Special effects:

Potential problems and how you’re going to overcome them: 

During this shot we have to pan the camera around to show the conversation between the girls and their reactions to what is going on. This is difficult because once the camera is being held by myself or Luke, it shakes and we need the camera to show a smooth pan as they converse. How we plan to overcome this is by placing the camera in the middle on something that is moves in a circular motion, whilst propping it up so it is able to view the girls as they speak.

Potential problems and how you’re going to overcome them:

In this scene they have to show themselves in love and that can be hard to portray on to camera, especially because the actors don't have that relationship off camera. How we can overcome this issue is by doing the scene of camera a couple times, so that they become comfortable.

Potential problems and how you’re going to overcome them:
In this scene of the music video the actress on screen is crying and is distressed about her breakup, without being able to speak she has to be able to play this role convincingly. Its hard to be able to portray these emotions and the way we plan to overcome this issue is by having the actress look at a significant amount of scenes where these emotions are portrayed and have her copy them.

Animatic

In class we have managed to create am animatic for our music video to Jhene Aiko's Comfort Inn Ending. Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1w_-C7I0ys

Our classmates watched our animatics and gave us feedback on what they thought of it:

Feedback:

www (what went well)

• It told a clear story 
• The pictures matched the song
• We used a good amount of pictures to tell the story 
• It was easy to understand
• The scenes were realistic 

ebi (what went well)

• Try to match the pictures pace to the song
• Draw darker lines on the pictures because some were unclear

Music Video Pitch

In class we created a Presentation to talk about our ideas for for the music video, for each slide we recived feedback that we will take into consideration when filming our music video.

Dear Copyright Holder

I am an A level student and I am writing this letter to ask for your permission to use a song for my music video which I will be creating for my practical work in Media Studies. The song that I will be using for my project will be ‘Comfort Inn Ending.’

I can assure you that the music video will only be shown to my Media Studies class, my teacher and the OCR exam board. Your company and the artist herself will have an opportunity to view the final video if you wish.

If possible, could you please send me a written copyright notice to be included in my coursework portfolio?

Yours faithfully,

Kristal Bernard

R&B Research

Contemporary R&B, also known as simply R&B, is a music genre that combines elements of rhythm and blues, fuck, pop, hip hop and dance.

 

Beyonce a well known R&B artists in her video 'Best Thing I Never Had' has the setting of a a dressing room. I don't think that R&B has a specific setting but it seems to be in private places not always known places. she continues the video to a wedding scene after walking around the scenery she tells the story of her wedding day while reminiscing about her previous relationship and how unhappy she was in contrast to her now.

in this music video 'work'  the artist  is in various different  locations but the main focus is on her throughout.  her costume and make suit the definition of a diva , R&B female artists tend to have  an outrageous outfit that can't be found elsewhere, although that can be any celebrity R&B have been known for their outfits on women. Iggy tell the story of how she's made it by working hard by actually displaying the different places she was in her life. while very shocking it is still admiring to see that she has made it so far from where she started. R&B videos are all about telling the story in videos and that's definitely what she's done.

Maria's Carey along with  Beyoncé have been  famous for a long period of time and  in one of her back in the day music videos "obsessed" is in what looks to be her many ion while all attention again is on her. we outfits are very revealing as she proceeds to sing about how obsessed  a certain person is as it says in the title.

In all these videos the similarities are the lack of clothes and the sexual behaviour. In media there is something called the male gaze and this is where the subject on camera typically a female behaves as if shes pleasing the eyes of the male viewers. This is what i see in these videos. There is a massive contradiction in what they are saying and what they are doing, the lyrics promote female power and independence but the respect that would have been given leaves when they dress and behave as they do.
