Final Song choice

Newton Faulkner - write it on your skin 










I have chosen to use this song as my final song. This is because the lyrics of this song inspires me the most as I feel they give me a chance to use elements of what I have been inspired by and spoken about above, throughout the video. In this video I plan to make a hybrid of both narrative and performance, which gives me the chance of using costume, direct address and various outdoors locations to represent common conventions of acoustic and folk music videos. I also feel that the lyrics in this song are quite literal and therefore can be amplified or contradicted.

Another thing I like about this song is how it fits in with the folk/acoustic conventions, of being very calm and mellow. However at some points it is quite upbeat in the chorus. This has inspired me as in filming it will be interesting to watch a video with different shots at different paces to match the song and keep filming speed varied.

Genre:

Acoustic, Folk, Folk Rock

Artist: 

Newton Faulkner

Record label: 

Aware Records
Sony Music Entertainment


Themes:  

Moving on from the past - 'but you can carry on' -

This can be represented by showing the growth of a charterer in my music video, or literal visuals that amplify this theme by someone moving on.

Wanting to change things in your life - 'All the things I'd rather be'

I think I would like to represent this theme by the use of costume mise en scene which can clearly amplify changes in life.


Leaving somewhere - 'I can't stay around here'

Change of location can represent this literally, also emotion shown by direct address can represent the sadness behind this theme.

Feeling stuck in a moment of your life - 'I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off'

Repetitive imagery for this verse to represent being stuck in a frame of time.

What have you learned from audience feedback? Pre production audience research:  My chosen target audience was from ages 16-19, so when I sent out this survey to people in that age range, the results were very important to me when it came to my production and planning Below are some of the results that had the biggest effect on what I aimed to achieve from my video                                                        The results in this question was very important when it came to deciding what type of music video I wanted to create, as it was direct answers from the demographic of my target audience about what they preferred.  Performance or a mixture between the two was the thing was the most votes. This is what caused me to create a mainly performance video with elements of narrative included, as a concept video for my chosen genre doesn't represent the stereotypes of what people expect from those videos.  This audience research was important to me as it me

Dyers star theory Star theory provides a variety of ways to analyse music videos. These ways being: Star persona - Someone whos' image embodies meanings that the audience can instantly recognize.  The image being promoted to an audience in music videos is different than their personal image and identity that isn't in the public eye. An image is constructed for them to make them memorable to the audience but also allows them to be seen as an interesting and unique figure, not just the average person. They become instantly recognizable as an artist and embody a variety of meanings they show through their music and image.  A stars persona can be represented in a variety of ways and through different platforms: A name change to something more interesting than their birth name - giving them a unique edge e.g Rihanna who is actually called Robyn Rihanna Fenty  She also adds to her star persona by a variety of different image changes and different elaborate styles
