Song Choices

On this slide share it shows what two songs I chose that we could use or our music video. I picked these two songs because I thought they were fun and energetic and we could create a girly music video from them. On the next slide it shows what two songs we picked as out final two. One of these was my choice and the other choice was from Travis. We showed the class our class who helped us come to a decision.

Timeline and Music Videos

Audience and Audience

Why and how do you consume music?

I normally listen to music throughout the day while I'm working in and out of class as it helps me concentrate and at night when I'm doing things round the house or tidying my room. I have different playlists for different moods and different times of the day. I listen to music at school, at home, walking to and from somewhere and when I go to parties. I normally listen to music through my earphones but will always tell people new songs I like and they tell me theirs. When me and my mates go out we will always bring a speaker so we can sit somewhere and listen to music. I will listen to music from my phone as I can et any song I want. I will also listen to CDs when I am in the car or the radio.

Uses and gratifications theory

Examples:
Personal identification - when I used to get angry with my parents I used to blast songs that would express how I feel and that would make me feel better.
Information - sometimes you learn something from a song, Oliver Cromwell by Monty Python taught me some history.
Entertainment - Madonna and her dance moves.
Social interaction - songs my friends and I would always request and dace to when we went out.


Escapism -
Create mood (romance, upbeat) -
Cheer you up -
Get you in the mood to go out -
Add atmosphere to a gathering -
Help you sleep -
Distraction -
Companionship (driving, travelling) -

30 Second Breakdown













This wide shot shows the artist walking towards a big house. it makes the audience think about who's house he walking towards.













In this shot it shows the artist waiting for the door to be opened to reveal the persons house. the artist has his back to the camera to show he isn't important anymore and that the person opening in the door is the important person.










 
 
 
 





This medium shot shows who he is talking to the way the camera is placed shows the height difference between them but because the camera is straight it shows they are both as important as each other.
 In this shot it shows the artist standing over the other person this shows that he is more important at the moment. the wide shot shows the design of the house and how it fits with her age.














In this shot it shows his grandma in a close up shot this shows she is important to him and is important in the meaning of the music video.













In this shot it shows his grandma in the centre of the shot this also shows us she is the main meaning and person in this video.













In this shot you can see both of them again. This shot shows she is important because you can see her fully and he is in the corner which shows he is less important even though he is the artist. This music shows how important his grandma is to him.
