What is your chosen media and what is a music video?
The chosen media for my final piece is going to be a music video but I have two different ideas for
this type of media. A music video is a short film combining visual imagery and musical audio used to mainly promote an artist or their album/single or as a marketing device to sell physical or digital copies of music recordings. Music videos aren't only used to make money as they can also be used to put forward a message to a global audience or to create an artistic expression. Usually the images complementing the music are based on the lyrics of the song as this gives the audience a clearer understanding of the narrative.
What are the keys aspects of your chosen form of media?
One of the key aspects of a music video is the visual images usually correspond to the audio of the song lyrics in the background. Depending on the genre of music, the type of visuals and audio will vary massively, for example, between Dance/House Music and Hip-Hop/Rap. Other genres such as Pop and R n B will have varying differences, conventions and aspects. Another key aspect of most music videos is that they tend to have a narrative, message or it is based on a true story. Sometimes music videos don't have a particular narrative, for example, some rap videos don't have a narrative but then again a lot of rap music videos have a story and a meaning behind the visuals and the lyrics.
I have now decided to change my idea from a music video to a film trailer because I feel that this would be the better option for my Final Film.
