Before I started to think about ideas of the genre of music and type of narrative or story I looked at a few different music videos of various artists that reflected different stories, narrative and performance in their music video. Here are a few video's I have analyzed and have picked particular shots that interested me most and gave me a strong impression of the music video as well as the artist themselves.
Analysis of Chris Brown's 'Turn up the Music'
Analysis of Keri Hilson's 'Pretty Girl Rock'
Analysis of Michael Buble's 'Haven't met you yet'
Here is an annotated music video i put up on YouTube to show what i found interesting and enjoyed most about this production as well as the different angles shots which fit nicely along with the lyrics of the song as well as the visuals.
Summary of research findings:
What I had gathered from these music videos is the range of creative camera shots that are cleverly linked either to the lyrics or beat of the song. There are also many close up shots of the artists in order to emphasize a specific emotion, lyric or to identify the artist as the main person in the music video. I also found that in the music video, a female artist has more various types of costumes than men, and that the costume demonstrates the artists character in terms of style and color tone.
What I planned to do with these findings:
What I plan to do with these findings is to focus on my camera skills explicitly in terms of; keeping it steady and using a specific camera shot for a particular part of a scene. In order to do this, I will need to use a high quality DSLR camera and use a tripod to keep the camera in place. I must also ensure that I plan a broad range of camera shots in my story board in order to visualize my music video clearly and make adjustments on paper if I need a change.
