Planning Sound (32)

Diegetic sound is sound in which the source is visible on screen or shown to be present by the action of the film. This can be through voices of characters or sounds made by objects in the film. 

In my music video I don't plan on using any diegetic sound as I want the focus of my video to be on the connection between the song and its lyrics to the narrative of my video. I don't plan to include any dialogue in my video which would rule out the use of diegetic sounds from the character and I feel any diegetic sound from the locations would just break apart the narrative. However I do feel there are two places in which diegetic sound could be appropriate and therefore when I edit my music video I may play about and see if the diegetic sound fits there. The first place would be at the very beginning of the music video where I will display the title. Here I will have an establishing shot of the beach as that'll be my very first location. I could include diegetic sound of waves crashing on the beach to show the relaxing atmosphere before going into the song and the rest of the music video. This I fell will help start the music video and give the right atmosphere I wish to create from the beginning. The second place that I could include diegetic sound is when the police knock at the door. I feel that this is a very important moment in the narrative of the video and having the knocking at the door so prominent in the video will help to emphasis the seriousness and tension of that moment. 

 Foley sound is the sound effects that are added to a film during post production to enhance audio quality. This can be things like footsteps and breaking glass etc.

Again I don't plan on using any foley sound in my music video for the same reason I don't plan on using any diegetic sound. However if I did plan to add sound in the two places I talked about before, then I may use foley sound as apposed to diegetic sound. It would probably be a lot easier to put the sound for those two places in my music video in the post production rather than in the production. By adding the sound that way I can ensure that I get the exact sound that I want and I don't have to worry about any other background sound. 

 For my music video I plan on using no lip syncing. This is due to the fact that I want to create this emotional video and I feel that including lip syncing and cutting away from the narrative to the 'singer' would take away from the whole tone and atmosphere of the music video and the song. Diegetic sound and foley sound I feel would be less intrusive and so i wouldn't mind including them in my video, but lip syncing I feel would just take away from the whole feel I wish to create with this video.

Audience Research (23)

What are you trying to find out in your research? In my research I am trying to discover many things which will help me in developing my A2 coursework. The main thing I am trying to discover is whether people still consume music videos and what the age range is of people who consume them. I am also trying to discover what other media products people consume and if they think that my idea for a music video is a good one or if i should change elements of it.  When conducting my research I went out into Wymondham town to ask people the questions as apposed to just asking people in the sixth-from. There are many strengths to doing this, the main being that it gives me more reliable data. In the sixth-form there are only students and teacher so just asking them my research questions limits the demographic response of my data to just students and teachers. By going out and conducting my research in Wymondham town it gives me a wider range of different people and thus widens my demo...

Practise task explained (1)

Image
Me and Rosie were randomly given a question and a nursery rhyme which we could use as a stimulus to create our music video. The question we were given was Should I get a tattoo? and the nursery rhyme we were given was Jack and Jill . These were the two points that we could use to help create a music video, and we could choose to incorporate either both or one into our video. Our initial ideas for this task is to use the nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill as a stimulus for our music video as there seems to be more directions we could go with this than with the question Should I get a tattoo ?  Jack and Jill lyrics   J ack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after. Up got Jack, and home did trot As fast as he could caper He went to bed and bound his head With vinegar and brown paper. After looking up the complete lyrics for the nursery rhyme i decided to do some research into the meaning be...

Evaluation question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks? In my personal opinion I feel that the combination between my video and ancillary tasks are very effective. Within all three of the products I incorporated the same photographs so that the synergy between the products were clear. One of the main elements of my music video was the father looking back at the good memories with his daughter through photographs which were hanging up in her room. Because of how important the photos were in the video I felt that it was vital to incorporate them into the ancillary tasks as well. Typically within solo music videos the focus is on the artist and this is then incorporated onto the cover of the digipack and album release poster too. However, due to me challenging this typical convention I had to use a different theme to link all my products together to create synergy, which is where the link between the photographs came in. When first looking at the title of my alb...
