^ this rush video is supposed to run at a length of 12:19. However, for unknown reasons, YouTube keeeps truncating it to 9:53 each time I attempt to upload it.

Music videos in theory

Many music videos have a narrative. Sometimes it can be somewhat loose (abstract). Other music videos may be entirely performance. Theorist Tzvetan Todorov looked at narrative and discussed the following structure:
Stage 1: Stable equilibrium - everything is satisfied, calm and normal
Stage 2: Disruption - some kind of force created disequilibrium
Stage 3: Recognition - the main protagonists realise a disruption has happened
Stage 4: Conflict - the action taken against the disruption - re-creation of equilibrium
Stage 5: Restoration / re-equilibrium - consequences of reaction = to change the world of narrative and/or characters so the final equilibrium isn't the same as it initially was.

I believe the narrative in my video is somewhat loose. It shows the performer waking up from a sleep, going on a thieving rampage, and falling asleep again. It could be played in a loop and it could still make narrative sense. When the performer awakes he begins to disrupt the equilibrium, and only after he has gone into a sleep again do we assume the equilibrium is being restored, only for him to tarnish it again when he awakes.

Magazine cover research (LIIAR)

Although I am producing a magazine ADVERTISEMENT and not a cover, I feel that I could still use some of these conventions to produce an effective advertisement.

Cover #1

Language - The photograph used on this cover is a close up of musician Corey Taylor, whose face is concealed by the mask that he wears when playing with the band Slipknot, which this issue has an article about. Due to the mask, we cannot tell what his facial expression is, although it may not be seen as necessary. The mask can easily identify him as being a member of Slipknot.

The band's logo is positioned near the bottom left corner of the splash, with a quotation appearing below it which says "Somebody's gonna get killed...". The positioning of these two pieces of text tells us that the quotation has been taken directly from that band's article. Due to its already violent sounding nature, it catches the attention of the reader and makes him/her want to read on by finding the full article. 

There is also a usage of Flash on the top right corner of the page. "Cover #8 of 9!". There were nine musicians in the band at the time of release, so we can find out already that the other 8 covers will feature close up photos of each of the other 8 members. This is a good way to promote the issue and also the band, as die-hard fans of either Kerrang or Slipknot (or both) may want to try and collect all 9 covers to show their fandom, resulting in the attraction of more sales.

The colour scheme is mainly black and white, which helps to represent what the band members are like behind the masks, and the nature of Slipknot's music. (White connotates light, goodness, innocence and purity (The band without the trademark masks and overalls) whilst black connotates power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery (the band with masks and overalls))

Institution - I visited the website and noticed that there were stories on recent events on music such as Black Sabbath's reunion and Metallica's headlining at Download. I also noticed a small advertisement in the corner that read "Rock, goth, metal, punk, thrash, classic indie, unsigned bands... get it all continuously at Kerrang! Radio". This gives a more specific idea of what kind of music the magazine covers, also tells us that it believes in the promotion of unsigned bands, so that they will gain a fanbase to the point that they may become signed to a major label.

Ideology - The magazine promotes the belief that the music that it covers usually has the many feelings of purity, joy, energy, power, evil and mystery, as proved evident by the colour scheme used in the contents page.It also believes in the promotion of new, unsigned bands which will lead to them gaining a fanbase, as proven by the mention of "unsigned bands" on the magazine's official website.

Audience -Kerrang!'s publication media pack doesn't state a specific intended target audience based on age, but says that the mean age of their readers is relatively young, at the age of 22. The media pack goes on to say "Having a young profile is a big advantage as traditionally this age group is elusive (and expensive) to reach. As well as music releases this makes Kerrang! perfect for film and games, and also mobile technology and government messages. This achievement therefore allows them to expand their audience to enthusiasts of Film, gaming, and mobile phones, not only for the magazine, but also for their TV's music channel. 

Another notable statistic featured in the Media pack is the percentage of Kerrang! readers who buy every issue, which is 87%. This tells us that the magazine has a very loyal audience and will be guaranteed good sales with every issue they release. (the readership figure is 396,000)

Representation - The magazine will represent the band Slipknot as a band who plays dangerous, risky and heavy music, which may not be among the preferences of most who hear about them, but also a band to be admired by its fans and also fans of rock and metal in general for playing this kind of music.

