Part two - my picture with analysis

  • This is an eye level three quarter shot of a Caucasian teenage female. I chose to her an eye level shot in order to show that she does not want to create a distance between herself and her audience.
  • She is holding a guitar which denotes that she possesses a musical talent and creates acoustic music.
  • She is wearing a white crop top with a bomber jacket with black leggings. These are articles of clothing that teenage/ young adult females typically wear suggesting that she conforms to certain stereotypes and directs her music at a young age demographic.
  •  The difference of saturation from the sky and the ground suggests that she may have a conflicting nature and indicates that she harbours powerful yet contrasting emotions which may be reflected in the music she makes.
  • The fact that she stands alone gives the impression that she is an independent woman with a message.  
  • She is not giving direct contact to the camera  and there is a shadow cast on her face which demonstrates that she conveys a sense of mystery and suggests that she may have a deep or dark personality which she may discuss in her music.
  • The barren setting also suggests an emptiness in her life which suggests that something horrible may have happened to her in her past which has led to her living an independent life.
  • I decided to keep the make up of the female minimal in order to showcase her natural beauty.

Analysis of Summertime Sadness

Image
Song: Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Rey The song 'Summertime Sadness' is one of the singles released from Lana Del Rey's second studio album 'Born To Die'. Here I will use Goodwin and Vernallis to analyse this song and its conventions. Goodwin The visuals appear to be illustrating/amplifying the lyrics - during the lyrics 'Tonight I wore a red / Dancing in the moonlight pale / The beauty queen hair style / Remove heels, you feel like reborn', the visuals show the actress wearing a red dress, throwing herself down from a high bridge. The lyrics of the song of the song, which are quite dreary and dark, reflects a dim and sad mood and atmosphere. Whilst most the lyrics are not mirrored through the visuals, some are such as the shot of the singer with the shadow of a telephone wire during the lyric 'Telephone wires above' Cinematography - the camera used has significant impact. They appear to have used either a super 8 camera or a grain fil...

NEA- Music Video Research- analysing lyrics

Ed Sheeran- Afire Love Things were all good yesterday And then the devil took your memory And if you fell to your death today I hope that heaven is your resting place I heard the doctors put your chest in pain But then that could have been the medicine And now you're lying in the bed again Either way I'll cry with the rest of them Idea 1- Scene starts of with the backs of an older couple sitting down in chairs. In between them is a table with a photo frame on it. A guitar will also be in the frame somewhere. During these lyrics I would have close ups of the artist singing. If he is wearing a shirt or blazer, there will be a rose in his pocket and I will take a close up of it. The artist will also be playing an instrument, either a keyboard or piano and I will take tracking shots and close ups of him playing them. Idea 2- Starts off with a medium shot of an older couple sitting down. One of them presses play on a CD/ cassette player (close up) and c...

NEA Music Video Research- record labels

Image
The brief for this task asks for the artist to be under an established label such as Columbia or Parlophone that is owned by a large conglomerate that targets a mainstream audience of 30-49 year olds. For my research, I have decided to do some research about Warner Music Group, its owner and its subsidiaries. Warner Music Group is an American multinational entertainment and record label conglomerate and is one of the biggest recording companies, the third largest one in the global music industry after Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. Warner Music Group has many subsidiaries including Atlantic Records and Parlophone. The following lists are some of Warner Music Group's subsidiaries and some artists under those labels. Atlantic Records- tends to have quite a few artists whose music are of different genres. Examples include Ed Sheeran, Alec Benjamin, Broods, Gnash, Goody Grace Grouplove and many more. These artists and their genres range from pop music t...
