Filming again

I have decided that I want to film some more as some of the clips I have are not very good. I am going to be filing again on 10/12/11 and this will provide me with some better clips and I also hope that I may be able to film some narrative to go along with the performance part of the video.

No reply form the record label

I have not received an e-mail back from the record label so I am going to assume that they have not got an issue with me using the track for my A2 music video. If I do receive anything from them I will update this post.

Actors

For my video I have used the following actor:

Tom - he is the only actor in the video

Location - Main Task

The location that I am going to use is....

Below are some photos of the location that I have taken

Paradigm and Syntagm

I have created the following for my performance elements of my music video

The elements highlighted create a syntagm and the elements in bold on the right are the Paradigm. This has allowed me to focus on what I am going to include in my video and it will help to construct the performance but the camera position will change otherwise the audience may become oppositional.

In a lesson we discussed media language and we learnt that media language is the codes and conventions of a media text.

Convention + Convention +Convention = Code

Convention = Expectations

Conventions of the horror genre

• The final girl
• Psychopathic villan
• Isolated

Narrative codes - Example

Applying Barthes narrative codes to music videos from Paul Weller.

(Please note that Paul Weller was in The Jam)

There are more cultural codes in Paul Weller videos than any other, the reason for this is that in the 1970's and the 1980's there were a lot of different trends such as punk, skinhead, mods and rockers and Paul Weller music is aimed at the mods and rockers. Paul Weller was also part of the jam and the style council and this made him popular amoung this scene.

Here is an example of a music video with Barthes cultural narrative code in

There is also some symbolic elements to his music. An example of this is The Jam - Going underground (which I have analysed before) and Eton rifles and the reason for this is that there is an element of anti-establishment throughout both of the songs, here are the two videos...

The Jam - Going underground