Cover #2

Language - The photograph os a medium close-up of two musicians, who have supposedly recently formed a musical duo named "The Last Shadow Puppets". We can make this assumption as the magazine contains their "First major interview". The two musicians are back-to-back with each other and are dressed similarly, which could imply that they have a strong friendship (they have each other's backs). They have stereotypical 60s rock hairstyles, which could hint to the kind of music they write. In order to fit this 60s look, the photo is almost black and white, with the only hint of colour being their skin, but even that is made to look pale.

The magazine's masthead is placed in the top left side of the splash, as out of the way of the photo as possible. NME Stands for "New Musical Express". However, the "Express" is blocked out by the photo, almost as though the institution feels that the magazine has gained popularity to the extent that most people already know fully what it stands for. The colour scheme of the text is mainly red and black. Not only does it fit well with the masthead, but red can connotate passion, love, and perhaps even rebellion, whilst black can connotate power and dominance. The genres that the magazine covers are mainly Alt./Indie/Rock, so the rebellion connotation fits with these genres rather well.

Institution - I browsed the NME website, and looked through stories regarding Liam Gallagher's claims that his brother Noel is desperate for an Oasis reunion, whilst Noel has responded by saying he's "not desperate at all". I also caught sight of a story regarding Axl Rose's claims that former Guns N' Roses member Slash "used to piss his pants". This gives the impression that NME like to offer unusual kinds of stories full of odd claims and conflict that will catch the reader's eye.

Ideology - The magazine believes that musicians should think outside the box and not conform to what the music industry wants them to create. The magazine generally covers bands who are about starting a rebellion against the industry, producing highly experimental and sometimes controversial music, and doing things only for themselves. It also gives the message to their target audience that they should fight back against generic music with more creative bands and musicians.

Audience - According to the NME media pack, its target audience are men from the ages of 17 to 30. It also states that its readers are "entertainment enthusiasts". From this we can assume that this is the target audience that the magazine had always intended to seek out. Some statistics are also given:

"80% of NME readers feel that music is an important part of their lives

79% of NME readers like to listen to new bands

63% specially choose to listen to indie/guitar bands

49% specially choose to listen to live bands in studio

52% are interested in taking a musical course/qualification

36% are thinking of buying a musical instrument in the next year"

As stated above, NME wants it target audience to fight back against the music industry, and the statistics above show us that at least half of its readers are interested in doing precisely that, with the help of a musical qualification.

Representation - The magazine will represent its selected genres by stating that its bands are constantly bringing something new to music as a whole, and revolutionizing the industry. It aims to keep up to date with new bands who want to do this, therefore creating word-of-mouth among readers and their associates, helping to start said revolution.

Cover #3

Language - The photo is composed of full body shots of the members of the alternative rock band "Kings Of Leon". Their facial expressions show determination as they are kicking through a glass wall in front of them, therefore shattering it, and allowing them to pass through. This connotates that the band has had a "breakthrough" (a rise to fame) and have broken out of the area (lack of fame) they were once trapped in. With each member, it is evident that they have all simulteanously kicked it down together, and was therefore a group effort. This reflects the fact that the band members are all related to each other and also the group effort (song and/or album) that led to their rise to fame.

A heading appears on the left of the cover. The band's name is black, whilst the word "breakthrough" is pink. The black is used to connotate power, elegance and formality, whilst the colour pink (or purple) is used to connotate power, nobility, luxury, and ambition and also combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. This connotates that now the band have had their breakthrough, they have earned a new level of power, allowing them to break some of the boundaries they were trapped by before.

Institution -I visited the offical website for the magazine, and found that it covers a rather large variety of Genres that are in the mainstream, such as stories about Black Sabbath (a heavy metal band that gained fame in the early 70s and have recently reunited) and Eminem (a rapper who has a story about what life has been like for him since getting clean), although mainly Alternative. Other bands that are currently featured on the website's home page include Adele, You Me At Six, and Howler. The website has an extra temporary page that helps to celebrate the magazine's 25th anniversary of production. This is a useful method of attracting potential buyers as it usually means that the 25th anniversary issue will contain a larger amount of content, including reflection upon the past 25 years and the usual latest news.

