Getting to know the mark scheme




  • Performance shots in this music video were strong and were typical of those found in music video (close-ups of the instruments and the band members)
  • There was also a narrative element to the video
  • The first shot had a good composition with the song title layer over the top
  • One of the down sides was that there was a little bit of camera shake on some of the shots
  • Colour grading could also have been used to give it more of a conventional look
Using the mark scheme I would have given this music video 32





  • The use of a black and white colour grading in the reverse shot of the photo being effectively un-burnt was visually interesting and creative
  • It includes some convention of the genre. For example playing guitar in a countryside location
  • The video focused on the artist quite a bit, and that is typical of a music video, but it does get repetitive after a while. 
  • The shots are a little limited and do have a few exposure issues

Using the mark scheme I would have given this music video 25


  • The shots in this music video had interesting compositions and were varied throughout
  • I particularly liked the silhouette shot, as it was very effective and used well
  • There were a few focus issues 
  • There wasn't a particular plot to the music video, while it was different and interesting, it was perhaps loosing momentum about half way through
I would have given this music video 30

Initial Music Video ideas

I've started thinking about which songs that I can do for the music video task. I was think about She's Lost Control by Joy Division because I could imagine a narrative following a person that was lost control of their life. However I'm quite reluctant to make a music video for this song, even though it hasn't got one already, it's still quite a famous song and band, therefore I couldn't include a band in video and I like to idea of having both a narrative and performance video in one. Another song idea I had was Moaning Lisa Smile by Wolf Alice, I had a few ideas about this song but there is already a music video to it. She's Hearing Voices by Bloc Party is another song I am considering, as the lyrics are interesting and have a possible reference to the Matrix, which means I can include intertextual references in my video. There is also no music video to this songs,which is good and a narrative/performance video could work with the track. Joy Division -...

Casting

There are four main roles to be filled in my music video; these being the protagonist, singer, drummer and bassist. The other minor roles are characters in the classroom scene who are part of the 'friend group'. So far I've got all the main roles filled and one minor role. For each of these roles I've given the actors an information pack with the filming dates, their characters roles, costume, and the outline for the music video.  Protagonist: The protagonist from 10woodre Drummer: The drummer from 10woodre Bassist: The bassist from 10woodre Singer: The singer from 10woodre Friend 1: The friend from 10woodre
