Production Diary
Monday 26th/ Tuesday 27th
Over these two days we discussed the music video that we wanted to replicate. By finding a good song it would mean we had better skills to prepare ourselves for the main course work ahead.
Finally we decided on the song Four, Five Seconds by Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney. we thought this would be a good choice as it meant all three of us could have an attempt at acting and find out what part of the production that we all enjoy most.
Wednesday 28th
We started to produce the shot plan and focused on when are where we could film them. This lead to us producing the filming timetable and we booked out the gym for Friday morning to make sure it would be available.
Thursday 29th
Pip completed the shot plan and we all made sure we were prepared with all of out props for the filming on Friday morning.
Friday 30th
Today was spent putting the clips together and seeing what worked and what didn't. The editing of the prelim is a very long process and therefore meant we spent Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th completing everything that needed to be adjusted.
Wednesday 5th
Finally the editing was complete and we could export it. We moved onto the paperwork of the project and made sure we had everything complete to guarantee the most marks possible.
Thursday 6Th
This was the due date of all of our research and prelim tasks so we spent it completing our evaluation and completing our checklists.

Dry The River - No Rest
We were given the task to listen to a piece of music and we had to write down what we would put in the music video.
- Man walking down the river playing a guitar
- Following a girl through her day
- Man playing guitar in field
- band playing in shots with a white background

Carol Vernallis' Theory
4 Key Concepts
- Narrative
- Editing
- Camera/Movement/Framing
- Diegesis
Narrative
- Doesn't need beginning, middle and end
- Partial, disjoined
Editing
- Brought to foreground
- Jump cuts, breaks the 30 degree rule
Camera/Movement/Framing
- Establishing shots frequently used throughout
- Medium and close up shots used throughout to establish the artist
- Master shot, establishing shot that keeps everyone in view
Diegesis
- Diegesis will be revelled quite slowly
- Repetition is key so you will be able to pick out the important shots

Goodwin Theory
Andrew Goodwin Music Video Theory
Conventions
1. Relationship between the lyrics and the visuals
This convention explains how Goodwin noticed a music videos visuals either had a complete similarity or direct contrast to the lyrics of the songs.
2. Thought beats - relationship between the music and the visuals
Goodwin identified that the visuals within a music video may be edited in time to the lyrics/change in pace of the song. He also stated that these visuals are commonly repeated within a chorus to emphasise the repetition in lyrics and beats.
3. Genre- related style and iconography
Goodwin recognised that most artists have a trend of repeating certain actions within their music videos in order to establish this as their 'trademark' action and therefore making their songs recognisable due to it reoccurring often.
4. Multiple close-ups o the main artist or vocalist
Goodwin identified that it is a common feature for record labels to use close ups of the artist/vocalist in order to promote the sales in the single.
5. Voyeurism often plays a major part (especially females)
Goodwin recognised that many music videos included voyeuristic angles of women in order to entice a male audiences interest in the artist and also the lyrics to which these shots represent.
6. Intertextual references to other media texts may be present (especially in humorous videos)
Goowin recognised that I was no uncommon to recognise either the visuals or lyrics of a song to be a direct reference to another media text.