Ideology -The magazine promotes the belief that the music which is in the mainstream at the current time is the most important to read upon, primarily Alternative. In the past, the magazine has covered bands and artistis such as Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Jay-Z, Metallica, Nirvana, The Prodigy and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and each seperate coverage has been during the peak of the band/artist's fame, which is useful as it will attract more buyers if it features the most talked about band/artist at the time on the cover.

Audience -The magazine is aimed towards a mature audience (People in their 30s/40s). Its founders didn't think there was a magazine for the older generation at the time who were still buying CDs. They wanted to launch the magazine for an audience that was more sophisticated and just wanted to know about the music itself. By launching Q, they helped to fill this gap in the market. Another stand out feature this magazine had was the use of high quality photos.

Representation -The featured band (Kings of Leon) is to be represented in the magazine as a unit whose members have always stuck together (even from childhood, due to the family element mentioned earlier) and also one of the many Alternative bands that the institution aims to cover. They represent the Alternative genre through connotations of rebellion, which is another way of viewing the cover image. The breaking of the glass could also connotate the breaking of rules.

Album cover ideas / research

Inventing a mascot character for my album cover is a possibility. Band mascots usually appear on many of their album covers, as well as their merchandise. The appearance of some of these mascots have evolved largely over time.

What can be observed?

It is clear from this cover that "Iron Maiden" is the name of the band, which is especially important to make clear for a debut album such as this one. The mascot also appears in full for the first time but also in arguably its most basic form. Fans of the band had only previously seen glimpses of the mascot on previously releases (promotional singles etc.) and so therefore awaited the full version of the same mascot.

The mascot itself is portrayed as being somewhat threatening. As well as appearing in a street during the night time where passer-bys are more vulnerable, hinting that he has bad intentions (his appearance during the night can also be likened to the presence of a vampire), his facial appearance is very monstrous, with green skin, a sinister, threatening expression and eyes, and hair that sicks out in all directions with colours that resemble fire, suggesting  his buring passion for evil.

In regards to the environment around him, it is also worth noting that there is a full moon, suggesting he has wolf-like features. These facial and environmental features all create a deliberately threatening image for the band.

The back cover is also very simple, with a plain blue background and the tracklisting for the album. The band's name and logo appear once again. This reinforces that it is a self-titled. The last song is also named after the band. The name is also references in its lyrics and has been a regular in the band's set-lists when they perform live.

The design of the disc is also very basic. The CD is a re-release as the album was originally recorded and finished in 1980, when vinyls were still the medium for album consumption. The album was reissued for this format by the record label, and the band presumably had no input on the album design. However, the album would be re-issued again in 1998 with additional artwork and photographs.

This is a piece of artwork consumers will find when they open the CD case. It shows photos of the band playing at live shows during the time this album was being made. They are used to promote the band and its image, as well as the typical response they receive from audiences when they play. It may also encourage fans who have bought the album to see the band live.

Band: Iron Maiden

Mascot name: Eddie the Head (or Eddie for short)

Example album art: Iron Maiden (self-titled) (1980)

Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie, has maintained a basic zombie like appearance, but has appeared in the band's artwork as a cyborg, an Egyptian mummy and a lobotomised mental patient amongst others. The appearance that the mascot adopts is based on the themes/title of the corresponding album.

 

  What can we observe?

The band's logo is positioned in the top centre of the cover, with the album title being placed below. It is important, therefore, that the title differentiates in font and/or size so that consumers can distinguish between the two. Although this band had already released three albums prior to this one, it is still vital that the artwork can attract new fans to their music. This turned out to be the band's breakthrough album and remains a fan favourite, as well as one of their highest selling albums.

