  I collaborated with my fellow media student Sinead, and we made a one minute music video to Olivia Rodrigo's Jealousy Jealousy.  We also made a 30 second recreation of Beyonce's music video Countdown. I also made a one minute music video to Duran Duran 'Girls on Film' , where I practiced lip syncing. 

  Establishing shot of gang and their dog, sets the scene that the music video is in a more low income, lower class area. Adds humour as the dog is wearing sunglasses.  Aerial shot of gang , graffiti behind them. Massive attack are a band from Bristol who often focus on poverty and areas affected as well as making political statements about the state of countries welfare and lack of a fair government.  One take, tracking shot. Introduced to female singer and lead in music video. Goes against the norm at the time as it wasn't common to see black females portrayed on screen without being sexualised or victimised.  People in background, father and son. Litter along the streets, shows poverty. Mid shot of singer, oblivious to the people around her. She is consumed by her sadness. or just used to her environment around her, climatized.  

       The establishing shot of the village immediately allows the audience to gather an idea of the focus of the music video, such as it centering around a medieval model village and there being a person in a position of power- aka the mayor. The medieval setting also alludes to how the videos main message is about the sanitisation of the past and people only remembering the good things in our history.  The next shot creates connotations of blood with red paint dripping out of the bucket, which juxtaposes the seemingly innocent task of the villager painting a postbox. This also foreshadows the end of the video where an attempted murder takes place. This is also the same paint used later in the video when painting an x on peoples doors, which links to the alienation of those who go against society such as those with the black plague or immigrants.  The first shot showing the red x being painted on the doors of peoples houses, insinuates the isolation of peo...

 1. Find a song and come up with a concept. 2. make website on wix, take pictures and create an artist. 3. lip sync work or recreate a band aesthetic  Potential songs to use; soft cell- tainted love feel the love-rudimental disclosure - you and me flume remix the killers- a white demon love song  tv girl - lovers rock love again - melt  Possible ideas- a girl falling in and out of love with herself, depict insecurities and show the message that we 'should love ourselves and our bodies'.

 Gorillaz- On Melancholy Hill This music video is interesting because its all animated which fits in with Gorillaz overall aesthetic as a 'virtual band' created by Damon Albarn. It comprises of four band members; Noodle, 2D, Murdoc and Hobbs. They all feature in this music video that begins with Noodle on a sinking ship, that resembles that of the Titanic, thus using intertextuality. Noodle then walks out with a gun and begins to fire. The rest of the music video then shows the band underwater- following the narrative of the story. One key thing about this music video is that it shows a full story and doesn't have any shots of the band just singing which is usually a key element in most music videos. It also links in with other music videos from songs on Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach. that this song features on. Therefore it stands out due to its editing style and focal point.  Lana Del Rey- Video Games This music video is one of my favourites because Lana shot and edited i...
