What Have I Done Today? =J

What I Have Done.

I have analyzed the risk assessment, finding out what possible risks that could take place in our locations and how they can be overcome or stopped.

I have also made my mood board, by creating a background which will have pictures of how we intend our music video should come out like.

Planing- Music Video!

Risk assessment for each location 

A Risk Assessment is a systematic method of looking at work activities, considering what could go wrong, and deciding on suitable control measures to prevent loss, damage or injury in the workplace. The Assessment should include the controls required to eliminate, reduce or minimize the risks.

Drama Room

Possible Risks:

1) Falling Over Props 

2)slipping over a drink spillage

3)Tripping over a wire 

4)Unstable shelves 

5)not having a fire exit

How Will You Overcome These Risks? :

1) This could be avoided by checking that all props are in the right place and in the right position this is the job has to be done before the video.
2) This could be avoided by not allowing people(cast or crew) to bring drinks or food on set.
3) We could avoid this by by checking that there are no wires were the crew can trip over, by checking before you start shooting.
 4) This could be avoided by checking if there are shelf's, check that they are stable and are not likely to cause a hazard.
5) This could be avoided by checking that were ever we shoot our music video there is a fire exit, in case a fire happens to start.

Reviewing - A video created by BTEC students last year.

• Narrative

 The narrative of this music video is to portray the protagonist in a way where the audience can see that the story is based around him and his current emotions towards the world and his/her life.

• Mise En Scene

They had worn there own clothes and brought there own props they need for the music video.

• Type (Performance, Narrative, concept, mixed)

This Music video is a mixed video because its tells a story and it also has a meaning behind the video and what kind of message that it is trying to get across to their viewers.

• How well it follows conventions of hip-hop music video

I Think it follows very well in concepts of  hip-hop music videos that are around these days and it really works well with how a typical hiphop or RnB Music video would look like and sound like.

Reviewing Fatboy slim's - Weapon Of Choice

                                     BETC  Media Homework!

• Narrative

This video is about a man sitting in a hotel the possible storyline could be

Stage1) Man sitting down hears funky music and starts to dance

Stage2) goes through parts of the hotel dancing along to the music.

Stage3) He stats to magically fly around, after coming out of the elevators

• Treatment (concept)

This video is a dance/performance video because it has a man which starts randomly dancing in a hotel. The over all feel of this video is great it makes you want to get up and dance along in a weird and ridiculous way. I don’t think this video has any emotions apart form the emotions shown in his dance moves which are quite relaxed and free at all times.

• Connection to the song
• Misses En Scene (what the camera sees)
• Clothes/Make up- Make-up which is on the dancers face
• Locations- different parts of a building which I am guessing is a hotel.
• Props:

1)      Flower Vase

2)      Loads of Chair’s

3)      Towel Rack

4)      Lamps

5)      Plants

6)      Curtains

7)      Bell

8)      Escalators

9)      Massive Painting on the wall

10)  More Tables and chairs

• Lighting- It was a really bright lighting
• Actor movements/expressions- lots of running and dancing to the beat of the music, the actors expressions were dull and happy at the same time/
• Camera shots/types/movements:

There were lots of Long shot, close-ups in this music video mainly because the actor was moving a lot of the time, but overall it had shots where there are some High shots, low shots and tilt.

Historic, Social and Cultural Context:

Funk legend Bootsy Collins helped write this song and played on it. Collins played bass for George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic, and has worked on many side projects, including The Bootzilla Orchestra and Deee-Lite. And  did you know In David Lynch's film adaptation of Dune, Paul Atreides says to his mother (82 minutes into the movie): "If we walk without rhythm, we won't attract the worm." This is the likely source of the lyrics, "Walk without rhythm, it won't attract the worm." (thanks, Jason - Sydney, Australia)

The video features Christopher Walken dancing. Walken is famous for playing an evil psycho in movies like True Romance, The Deer Hunter, Sleepy Hollow, and Pulp Fiction, which made for a very interesting video because it turns out Walken is a great dancer. He danced in musicals at the beginning of his career.

The video was shot over 2 days in the lobby of a Marriott Hotel in Los Angeles shortly before Christmas in 2000.

This won a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video. Collins accepted the award with Slim.

The video won 6 MTV Video Music awards: Breakthrough Video, Best Direction, Best Choreography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, and Best Cinematography.

Reviewing a Music Video-Jackson5:ABC(full song)

This video is about Micheal Jackson in his early stages of his life when he used to be in a band with his brothers, they were called the jackson5. In this video we see Micheal preform  the song ABC, this video has a little bit of dancing and singing in but overall the video shows how talented Micheal was at the 13 years.

I think this video makes education seem fun for the youngest for viewers because the song keeps on singing the first 3 letters of the alphabet consistently. The song is catchy and has a good rhythm to it. The music video is just a performance of the band advertising their song on national T.V after it was played on the radio.

Its Fun and educational for little kids and the chorurs is catchy and it has a nice catchy rhythm to it.