Perhaps the cover assisted in part in making the album a success. The mascot we see on the cover (Vic Rattlehead) was also featured on the artwork for the album's two singles ("Holy Wars" and "Hangar 18") therefore promoting a distinguishable figure that will allow fans of the genre/band to tell that the singles and the album are all by the same band. The consistent blue/yellow colour scheme of the artwork also makes it visually appealing, as well as alluding to the themes/topics covered in the songs' lyrics.

 

The album's back cover continues the blue/yellow colour scheme featured in the artwork. It contains the tracklisting, an image of the band and the members' names, and a symbol that the band have used to associate with the album, which adds to the visual attraction that is a contributing factor to selling the album. The same symbol is featured on the disc's artwork. As for the track-listing, it is a conventional feature for a back cover of an album. Most fans prefer to buy an album after they have heard a song from the album, which is usually achieved through the release of singles prior to the album's release, which provides a taster to what the listener should expect on the rest of the album, and generates hype so that a high number of copies will be sold in the first week. The track-listing allows the fan to confirm that the song(s) they have heard are featured on the album they are buying.

As for the photo of the band, although some fans may have already been familiar with the band's music before this album, the line-up had changed since the last album was released. Therefore, the back cover introduces the two new members that joined before the album was made (drummer Nick Menza and guitarist Marty Friedman) as well as establishing the band in general and their image to new fans.

The disc artwork maintains the consistency of the artwork by featuring the same symbol as seen on the back cover, as well as the same yellow colour scheme.

The artwork for the inside cover is similar to that of the front cover, and shows the same area as seen on the front cover, but mainly serves to maintain the consistency of the artwork. Credits are given to the band members as well as the other people who worked on the album's creation.

Band: Megadeth

Mascot name: Vic Rattlehead

Example album artwork: Rust In Peace (1990) 

What can be observed?

This album cover is the band's third to feature their mascot, "The Guy" and their fifth album overall. The first album to feature the mascot on the cover "Ten Thousand Fists" depicted the character surrounded by a large crowd of people raising their fists up in the air. This suggests an act of empowerment, which is a theme covered in many of the album's songs. The next album "Indestructible" shows the character walking through fire with a brave smile, and again has songs that serve to empower the listener and boost their morale, but also covers darker themes that the listener could relate to. This album cover shows the character breaking from chains, and is suited to the album title as he is possibly breaking out of an asylum. In general, it can be said that whilst the character has a monstrous appearance, which is conventional of a heavy metal mascot, he is portrayed as a strong character that is able to conquer any obstacle. Whether this is for good or bad intentions is left ambiguous. The listener's own interpretation of the mascot may determine how they react to the band's music.

 

The back cover has a relatively simple design, featuring the track listing, the band name and album title that carries on the colour scheme of the album's artwork (black). This cover suggests a dark time during one's life; they are perhaps facing the biggest obstacle they have ever come across and are trying to overcome it. It can also be interpreted as a criminal breaking free from jail to wreak havoc. The songs cover dark themes and the artwork serves to set this particular mood.

Like the back cover, the CD design is very simple and once again features the album's track list. This is done to keep the artwork simple yet effective.

The inside cover bears much significance to a drawing found on parts of the artwork of the band's first album, "The Sickness", which the band's mascot would eventually derive from. This is possibly to support the album's darker themes compared to previous albums.

The inlay cover is the piece of artwork that appears behind the disc on albums released in transparent CD cases. Inlay covers, such as this one, are usually very simple and serve mainly to maintain the colour scheme.

Band: Disturbed

Mascot name: The Guy

Example album artwork: Rust In Peace (2010)

This is the band's first album to be released on a major label. It is also the first album to feature this mascot on its artwork. The previous two albums featured the band members on the front covers and were released Japan only. Therefore, this is the first time the band was promoted internationally and therefore the decision was made to create something eye catching to attract audiences. The title "Metal health" is a possible play on the term "mental health" which the front cover, depicting the mascot (a man with a metal mask) dressed in a stereotypical costume for a mental patient would support.

The inclusion of the band members on the back cover helped to promote the band internationally for the first time. In addition to this, the songs are listed next to the images, with specific writing credits given for each song. Therefore, it allows each member to gain recognition for their own songwriting contributions.

