To explore and identify key filming conventions and performance styles for our genre Summer, Zoe and I created a Padlet, where we analysed the popular pop song ‘Only Love Can Hurt Like This’ by Paloma Faith. We unpicked various camera angles shown in the performance of her music video and explored the significance the different angles had.
This has taught me the importance of using a variety of shots and angles and a repertoire of elements. Every shot has a meaning, in this instance the angles were more simple and had a slower pace of edit which reflects back to the Star Image as her character in the music video conveys a melancholy feeling. Deconstructing this music video also taught me the significance of the five most powerful elements of cinematography; Exposure, Composition, Camera Movement, Camera Angles and the use of Colour. Moving forward into the making of my music video I will be sure to incorporate these elements and convections into my work.
For our genre of pop\folk pop the conventional narratives focus of relationships with friends, family and lovers. This genre also focuses on representing the Star Imagine as independent, strong, powerful and free willed. Moving forwards into the creation of our own music video we will be sure to construct our narrative and and illustrate our performance in a way where the Star Image is conveyed in a way that would be expected to see in a folk pop music video so that our work reaches the right audience and what they would be looking to see.
