Existing Track Inspiration

I have formed a list of music videos that I could possibly use for my NEA Coursework 
music video task, these all fit with the Dance genre and would also be sutiable for the
 16-24 year old target audience.

Shakira- Waka Waka
This is currently my most preferred music video that I am hoping to use the track for within my own music video. I personally believe the increasing melody and contrasting pitch make it an enjoyable and dance-worthy music video overall.

Shakira- Try Everything
Although this music video is based upon a movie, I personally enjoy the live feel and the constant increase in pitch and tone- it allows us an audience to catch the rythm and enjoy the track overall.

Avicci- Wake Me Up


Coldplay- Something Just Like This



Niall Horan- On the Loose



Anne Marie- Friends


Grace VanderWall- Moonlight

Imagine Dragons- On Top of the World

Ella Eyre- Came Here for Love


Colplay- Up and Up
 

Naughty Boy- One Chance to Dance

Dance Genre Research


        
 LEARNING POINTS: 
From completing this research into the Dance genre, I must convey the conventions that I stated within the presentation, the key conventions being: Fast paced editing, vibrant and colourful clothing and set and high angle establishing shots in order to provide the dance environment. I intend on using these throghout my music video production as well as ensuring that I abide by the generic conventions also.

LEARNING POINTS:
  • Ensure that my music video and website are connected and that this connection is clear throughout. Remember, there are ten marks for providing a sense of synegy
  • Use similar colour schemes in my video and website, this will make it seem more continuous
  • Although I am not making a digipak, use the same images on the website as you would on the digipak.
