Analysis of previous students A2 work



Analysis of previous students a2 work from emmacalder123


Analysing other students work has helped me gain a better understanding of what I want to achieve when creating my own music video. I have realised that attention to detail is key, whether that be when choosing the location or costume, or even to the camera placement.

Diary entry 20/8/13

Yesterday I filmed scenes for my music video, but before this I went to Hobby Craft and brought some props for my friends to wear, items included, glitter, bubbles and also face paint. Not only this I brought some 'Alice bands' and some flowers to create a flower head band for the girls to wear in the music video. All these items can be found in videos that portray a summery, festival feeling. This illustrates the genre of pop as a whole. Flower headbands are quite 'in your face' and loud just like the genre of pop can be. Also Pop is associated with the summer due to its upbeat, happy vibe which summer brings to people.

Here is images of the flower head band that I created:

Videos that I personally admire (4)



I love this music video because of its high key lighting. It creates a really summery and festival feeling which I really want to create in my music video. Not only this, I have taken on board the props that they have use in this music video, such as flowery headbands, bubbles and also the brightly coloured sunglasses. I am going to go and buy these objects as I feel that these will help create the summery theme that I really want to get across on my music video.

Research into the relavent music genre



Icona Pop are classed as multiple genres. This includes Electro House, House, Electro Pop and also Indie Pop. I chose to research Electro House as I wanted to gather a better understanding of what the genre actually was, and what the main characteristic are. Now I have done this research, I have a better understanding of the genre and also can see the characteristics of the genre in Icona Pop's song 'I love it'.
