Research blog: Music Video Conventions

 

The song I chose is very well known and everyone knows its music video. The song “Girls just want to have fun” is very upbeat along with the music video. The music video shows off the fun side of the song. In the music video there is a lot of joy and letting loose. Sindy Lauper is the singer of the song and she is also in the music video. In the music video she starts off coming home and her mom being mad at her. Then the phone rings and her dad gets mad at her. Then she talks on the phone with all her friends and they are all doing different activities while talking on the phone. After that they all meet up and run all over town singing and having fun. All throughout the video it goes back to all the girls in rows singing the song. At the end of the video a bunch of people go back to her house with her and they dance around. But they show the parents mad. Through the whole video she is having fun and not caring what everyone else thinks. She is just having fun with her friends. All the songs in this genre show the person doing things to express how the emotions in the song. The most commonly scene conventions in pop music is someone dancing around, lots of colors, artists that look perfect, great makeup, and fun costumes. Pop music videos almost always have a party or dancing around scene. They also always have the singer lip singing their song. Sometimes they have close ups of the characters in the video. They make sure to get the message of the song across. They may also have light or sound affects added to the video. All music videos in this genre show exactly what the songs sound like and express.

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
  We started off first with watching the short film,9. It was only about 10 minutes long and there was no dialogue during it. When I first watched the film, I thought that there would be some dialogue. Doing, or having would increase the quality of this short film greatly. Not only would it make it better, but easier to understand what the plot is. There were many times throughout this short film where I didn't know what was happening. I didn't know what was going on or the plot throughout the whole film. It was hard to follow without any dialogue.I  had to resort to watching the characters' body language in order to understand what was happening. Maybe the little noises the characters made for each emotion would have been better. But that isn't very easy when they're little rag dolls. If it had this dialogue it would be easier to understand, but they would also be able to add lots more. Dialogue is a major contribution in films. Without it, they can almost seem pla...

I am Karli Norkin, I am in grade 11, and l ast year  I took part  in  as  level Media studies.  Thanks to a lot of hard work and devotion  I  passed and am  now in A level Media studies.  I took the year  to learn the vocabulary and key wording I needed to succeed in the class. I also learned the best ways to film and edit over all my projects.  I started with my commercial. This project was the beginning of my leaning towards filming.

The best ways to show the emotions of the  characters , or the best w ay to sell an object. After the commercial I made a music video that was longer and more complex than the commercial.  This complexified my knowledge of  filming and  writing plots. I used more of my vocabular y  tha t  I was  taught  before during this project.  I fel...
