This image shows a shot from the video 'Don't Let Me Get Me' by Pink. We chosen this shot to present lyrics relating the video because this shot that we found is almost exactly the same as the lyrics spoken at the same time. She says "my socks are never clean" and then she sniffs her socks, implying that they stink.
This was a lot different with our video because we didn't choose to show the lyrics as litterally as that so we chose to show them in her face emotions, if anything at all.
2. a shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artist to be represented
This image above we have chosen because it gives an obvious image of how the artist and the company wanted to represent her. This is a pop singer, female idol and a male interest so this is dramatically displayed within the video by the costumes she chooses to wear.
However, with our artist, she is also a solo singer but because of her genre, which is soft acoutic, she is represented as almost a soft rock chick.
3. a shot that illustrates how your video uses music genre
This image above displays the genre of the video, which in this case is heavy rock. It is shown by the huge crowd in the background, head banging with the band.
With our video is was quite easy to display which genre we were trying to get across. This was because we had her playing an acoustic guitar for a live performance and this straight away gives the genre of the music.
4. a shot that shows an intertextual reference
This shot shows an inter-textual reference. This reference specifically relates with our video because we decided to use a shot just like this, of our artist singing to herself. We got our idea from this video and the hourglass images.
5. a shot that demonstrates your use of camera
This image shows use of the camera and we chose this shot specifically because the camera is showing the artist's hand holding notes on the guitar. We also chose to use a shot similar to this, it works really well and we found that a lot of videos use this.
6. a shot that demonstrates your use of lighting
This shot we have chosen to show use of lighting. The lights shine from behind her and light up the band within the room, it is also a good way to show up the graffiti on the walls. We used bright lights like these, however, they had a blue tint to them and we found that having them rotating made our footage a lot more interesting.
7. a shot that demonstrates your use of mise-en-scene
This image, we think, shows mise-en-scene quite well. This is because the it displays the majority of his costume, his prop and the scenery behind him. With our video, we paid a lot of attention to start of with, when it came to the artists costume and how we wanted her to be portrayed in the video.
We wanted her to wear her casual clothes but not be glamed up or wear a lot of merchandised clothes. In the end, she wore plain jeans, black and white shoes, a black top with little writing and a white jacket. As we had pretty much the same back ground for the majority of the video, we didn't feel the need to pay as much attention to it. However, we did make sure we had the lighting that we wanted and the right props.
8/9. Two shots which you feel demonstrate something which shows you have watched other music videos
