Agenda

What ideas for music video i.e. conventions to incorporate into our own music video using the our primary research?
Creating the storyboard for our music video, possible iconography ideas?
Putting together the primary research onto our blogs, editng the focus group footage.

• Ideas for our music video using the knowledge and conventions we have researched - love narrative between a hetrosexual couple, during this a break up forms, so the male protagonist leaves their apartment and drives away, during this the male realises how much he loves his girlfriend and goes back to her.
• Possible iconography shots: Brighton Pier Night shots, Alloy Wheel exterior shots, Rear View Mirror, Sunset/Sunrise shots, Siloutte shots and Cracked Photofram containng a picture of the couple - Broken at first but then the frame is repaired in colleration with lyrics through the use of reversed slow motion shot/editing.

Aran is going to use the iconography shots described above, print the lyrics and annotate them into a storyboard.

I'm going to begin writing the primary research purposal.

Music Video Meeting W/ Group 2 7/9/11
Having transferred from one class to the other, this was my first lesson intergrated into my new group which consists of Tom, Daminder and Aran. They have already looked into conventions of genres in music videos so it is encouraging to know we're all at the same level.  

Agenda

What song has been chosen?
What conventions are there in rock music videos?
Who is the demographic?

• The song chosen by Tom and approved by the rest of us was 'Wheels' by the Foo Fighters because of its connotations and lyrics can be depicted and represented through the use of good iconography and cinematography.
• The common conventions for rock videos is a love narrative - so we are going to start building up a storyline based upon this. Aran also found out that the majority of rock videos often have a 'band shot', this is where the band are seen playing their instruments.
• The main demographic for the Foo Fighters are males aged between 12-17. http://lexicalist.com/search.cgi?s=foo%20fighters&d=ag
