Final Music Video

Here is my final music video!

Final Digipak design

After doing much work on my Digipak, here is the outcome of what I made.

Feedback for First Edit

In this post is the feedback that I received for my first edit of my music video.  Firstly here is my music video that I showed to my class and my media teacher.

Music Video Feedback

Good Points:

• Good use of continuous shots
• Good repetition
• Good density 
• Good adding of other visuals
• Good foreground/background
• Good that all characters did not show their own identity by using masks

Constructive Feedback

• Green Screen - could of had something projected onto it
• The use of the Muppet's could be seen as copyright as it belongs to Disney

I will into consideration these points for my next edit.

Initial Digipak

Here is a sketched out version of my digipak idea.

Digipak First by Isaac Trophies Harvey

For my digipak I decided to base it around the idea of dance. So I thought that throughout the digipak I would make it as if the audience was going through a nightclub e.g. front cover would be the entrance and the back being the exit. By doing this it will make it more interesting to look at as their will be many different colours and lights to look at. 

Music Video Concept Planning

In media we had the chance to give our music video ideas to our peers to give us feedback.This was my first/second idea that I shared.  Here is the concept that I showed to my peers.

My Concept:
My music video would be a first person view of someone going to a club. The surroundings will be sped up and the person will be walking normally. In certain parts of the video it will switch over. In the club people will be dancing and having a good time. At the bar people will be served what looks like potions in experimental bottles.

The questions that were asked to gain feedback were; What would you add? What would you change? And Why? Here are the different types of feedback I received.

Feedback 1
Maybe include a narrative/storyline? There could be scenes before and after the club as well as cutaway shots of a narrative which includes the 'potions'? By doing this it could make the video more visually interesting and give the viewer more to think about. If you have a message you want them to go away with then this will help strengthen it.

Feedback 2
Will the someone be a male or female? Why would the surrounding be sped up? Is this to make the audience feel as if the person is drunk? Also try and add a narrative so that the music has purpose.

Feedback 3
If it's just set in a club, would you consider to have some scenes like before arriving and leaving the club outside so it's like reality is outside and you see him walking into a different dimension/world. I feel one location for a whole music video would be boring and not very inventive to be honest. But I love the whole idea.

Feedback 4
Maybe manipulating the general perception of what a club is meant to be like as you have mentioned potions, maybe make them of club science. I would change the first persons view as this is not generally a good start, maybe over the shoulder shot or just the back.

Progression of Music Video Idea

These are some of the ideas I have thought of after working on my initial idea.

Getting to the club
For my music video, it will be a person and their friends going through the streets of London going to a nightclub. To make it different it will be in first person to create enigmas for the audience when they watch it.

When the person is travelling through London, surroundings will be going faster than normal.

When they arrive at the nightclub music shall stop. Then the audience will hear the nightclub entrance door creaking open and people talking. Music will fade in the background as the person gets closer  to the inside. The music will start again loudly.

I was thinking about a location similar to the picture below.



Club scene

Inside the club the person would look around seeing other people paroding/replicating other music videos. At the bar they will be serving drinks which look like experiments to fit in with the experimental genre. Also, I would be adding other scenes from films and video games. This will allow me to have intertextuality in my music video.
