Planning The Cinematography

One of the camera shots i will use in my music video will be a close up. This will be used to show the emotions of the artist. This will also be effective because it will build a strong relationship with the audience. Also the close up shot will show the different facial expressions of the artist when he is away from home compared to when he is going home. This is also effective because it goes with Goodwins theory. This will mean that the audience wouldn't get confused and the music video will be a narrative based video. This will be effective for my music video because the close ups will allow the audience to see how focused the artist is.

Another camera shot i will use will be a mid shot. This is effective because it lets the audience see the body language of the artist.. This is also effective because the audience can see the contrast in body language when he is away from home compared to when he is going home. Also the audience get to see the different cloths that the artist wears when he is away from home compared to what he wears away from his work.

Also another camera shot i will use in my music video will be an establishing shot. This will be to show the audience the locations. This is effective because it shows the audience where the video is set. This is also effective becuase they can see the difference in locations. By having two different locations we can see the difference in emotions when the artist is away from home compared to when the artist is going home.

I will also have a panning shot in my music video. The panning shot will be used to show the artist emotions when he playing the piano when he is in the studio. This will be effective because it will let the audience build a relationship with the audience. Also having a panning shot will make my music video more dramatic because of how slow the shot will be. This is effective for my audience becuase there will be a feeling of tension.

Costume

Because i will only have one character in my music video. In one of my locations i will have the character wear  a black suit. This will be effective because it will show how  prefesional he is away from home and also when he is proforming. This will also build a good relationship between the artist and the audience because they will see the prefesionalism of the artist. This will show that the artist is successful and serious about what he does. This is effective because the audience will interpreate that he is a prefesional at what he does because of the suit.
In the location of the park i will have the artist wear something simulair to the image below. This is because it will show how he dresses when he is not preforming. This is effective because it will build a strong relationship with the audience and this will make the audience feel sorry and have a neutral feeling for the artist. Also the costume will show the audience that he is the same as everyone else when he is not doing music and it will also show the contrast of how he preforms to how he acts off stage. Also the costume of the artist is also effective because it allows the artist to express himself through his clothing.

Location and iconography

The locations that I would use in my music video would be a park and a room with a piano. This is because it can relate to the lyrics and the title of the song “Coming home”. This would be effective for my music video because it can build a strong relationship with the audience. Because they will see that the character is walking home, this would build a strong relationship with the audience because they can see that he is happy when he is going home. The location of the studio will be effective because it is something that the character does all the time and he is always away from home so it will show how he feels away from home. The locations are effective and they build a strong relationship because they will see the contrast of how the artist feels away from and when he does come home. This is effective because the audience can build a relationship with the artist and also feel sorry and happy for him because they see what he does go through when he is away from home. The location reflects to the lyrics because the audience will see that he is walking home. This is effective because it relates to the title of the song “coming home”. I know that my audience will like a mixture of the style of the music. The location is conventional to my music video because it will build a strong relationship with the artist because of the narrative of the music video.









The iconography I will use in my music video will be a piano and some paper that has a music book on it. This will be effective because it will show the audience that he is an artist and it will also go with the beat of the song because the beat is played by a piano so it will have relevance in the music video.

Audiences

C1: Office supervisors, junior managers, nurses, specialist clerical staff etc
C2: Skilled workers, tradespersons (white collar)
D: Semi-skilled and unskilled manual workers (blue collar)
E: Unemployed, students, pensioners, casual worker.

This is effective for the different record labels because they can target different people in the different categories effectively. For example a record label such as Sony music because they can target of certain people and make music that they would listen to. For example if they targeted category E, they would see what time they work or what time they are at school and they would play music that they like before and after school on radio and Tv.

For example MTV aim there show at people in the E, D and C2 class because they are more likely to listen to the music that they play. This is effective because they can play different at the different times that the classes are watching Tv. This is also effective because they will get more views when they show it at the right time becuase the class will be watching. Whereas classic tv aim there Tv show at people in the class A,B because they prefer music like that.
