Although my results are the opposite to my music video I believe that my idea will be successful as it is different and people may like the change.

First day filming.

On the first day we filmed all clips of the band. We filmed it using hand as it gives a documentary style feel, i chose to do this as I have seen it used in many other music videos for example in the music video for the song Hell song by Sum 41. I also chose to do this as it gives the "real" band feel; by this i mean it makes the band seem real and not like a group of year 13 student.

We filmed the live action part in the schools recording studio this also helps to show that this is a real band in a real recording studio; we had shots of the band playing around with the mixing desk and tuning their instruments as this is apparent in other popular music videos.

Filming 25th September.

On the 25Th I filmed the first 4 frames of my music video. There was some issues with the camera as we could not get the camera looking straight onto the picture; to prevent this i changed the camera from a video camera to a still camera, although this too came with its draw backs as it is very hard to get the camera in the exact same spot each time. I did the best i could with what was provided and it turned out good, it was also better than i expected as it gave the jagged feel that i wanted to portray in my music video.

Song choice.

The song that was chosen was Weekend wars by MGMT, this is a new Psychedelic space rock band. Their Album MGMT was voted best album of 2008.
This song was chosen as it has a jagged feel that went with an idea that i had for a while.

I also analysed three band images all based on the albums previously. All the bands have a sort of natural feel apart from Of Montreal (top right). All the bands are dressed in basic natural looking clothes.

Analysis of Cd Covers.

I analysed three AlbumCovers all from the same genre and noticed that all three had one similarity and that is that they are all quite natural, you can see in the Of Montreal album it is animated in a forest this makes it natural for obvious reasons, also the MGMT album is set on a beach and the moon is in the middle this gives the natural feel and finally the Empire of the sun album is natural as it has an image of the planet Saturn.

analysis of three music videos from my chosen genre.

I analyzed three songs from my chosen psychedelic genre to see what elements a typical music video from the genre contained.

Most of the videos included images of the band but all of them included random images and ideas that didn't really relate to the video and if they did it is not obvious to the audience.

Early ideas/ artwork for my music video.

This is an early idea for two characters in my music video for the song Weekend wars. I chose to have the first character extremely anorexic, to give a gritty dystopia psychedelic feel; this characters name is Ano. The bear is the complete opposite to him as he is strong big and warm.

Music Video Questionnaire.

When we first were asked to make a music video we had to do some consumer research. To do this I first made a questionnaire asking question like what's your favorite genre of music? and what do you like in a music video? from this i got a rough idea of what people wanted to see along with ideas that i originally had.
