Diary:Friday 19th October

I have been researching into music theory, mainly Andrew Goodwin over the past day. Andrew Goodwin suggests that there are 5 main aspects of music videos that audiences pick up on, which are:
Through beats
Narrative and performance
Star image
Relation of visuals to song
Technical aspects of music video
 Learning about this theory has helped me to think of ways in which  can incorporate these aspects into my music video, hopefully to make it successful and make audiences want to watch it.


I have created a power point on some music videos that i really like and have inspired me to create my own music video.  These music videos all include unique aspects that i would like to include in my music video if it were possible.

Analysis of song lyrics


Diary: Tuesday 9th October

Over the past week I have visited the location of where i will be shooting my music video, I have taken photos of the types of places that will appear in my location and an example of places where I could place the playing cards. Visiting the location that I will be filming on has also given me some more inspiration for elements i can include in my music video.

Tracking an artist throughout their career: Green Day

Diary: Monday 1st October

I have researched into an artist or band throguhout their career, i picked the band Green Day because they have been around for a number of years and are still very successful. Research into Green Day has helped me to gain an overall understanding of the difficulties and the benefits that bands and artists experience through out their career, and how its not as easy to make it successfuly as the media portrays it to us. I have picked a much less famoud band for my actual music video, i feel like this was the correct choice because not many people know about them, infact neither did i until i started doing my music videos, therefore nobody will have an expectation of how my video will look, which gives me more confidence to be more experimental with the way i shot my video.
