Response To Survey Results

After analysing my survey results, I decided to look into the suggestions of my respondents because these would be the sorts of people I would be aiming my music video at.



In this music video, to create the storyline which the respondent is interested in, the story is kept going instead of repeating the same scenes. This gives the video a narrative. For example, a number of different shots are used to create variation and within each shot is a new narrative scene. Certain scenes are repeated to create emphisis on that scene, however, the story in general does continue to change. In addition, scenes of the band playing their song are used to relate the video back to the band so that there is an almost equal focus on both the narrative on the band.




Similar to the last music video, the kind of music video that the respondent is interested in has a narrative. However, unlike the last video, this one relies on changing shots/camera angles to create a video which is not heavily repeated. This also gives the impression of there being a narrative because the shots make an unchanging location appear as though it is changing and as though a lot more is happening than there actually is. Because my music video will be based in the same location throughout, it will be important that I also have varying shots/camera angles so that my video does not appear heavily repeated.




While analysing the previous videos for their narrative quality, I noticed that scenes of band performance were also an important aspect and so I decided to analyse a performance video to give me a better idea of what sorts of things are included when filming a performance scene. In this video, The Robelets by Japanese band The Bohemians, the focus is not only to show the band's musical talent but could also be said to be to show each member's personality. For example, there are multiple close up shots which show the lead singer's upbeat personality through his excited facial expressions, in addition, long shots are used to show the ways in which the singer dances while singing, this creates an impression that he is an upbeat and somewhat excited person. On the other hand, the bass player (shown on the left) appears to have a far more serious personality as there are multiple close up shots of him using very serious facial expressions which contrast that of the lead singer, this might have been done to draw attention to the lead singer and market his personality over the other band members.
