Music video Idea N1

                                 Ideas for music video.

Today in the lesson we were brainstorming ideas. Then we decided to split up between the groups and create our own ideas. 


John Newman video:
Released - 17 May 2013
Format - Digital download
Genre        Pop, break beat
Length - 3:54
Label - Island
Writer(s) - John Newman, Steve Booker
Producer - Steve Booker, Mike Spencer


The music clip starts off with a relaxed atmosphere and slow motion effect showing people coming up the stairs and entering the hall. The video consists of sharp shot reverse shots and eye line shots, overall some of the shots are quit professional and are not just simplistic. The lighting is natural without any other special effects.



When I watched this music video I liked it straight away. The whole narrative until the end made me to remember myself in similar situations, therefore while watching the video I was having much more emotions. I really like the idea of when a boy sees a girl which he likes, then they have an eye contact smiling at each other, but when the girl isn’t alone and it makes you even more interested to try to get on with her.  The good thing which I like about this music video that there is a narrative where the singer himself is not involved, therefore it is an impression of watching  an intrigue and romantic story with a prominent, distinctive and indispensable singer.

                                                              Twitter:

The music video has 25,657,446 views, which is a significant number for an artist to become recognisable worldwide. However on Facebook it got only 84,914 likes, which is understood as the singer is only starting to develop.

Another video, which dragged our interest, is the music clip by Neighborhood ' Flawless'





By the group ' The Neighborhood':
Released on: April 22, 2013
Format: Digital downloads
Genre: Rock/Indie; Alternative rock
Length: 4:06
Label: Columbia
Writers: Jesse Rutherford, Zach Abels
Producer: Emile Haynie

                    




















The clip starts off with a medium close up of the back of a woman driving her car. The concept of the clip is unique and quit strange since all the four minutes we see one type of shot, the close-up shot of the woman. The video itself is black&white, which transfers the atmosphere of relax and calmness. The clip gently smooth as it goes through and the words match the chosen type of shot
