sing in a music video:
In Pink’s song ‘Just Give Me A reason’ she lip-synchs the whole way through her music video music this is how they make a good music video. It creates an image that they are actually singing the song in the video – which shows how they are as a artist. This helps to show who the actual artist is. Another person who does this is Rihanna in a lot of her music videos this gives across that a lot of artists do this in their music video’s which shows their identities and has a good clear idea about them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpQFFLBMEPI – and the other video for my evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWA2pjMjpBs It is important for the artist to lip-sync in the video because… they have a lot of different ideas and It is important because people can then understand what they are saying and understand the singing side of it.

The artist will perform throughout the video, either dancing, playing instruments or gesturing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGyEd0aKWZE In this video there are multiple clips throughout the video that Ellie Goulding is performing and singing the song. This shows that the fact that the singer can actually perform live which massively helps their artist analysis and helps them in future reference. Give another example of someone dancing or a band playing in the video clip and explain why it is important. In Katy Perrys Song/Music Video: ROAR. She is performing throughout the video because she is expressing her feelings through this music video and has a lot of different ideas in her music and expresses them through her performance and singing.

      The video will usually have 3 or more different locations, which may change with each           verse/chorus
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg59q4puhmg
In this videos there are multiple locations that the video is shot in, in this video Avril Levinge uses a lot of different locations in this video because she’s showing her emotions towards someone and wants to tell them how she feels towards them and she does this by using different locations. Explain exact6ly what the locations are. Give another video as an example. Explain that location changes are important because they stop ‘viewer fatigue’. (A fancy way of saying the viewer doesn’t get bored.)    The different locations in this video are good because it shows that the viewers aren’t going to get bored of looking at the same thing throughout the whole music video this is good because they are going to keep getting a lot of viewers which is good for the artist and will keep up a good reputation for them and will keep uping there views.
                                                                               
               The costumes will match the locations and will often change when they change.
               http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMxX-QOV9tI – This video of Jessie J shows this a lot   because it has a different outfit change for a lot of the different camera shots – and different locations in the music video this helps out the musician because it shows their identity and shows what they are interested in and what they want to look like for it. Give another example of costume changes. Explain how the costumes will represent the artist in a certain way which is important ot their marketing.  Costumes are very much so linked in with the style of the song and the music video which is important because it then expresses the feeling off the artist and what they are singing about in the music video and how they are going to feel towards the singing and the performing.

There will usually be sections of the video that are filmed in a studio, most often the performance parts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV2ssT8lzj8
In this video Lil Wayne and Eminem appear in a scene with a black background and smoke on the floor, this would have been a purpose built set for the music video, which gives a professional appearance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KII1ruAfvsg Take That had parts of this video filmed in a purpose built recording studio. Explain why studios are often used.studios are often used because they create a good effect on certain music videos – I think it is effective when artists are performing in studios because it makes a good effect and has a lot of different ideas that can be used with the music video and make the video different from the othr music video. The ones we use have a different music video because

The video will usually contain some kind of narrative, often intercut with performance shots.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsxSxF3JKeU this music video ‘Who’s Laughing Now’ – is a music video sung and performed by Jessie J – this has a story line about Jessie singing about how she got bullied at school and now that she’s famous, all the bullies from school want to be her friend and she’s saying how she’s the one laughing now, because everyone told her that she would never make it. They always bullied her; this kind of music video is excellent because it shows emotion a lot more. Give another example of a narrative video ad explain why narratives are used. Another example of a narrative video is: Story of My Life- One Direction.. this is a narrative because they are showing you their life throughout pictures in the music video(whilst singing about it) this is very effective because they are showing their emotions through song and showing you their life through pictures. People and artists do this because they connect more with their viewers. The viewers have a different persepective of the image. the image of this object

The video will contain a range of camera movements to create a dynamic look (energy) most often tracks, cranes and whip pans.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbtPXFlZlHg Jason Derulo’s music video has a lot of good detail and good camera movements – this is because he links his dance moves in with his singing movement and has a great deal of different ideas that he expresses in his dancing and he also links this together with his music and creates a lot of different ideas about the music video and has a good idea about the emotion towards the camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys7-6_t7OEQ beauty and a beat contain hand held camera movement from the singer as he moves creating a home-made video feel. This differs from most music videos and gives an original look to the video.


The video will use mostly close ups for the lip-synch, mid/long shots for performance and extreme close ups for cutaways.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_1aF54DO60 Lana Del Rey
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHp2KgyQUFk Beyonce
the shot distances it goes close up when they are singing especially when the song is going to be emotional this gives off amazing feel and makes you really feel how the singer is feeling and how they are feeling whilst they are singing the song and have a amazing idea about the song and what it is about – the music depends on the person as well because it has loads of different ideas about different camera shots in the music video.
The video may often use high angles to create a vulnerable look, or low angles to create a dominant or powerful look.



There will be a wide range of different shot types/angles in each location to allow for dynamic and non-repetitive editing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZLUa8JUR18 Lil Wayne
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnVUHWCynig Beyonce
both if these videos use multiple camera shots and angles and progress through the video, this stops the editing from being repetitive the camera shots have various different ideas for the many different camera shots, and they have different locations for each camera shot and this is shown by the emotion and different camera shots that are involved in the music video, both of these music videos above are a great example about different shot types and angles.