The design of the disc is very basic. The CD is a re-release as the album was originally recorded and finished in 1983, when vinyls were still the medium for album consumption. The album was reissued for this format by the record label, and the band presumably had no input on the album design.

Band: Quiet Riot

Mascot name: un-named

Example album artwork: Metal Health (1983)

SHOOTING NOTICES/CANCELLATIONS

21/11/12
I have filmed what I consider test shots, but could possibly be used in the final video. These shots feature no actors and are mostly close ups of valuables e.g. wallets and iPods, but also a shot of a coat with inside out pockets and a zoom in of a wardrobe, supposedly with valuables inside.

25/11/12 - HOUSE SHOTS REQUIRING ACTORS - CANCELLATION
Unfortunately I have had to cancel this filming session, as my main actor, Dan, was unable to attend it due to illness, and Ryan (supporting actor, victim) had other planned arrangements he needed to attend.

28/11/12 - COLLEGE GREEN SCREEN ROOM SHOTS - CANCELLATION
Unfortunately Dan has ran into personal issues, and we cannot film today either. As of 3rd December we have been discussing the next possible filming date.

These cancellations have been very unfortunate, as I have a first draft deadline coming up and do not have much footage as of yet.

During January, I found it difficult to find the time to work on my music video, as I was very busy filming for my Film Studies sequence as well as revising for exams for other subjects. I decided that once the exams had finished I would make further progress on my video.

06/02/13 - MORE COLLEGE GREEN SCREEN ROOM SHOTS - CANCELLATION
Unfortunately Dan has much work to catch up with and cannot shoot today. However, he should be able to finish his work by tomorrow and we will do some filming then.

Shooting Schedule

HOUSE SHOTS NOT REQUIRING ACTORS - 21/11/12 (shots 19, 38, 46, 55, 72 filmed)

LYRIC SHOTS - 06/03/13 (filmed)

Locations

* My house
I will need to do some shots for the video in a victim's house, and I've decided that my house would suit this well. I believe it is well decorated and full of valuable items, which could make it an attraction to a thief.

* Green-screen room in college
I envision that some shots, such as those that require lip-syncing, should be shot in a dark room, you can change the lighting in the room so that it is dark, but I will attempt to ensure that there is a light that will shine on the singer, so that although the room is supposed to be dark, we are focusing solely on the singer.
* Street areas
There are shots in which the singer stalks the streets for somewhere to carry out a robbery. I will use the street areas around either my house or the area around my college. I believe the latter would be the most suitable location, as there are some shops as well as houses nearby. Shops include Tesco Express and Sainsburys, as well as a pizza takeaway. Although it is not a busy shopping centre, I don't consider it a problem as the character being portrayed in the song is supposedly obsessed with stealing everything and anything, not just valuable items, which is a more conventional portrayal of a thief. In my music video, I am therefore challenging these conventions.

Cast list

Dan Troupe - singer, main role in music video

I chose Dan as he is a media student, which allows me to get constructive criticism in regards to my script and storyboard. I can openly talk to him and I've known him since high school. He doesn't live far away therefore making it fairly easy to shoot.



Extras:
TBC - As of March 3rd, 2013, I am trying to figure out how to bring in an additional actor/actress for my music video. I originally planned to have my friend Ryan as an extra, but due to his very busy schedule this looks unlikely. It is possible I will use an actress named Alex.

Potential Hazards

I produced this table to keep in mind the potential hazards that may occur during filming. I will prepare my locations prior to filming to try to avoid these hazards.

Relationship between my song and the visuals in my video

Relationship between lyrics and visuals:
The visuals in my music video will often complement the lyrics of the song, and the mise en scene of particular shots will often reflect the lyrics as we hear them. For example, during lyrics such as "Force of habit is the problem that I've got" and "I admit, I know I've got a problem", we will see mocked up paperwork that details "force of habit" as a kind of disease that is incurable. This makes the subject matter of the song seem more realistic and possibly frightening to those outside of the target audience group.

The performance of the singer, more specifically, the facial expressions, will also complement the lyrics. The actor will portray the persona he is singing about through these facial expressions. This primarily includes manic smiles and laughter whilst lip syncing to some of the lyrics.

