Convention of a narrative music video

The music video i analysed is called "we found love" which is made by Rihanna this music video used a lot of different shots which were used to tell the story in the video which is about partying, love, having fun and doing bad things. the music video tells it story through editing because each shot or scene in the video is no more than 2 seconds long which shows that the video cut up.

This music video has used a lot of locations to tell the story, the music video consists of at least ten locations. these are some of the many locations used in the video.

 This is a print screen of the shop location.

This is the print screen of the fish and chip shop location.

 This is the print screen of the flat location.

There are a lot of different camera shots used in the music video such as close ups, over the shoulder shot,  medium close up long shot, extreme close up and many more. they have used these camera shots to add to the quick editing used in the video to tell the story line. they are used to help emphasise the storyline in the video.

They also use a green screen in this music video to project an image of a burning house. this is because it shows that the relationship between Rihanna and the boy in the video is burning, crumbling and breaking up. also they used the green screen because of health and safety reasons and also because of the budget they probably could not afford to go buy a house and burn it. Also they use the green screen to add special effects such as lightning and clouds

How to use green screen?

1. Create a green screen background by painting a wall green or covering it with a green cloth or covering it with a big piece of green paper.

     2.  If you are using fabric, mount it to the wall using glue strips or liquid nails.

     3.  Light the green screen separately from the subject to eliminate hot spots.

     4.  Make sure the subject does not wear anything with the colour green unless the subject wants to be        invisible.

     5.  Place the talent far enough away from the green background to create separation between the two.

     6.  Light the subject to eliminate shadows.

     7.  Shoot your footage and then load into your editing system for the background change.

Codes and conventions of music videos

Dancing is a code and convention of music videos because it happens over and over again it is a recurring code and convention it appears in almost every music video. examples of music videos which have dancing in them are jason Derulos "it girl", ushers "OMG" , Ne-Yo "beautiful monster". almost every music artist has dancing in there videos.

narrative is a code and convention of music videos because most music videos tell a story about what is going on? and what is happening?. this is also a recurring code and convention because it is seen over and over again in pretty much every music video. an example of a narrative music video is ushers "confessions part 2", adele's "someone like you", beyonces "if i were a boy."

Performing is a code and convention of music videos because a lot of videos have an artist performing and dancing to his\her song. performance video is a code and convention because it is seen in most music videos. An example of a performance video is pit bull's song "give me everything tonight". Ushers DJ'S got us falling in love again, jason derulos "don.t wanna go home".

Image is a code and convention of music video because the way a certain artists dresses represents the genre of there music video or the location or setting that also represents the genre of there music video. for example an artist is making an r&b and grime type song the setting would be likely to be a ally way and the clothes that what be worn would be a tracksuit, trainers and a hat which would fit in well with the image of the song.

Camera shots are code and convention in music videos because they are used over and over again in every music video. This is to make the music video interesting to watch and all these shots emphasise the artist, location and setting. 

anthony's clothing that is going to be worn in our music video

The reason why we chose these clothes to be in our video is that they represent the hip hop image and it goes with our target audience which is teenagers. also these particular clothes go well with our song because it is an r&b, hip hop and grime type of song so the clothes fit in well with the music. 

Pictures Of Locations

We chose the music studio to film a part of our music video because it fits in well with the music video and because music studios in music videos are used quite often. We chose the allyway in to town as one of our locations because it goes well with the song and it goes well with the r&b and hip hop type image. also it has graffiti on the wall which makes it suit our image. most of our video will be recorded in this ally way. Also we will be recording a part of our music video on a green screen which will project an image of new york city. we used the hallway seating area to film a part of our video because it seemed perfect to film our little shot there. we used the media classroom to film a part of our video because there is a lot of space to film there.
