Campaign for third music video idea

Here is more then one artist-the whole band, so I want to show all of them on both website and digipak.
On the website there will be a photo of all of them. They will be in different clothes to show that they are all different personalities. There will be also as usual links to all social media, photos, news dates of upcoming concerts and all other information which will connect artist and audiences.

For the digipak, I want the main colours to be blue and red. On the front page we will see a close up photo of the band in red and blue lightening. Inside there will be a picture of these to colours mixing together like a splash representing the emotions a customer will experience after listening to this CD. On the back there will be all production names and the same picture of the group as in the front, but where they are laughing. 

Campaign for second music video idea

This artist is more romantic so I want to show this on his website. There will be a lot of pictures of him online as I want him to target mainly females. There are also probably would be lyrics of his song as there is meaning in them. Like on the others artist's websites, there are going to be links to all his social media profiles, dates of upcoming tours and concerts and some sort of player so the viewer could listen to his latest album on his website. I want the website to be in green colours, so it would be pleasant to use it.

This is the closest example I have found.

The digipak I also want to make in blue-green colours. On the front page I want to show the artist sitting on the chair with guitar. There will be also his name and title of the album. This is a debut album so his face should be clearly seen. The inside will be in the same colours, but there also will be lyrics to one or two songs. At the back there will be a list with all songs which are inside and empty room with leaning on the wall guitar.

Campaign for first music video idea

I want to create a sad and even depressing star image of the artist so both website and digipak would be in dark grey colours. This is one of his first albums and I want people to remember him, so there would be a close up picture of his face on it.
The closest examples to what I want to make for this particular artist would be:

This one would be closer by the atmosphere it creates:

And this one would be very similar to what I want:

On the website there should be links to all his social media profiles to create a link between the artist and his audience, dates of upcoming events related to the artist, information about the artist himself, there should be also an opportunity to listen to his songs straightaway on the website. By showing all this information the website will promote the artist and all related products to him. However, I want to leave some mystery, so there won't be any biography available in information sector.

The digipack would be made in the same theme as the website and therefore the music video. It would probably be very simple in black and white colours. On the front we will again see the face of the artist and his name written in bold, inside it would be plain black or with some grey stains. On the back of it, the colour will be the same as in inside, but there will be a list of songs written in white and production names. The CD  itself would be mate black with the name of the artist on it.

Third idea for music video

For the third idea a chose this song:

This song is much more popular then the previous ones, but I was inspired by it so decided to use it here.
I want to show the group itself, how they are playing in the studio. All the video clip would be in dark colours: red and black are the main ones.
The group would play on the black background with red and blue lightening. At first we won't see their faces as at the beginning the lighting will be from the back, so we will see just their silhouettes.

There would be 2 more timelines: how the band sitting at the tables, drinking beer and playing cards. This scene will break 180 degree rule as the camera would constantly go around this table showing all members. At one point in this scene we start to see that there is a conflict happening and singer stands up and leaves the room.

The third scene would be how the singer who left the room in the previous scene walks alone in the black hood on empty street.

The last shot will be the the same studio with the group, but the band playing without the artist.

Second idea for music video

The second idea I have is very different to the previous one by genre and the star image it creates.
I chose a song by Joshua Hyslop :

This artist is more romantic and targets different audience.
The music video is set in the studio/ cafe where he is performing his song.
The artist will be young, attractive man.
At first, we see the artist sitting alone playing guitar and singing.

Then, we start to see shots of a girl sitting somewhere near at the table and listening to him. She smiles at him, flirting. We can then also see how the artist notices her and starts to flirt with her too. This scene reminds me on one scene from Glee, but less dramatic then there.

After that flirting communication, between the shots of the singer, we see their's future, how they spending happily time together.

First idea for music video

Here is one of my ideas for the music video we are going to do this year:

The song I chose is not popular at all, but I found it quite interesting

This artist is a young guy around 20. His artist image is a bit depressing as his songs and especially music videos have loneliness and analysation of life. 

This particular music video will consist of 3 main parts: dances, artist singing and city walk of the artist. The whole video is going to be in dark cold colours

The music clip opens with empty black space with fading light.

On 0:11 when we start to hear drums, we see the next shot. On the same black background 1 girl is dancing. 

On 0:24 starts a new shots of the artist. It is black and white close up on his face. He raises his head and starts to sing looking straight to the camera.

Sometimes these 2 scenes quickly change one to another couple of times.

On 0:36 the 3 scene begins. The artist is walking on the streets of empty town. It looks like a very early morning - beginning of sunrise.

For the rest of the video these 3 images are changing each other.

Lip Sync Exercise

This week we had a chance to work with cameras again. We went to the studio to understand how video clips are shot. The song was Shape Of You, so most of us already knew the lyrics. We were doing it on 3 different backgrounds: blue walls and a painting, wall with multicoloured lights and greenscreen, one of which gave an experience of working with a track. We were taught to film clapper first and then the singer itself. That is done to easier synchronise sound when editing as you just have to match seconds on the clip and music track. We have done at least three shots of each scene: wide, mid and close as we did when filmed thriller opening title. Every person in our class tried different jobs at it - being cameraman, singer, director. I think that this whole exercise was very interesting and fun.


After shooting, we went to edit suite, where we were reminded how to edit. Also, we were shown how to synchronise music and picture. Firstly, we chose good shots and synchronised them with our song. After that, we were cutting shots to create a nice picture. We decided to choose all shots with me as an artist as it was easier to know for me which were good and which weren't. We had about half an hour to produce this little clip, so the work we have done is just a practise and not really serious one.
