Audience profile

with the Radiohead song and video Idea I feel the type of Audience it would aim at would be girls and boys in their teens.

The lyrics are a way of showing how individuals may feel and its an easy way for them to escape, maybe someone who feels they may be different

Our next task was to a practise music video before we started our Main one, My group got the song Creep by radiohead, once filmed and edited it will be uploaded onto youtube.

I decided to do some research and look on youtube at other A2 media music video's to get a few idea's on what things work and what doesn't work so well in the video's, here are a view I looked at...

these are just a few of the many videos I watched, I can take the good and not so good qualities from these videos to help me on ideas for my final video

Before filming the video We wrote Ideas down onto paper and we drew up a little plan of how the video will look.

We also had to produce a Digipak which included us taking images and editing thwem into a front cover, back cover etc..

Before doing this I looked at Radioheads Creep single cover to get Ideas on how to produce one..

These are the shots we took, although they didn't link to Radioheads cover they linked to our music video.

how to video

We was set the task to find a good how to video on youtube, after a long search I felt this was appropriate, although its basic it gets to the point and teaches you how to make a cup of tea

this video however is the opposite of a good 'how to video' its made me realise what I shouldn't do when filming

Planning process...










We produced a how to tie laces video

Due to techniqual difficulties with the camcorder we was unable to get our clips onto the mac so when we eventually did we had a limited amount of time to edit. If we had, had more time we would have added more transitions to make the video as run smoother. We also would have added subtitles to help the viewer.

Evaluation of 'The Urban Savannah' and 'I Love My Nails' video's

In today's lesson we watched two documentary based video's, they enabled us to think about the types of skills we would use in our own video's. The video's were very different and each had positives and negatives.

'The Urban Savannah' was the first video we watched, it was directed by matthew cook, vincent luna in 2004 and was based on animals and the difference in social groups, He used two different type teenage groups to portray this and they were made out to be the animals. Whilst watching this video we was asked to think about the features and how it informs, educates and entertains. Throughout the documentary they used humour yet it was still informative, due to the language used being formal (e.g: the dominant male) and the commentary(voice over) the whole way through the documentary which you would often see in a documentary, it was shown in an observational view(fly on the wall) because of the idea that it would have been too dangerous to get too close up. On top of that they brung expertise into it by including interviews with doctors.

'I Love My Nails' was the second video we watched directed by Katherine Freeman created in 2000, UK This video was less informal than the other, Unlike the first video it has no commentary and sometimes went silent. The filming was more close up and personal and showed questiones being asked and answered. It wasn't very educational yet it was still humourous in a bizarre way.

Overall I did take a lot from both video's and have now realised, to create a good video you don't have to be overly informative but some key information is needed and humour on its on can entertain the audience and keep them drawn in.
