Video Analysis - Haillee Steinfeld - Starving

Little mix- Hair music video analysis

This is a video analysing another music video. I used this to inspire my own ideas.

The Set/ Location

I decided to set my music video in my house. This would create the atmosphere or a normal house and is really easy to access. The main room that I will be using for my video, is my bedroom. Seeing as I am a teenager myself it will create the idea of a normal teenage room to make the video seem more realistic.

Next Steps

Storyboarding

Here are pictures of the story boards that I have created to help me with filming with Meg for my music video. I plan to create another storyboard similar to these ones for the filming that I plan to do with Katie. In year 11 I had to create a music video and without story boarding it was very hard to decide what I wanted to do on the spot. I have learnt from that and now have decided to really plan out everything that I want to do.

Narrative Theory

My plan

As I have changed my idea I though that it would be appropriate to use the 'hair' videos I had created as practice videos. This means practicing with my cast, with the camera, lighting and with editing. This will allow me to plan out exactly what I want to film for my actual video. When working
with Meg I realized that it was really easy to say exactly what I wanted her to do. We worked well together as Meg found it quite a fun experience. Next time, I will do exactly what I did before but do a little more planning for the shots that I want. Although I had created a storyboard and planned out with meg before hand what I wanted her to do, during the process we both thought of quite a lot of new or better ideas. This was really useful as Meg is also a part of my target audience, so this way I knew exactly what she wanted in the video which would have acted as what my part of my target audience would have wanted in the video.

I have created a plan for the next couple of posts and I want to start filming for my new idea

- Post Little Mix videos- explain the shots I used and which ones I liked and which ones I didn't like

- Introduce my new character- Katie and Meg have two different characters. Katie is the singer and Meg is just an actress in the video. Take shots of Katie for Digipak and magazine advertisement

- Video Analysis of Haillee Steinfeld's song 'Starving'- focusing more on the target audience this time

- Video Analysis of Hair by Little Mix - talking about the shots that I like and what parts inspire me

- Storyboard for my new song

- A target audience video. Asking someone who is in my target audience questions about my new character and the sort of music that they like - video

- Filming Schedule, when I am filming with meg and when I am filming with Katie, these can both be at separate times as they are not in the video together

- Footage for my new video- A practice run of editing the footage together
