Targets - Production Log #3

This week, I completed an important task which will help me understand the conventions of music videos and how they work. While doing this task, I have thought about my own music video, I have an idea of having a mixture of narrative and performance; this is because I couldn’t make my mind up between having a narrative music video or a performance music video.  Furthermore, I started another task relating to my research. Currently I’m researching about existing music labels, and how they started out and which music artists are signed to them.

During the summer, I have a clear plan of what I am going to be doing. I am planning to get all my research tasks done and record my first draft of my music video. Before recording the first draft of my music video, I will be conducting some research by taking pictures of any potential location which I would be shooting my music video, also I will build up the idea research by looking into the costumes the actors will wear, hair and make-up and props that would potentially be part of my music video.

Over the break there will be few targets which I am going to set myself. One of them will be to finalise a song which I will use for my music video. I’ve already been finding songs which will be suitable for shooting. Few songs are on the top of my list and probably one of them will potentially be the song I want for my music video.
-Foxes – Holding into Heaven, Let go for tonight
-CLARE – my audacity
-Katy B – 5AM, crying for no reason
-Katy Perry – Unconditionally
-Ellie Goulding – Goodness Gracious
-Sia - Chandelier

The songs listed above are songs which have stood out for me and I believe all of them are potential and appropriate.

Furthermore, over the break I will like to get into the position where I am on the last stage of planning and have a rough vision of what my music video will be like.