Relationship between music and visuals:
The song is in a mid-paced tempo, which means some of the shots will flow in a reasonably slow pace. Parts of the song that feature guitar solos will have faster-paced, more action packed shots to complement them. I will have what I like to refer to as "mini-montages" that will feature a series of shots that play in a short space of time (around 3-5 seconds) that follow a particular theme in terms of, for example, mise-en-scene. One "mini-montage" I plan to use in my music video is one that shows many valuable items such as wallets and iPods, to imply that the singer has managed to steal them all in one fell swoop. This reflects the danger of the character being portrayed in the song and, most importantly, in my video, as it is up to me how I aim to portray him.

Close up of the singer:
Most of the shots that contain lip syncing will show a close up of the singer in a room that is otherwise dark, so the focus is fully on the singer. It is important for many music listeners to know who the performer of the song is, or if the song is a band effort, it's important to at least know what the singer looks like, although especially in rock and metal music videos, fans may want to know who the guitarists, bassists and drummers are too, as songs such as "Sweet Child O Mine" by Guns N Roses feature acclaimed guitar solos. However, many rock/metal videos such as mine still solely focus on the singer.

Performance, concept or narrative?
The music video will mix both performance and narrative. I feel that the narrative is somewhat loose but still present. The story doesn't really fit into a traditional structure (equillibrium, disruption, quest, resolution/re-equillibrium). The music video begins with the singer awakening from a sleep, opening his eyes and pulling a sinister smile, all in jump cuts. The music video will end on these shots in a reverse order, to show that his activities have come to an end, temporarily. To me, it gives the idea that he is stolen all there is to steal, and has therefore "gone into hibernation" so to speak, until some time has passed and he is able to wreak havoc again. Therefore, if the viewer was to re-watch the music video straight away, it would resemble his re-awakening after some time has passed, so the video can therefore be watched on a loop and it would show a continuting narrative.

Use of own camera

While the majority of students are booking cameras belonging to the college, I am intending to use a camera that my father gave to me recently. He has also given me a tripod to use. I have took the camera in to the college to make sure it will be okay for me to use for my coursework. The technician approved it, which I am grateful for as it will save me the stress of trying to book out cameras multiple times, as there are a limited number of cameras in the college so I wouldn't be able to guarantee that I would be in possession of a camera during the days I intend to shoot any footage.

The tripod I own has a leg supporter missing. However, I don't feel that this hinders its performance. I also feel that it's easier to create a smooth camera movement on my tripod than on the tripods provided by college.

The model of the camera I am using is JVC Everio GZ-MG77 HDD. The make of my tripod is Miranda.

My audience

Storyboard animatic

Software used - Windows Movie Maker

Whilst other students used Adobe Premiere Pro, I decided instead to go with Windows Movie Maker, seeing as I didn't have Adobe at home and would be able to work on it outside of college, and in the comforts of my home.

The benefits to using Windows Movie Maker are that it only took me an hour to import the frames, piece them together, alter the timings to fit, and export it. And if I ever needed to take a break. I could go back to it whenever I wanted, whereas people using Adobe would need to wait until they next had a study period in college, therefore it will take them longer overall to prepare the animatic.

The drawbacks to using Movie Maker is that the program crashed on me a number of times. However, I was aware of the risk of it crashing and losing all my work before I started creating my animatic, so in the settings I proceeded to change AutoSave so that it would save my work every minute so if the program was to crash after a long time of hard work, I would have all or most of the work intact when re-opening.

Before I scanned in my storyboard, I made sure to draw over my pictures to maintain their visibility after it scanned in. I used EPSON Scan to scan everything in. I used the snipping tool on Windows to crop the computer screen so that each would show only the drawings. I did begin using Adobe Photoshop CS5 to do this, using cropping tools within the software, but I found this to be a long, tiring process, and only managed to take 10-15 frames before a fellow Media student suggested that I use the snipping tool instead, which turned out to be much quicker.

Since my drawings are of a poor standard, I added in arrows and captions to make it easier to understand my drawings and what I intend to do with my video for my viewer.
