Music Video Theory

http://www.mtv.co.uk/artists/sexpress/video/superfly-guy

Whilst we are in the post-production I have decided to look back at some of the music videos which Andrew Goodwin thinks shows different theories of music video editing. The first music video which I am going to start with is a music video by S-Express who produced the song Superfly guy in 1988. This song shows some of Andrew Goodwin's theories of showing the tempo of the song because all the way through this song there are loads of cuts which shows the audience the pace and tempo which the music is at in a visual basis. This also represents the rhyme of the song which isn't extremely fast but shows the exhaustive nature of the song.

Nivana's In Bloom (1991)

In this music video you can see lots of the conventions of music videos for that genre. An example is this is a medium paced song so the music video has less shots compared with a fast paced music video like Superfly Guy from S-Express. This music video is also a patiche of the early black and white pop shows. This is represented by the way the audience is cheering them on and the way during the chorus that the band are standing still then the other parts of the song they a exaggerated by the pulling down of the set which wouldn't of happened in an old black and white pop show. 

Magazine Poster

This is another poster which I found in a music magazine when looking for debut album posters. This poster also shows all the conventions of usual album posters because of the website, names and quotes from different companies usually the paper companies. The main part of this poster which I particularly like is the sun and the sand which makes this album a more brighter and upbeat kind of music from looking at the poster. I will get inspiration from this to make the poster inviting and make the audience tell what sort of music is in the album.

This picture is a scan from a music magazine which I was looking through for album posters like this one. This poster has all the conventions of usual album posters because of the Album name which is This Is Music - The Singles 92-98 which is important in all album posters. Other conventions of all posters are the name of the band which is the Verve, others information on the poster is when the album is out on sale, a song which is featured in the album in this case ‘This Could Be My Moment’. This is helpful for selling an album because people might see the song on the poster which would make them buy the whole album which would help them sell the not so good songs on the album with the number one hit. There is also a website which is linked to the poster to show people where to go for further information. The main object which draws me to this advert is the name ‘Verve’ in the middle of the poster which is coloured in a florescent red to make it stand out from the background which I think works with the whole scenery. I also like how the have added a touch of mystery in this poster as there are three or four people on the top of the mountain looking down which could be the band or somebody else better than them representing that this is a good album as they are looking down on it.

Narrative Props

For our music video their is a scene in it where we will need postcards for the part of the music video where is says 'I get postcards of ex-girlfriends who live overseas'. To start with we looked on the internet for images which look like postcards and then found three different postcards which will show that he has ex-girlfriends which live in different countries. After we had found the images we printed the photos of and stuck them onto pieces of crd so they look like actual postcards on the music video.
