Music Video Comparison

·       Do you think you have created a successful music video why?
·       Which micro element, best shows your creativity and understanding of your music genre the most?

·       Compare your music video to a successful video, from the same genre and explain how your video is conventional. Consider the style, representation of the artist sounds, editing, mise-en-scene

I think that I have made a successful music, because to me it looks realistic and its something an audience can watch continuously without getting bored because it is interesting. It also is because it has such a catchy song people will keep it in there head for days on end. I also believe that it is successful due to the audience feed back and how they have all enjoyed it. Another reason for me to think that I have made it successful it that it still has a dance theme to it even though I tried to break the convention and make it more indie.

Throughout the music video the creativeness is there, which is shown though the different places and shots that I have used. This can be seen though the fireworks, self held camera shots and base speaker. I think this is creative because within a dance music video they only stick to the dance aspect. I saw most music dance music videos and wanted to break the convention and make it more interesting then someone dancing and too much of a simple storyline. I have done this well due to the good response from the target audience and I still haven't got bored of watching the same video. I have broken the convention of a dance video by having loads of different filters throughout.

My music video had more of a storyline then most dance music videos I'm comparing it to 'Timber' By Ke$ha and Pitbull this song done very well getting over 130million views and also being number 1 on the singles charts. Throughout this video there isn't any storyline it is set in a America country side with them dancing and drinking with locals, my video contrast with this because it has a meaning behind it with a strong storyline but also has the elements of a dance video from the fast pace and dancing within it. It is also unconventional due to the editing style, I have used different fame changes throughout while this video has only used clean cut in every change. I have stuck to the convention of having woman being flirtatious, because I believe this keeps male interest to the video. Also used alcohol but I haven't glamorised it unlike most music videos. The uses of Dr. Dre beats head phones was used a product placement so that it look more realistic like the Timber video which had been sponsored by alcohol companies.

I have made my artist seem more realistic and more approachable compared to Ke$ha in this video because she seems too glamorous and unreliable towards the audience, so once again I broke the convention.

  1. This demonstrates a basic understanding of how your music video compares to a similar music video and this is because you have not explored the points and examples in enough detail. You also need to include screenshots, to develop and support the points that you have made.
