insperational videographers
Videographers that I find to be inspirational and have inspired the style of video I want to shoot are; Joost Vandebrug who is originally a photographer however incorporates this into his shooting with lighting and composition as well as camera movements. This adidas video is very edgy and urban which is how we intend to create our music video. Similarly another videographer I found is French Fred once again originating from photography incorporating his knowledge of compostion and depth of field to his skating videos.

Representation Issues - Conclusion
Indie music has originated from alternative rock during the 1980’s. controversial on weather indie rock deserves to be successful as the term come from rock artist’s who work with independent record labels, this is extremely important as enables them to maintain complete creative control ensuring they are true to their music. However in recent years promotional tools such as the internet, album sales, mp3 sales and word of mouth maintain their careers. However many acts have now signed onto either major or subsidiary labels which has created controversy on their title of being Indie. However this subgenre has enabled more artist to emerge. Representation of artist can be perceived in various different ways depending on the; artist, genre and most important how they want to construct them selves. The main aspects that control representation are; props, location, gender, lyrics/soundtrack/music, performance type and wardrobe styling. which is then generally constructed in to stereotypes with in genres. The typical rock image is to be edgy, individuals, who want to stand out and be unconventional, and show creativity in different ways, ironically in many wanting to perceive this different stature they tend to be more alike then different. On the other hand representation of characters in hip hop videos differ to rock videos, as it is very male dominated as they claim to have the high life with ‘money, cars and women’ which are essential conventional tools in promoting a hip hop video. This is displayed extremely well in videos such as ‘Tip drill’ by Nelly as he swipes a credit card between a women’s bottom, reflecting they can be brought and are only there to comply men’s sexual desires. Music videos are a essential tool in representing star image and power as it reinforces the artists ‘Iconography’. the artists image Is just as important to them as there music. Styling of artist are very conventional within genres as in rock conventionally; dark, gothic, black, leather boots, which contrasts to hip hop videos using baseball caps, vests, baggy clothing large jewellery and women. The mise-en-scene is crucial as lighting location and props construct a visual image of the artist. It is essential to understand this as we will need to represent the band in a way that will be able to promote them.

Role Research - Camera Person
The camera man is responsible for physically operating the camera and maintaining composition throughout a given scene or shot. In filmmaking of any sort, the camera man will collaborate with the director, director of photography, actors and crew to make technical and creative decisions. In this setting, a camera operator is part of a camera crew consisting of the director of photography and one or more camera assistants (however as we are a group of four this will not be the case during this production)
The role of cameraman is required in a vast range of settings from studios to live events. A cameraman uses his specialized training to manipulate factors like angle, lighting and psychographic effect in the career field.
Important camera operating skills consist of; choreographing and framing shots, knowledge of and the ability to select appropriate photographic lenses, and other equipment (dollies, camera cranes, steady cam, etc.) to portray dramatic scenes. The principle of a dramatic story telling and film editing fundamentals are important skills as well. The came operator is required to communicate clearly and concisely on film sets where time and budget constraints are ever present.

Interviews - Conclusion
1. What do you think makes a music video effective?
This open question could have many diverse answers depending on the person and there style, however I began to discover that the answer to this question to be rather similar between all of my interviewers weather they be male/ female, young or middle aged. The simplest way to reflect there thoughts, were; instant visual impact, it to be striking, and an original concept, the most essential thought was to create something that had not been done before, a new concept so I believe in order to take this aboard, in the most effective way would be to challenge the conventions. One candidate even said that it was not even that important weather the story had any relation to the song, giving us an open option to then therefore do as we please making it as extravagant as possible not restricting us in any way.
2.do you think a music video needs to be controversial to gain publicity?
For this question I had mixed opinions however the thought behind were similar as if it is controversial it is instantly recognised and publicised hence generating more viewers. However for the people that said it was not essential for it to be controversial, did believe ‘that videos that provoke strong reactions will be discussed and receive more publicity than run of the mill ones. However an original idea will get people talking more.’
3.what’s your favourite music video and why?
Once again I had mixed thoughts as I got various videos and reasons, however one thing that was agreed upon amongst the candidates was that it is difficult to choose a ‘favourite’ music video as new ones are constantly being produced, so your options are constantly changing, which will effect you depending on your mood or your thoughts during periods and how you develop as a person will effect your thoughts at different stages of your life, however saying this the videos that were chosen were done so due the viewer believing that the video was shocking and had a sense of originality and excitement of some form. Once again I feel this conveys that it is essential that we construct something that is unpredictable and unconventional in order to capture the viewers attention.

Interview
Henry McDermott- 17 years old
1. What do you think makes a music video effective?
In my opinion having a unique and interesting music video is the must effective as this gains the viewers interest. Using different ideas that other artists haven’t yet thought of often gains the music videos popularity and therefore creates an overall positive outlook on it. However, I also think it’s important to original ideas with what a lot of people want and expect with music videos as long as it can relate back to the song or the target audience. For example, this could be violence, parties or references to sex.
2.do you think a music video needs to be controversial to gain publicity?
Yes
-Why?
I do think a music video needs to be controversial to gain publicity as it is an easy way to get viewers attention.
3. What is your favourite music video?
- why?
My favourite music video is Akon and David Guetta- Sexy Bitch as it put you in a good mood to party and attempt to get laid.

1. What do you think makes a music video effective?
Instant visual impact or something that tells a story regardless of weather it has any relation to the song. Something that makes me laugh.
2.do you think a music video needs to be controversial to gain publicity?
I don’t think a video has to be controversial but there is no doubt that videos, that provoke strong reactions will be discussed and receive more publicity, than run of the mill ones. I think an original idea will get people talking more.
3. What is your favourite music video?
- why?
Sid Vicious- My Way. My reaction to it has changed so much over the years. At the time it was made it was quite shocking but now it strikes me as slightly amusing and also poignant because he didn’t really do anything his way and was dead within a few months.
John- 19 years old

Two things;
i. striking/ new visuals/ good storyboard idea.
ii. Strong musical track.
2.do you think a music video needs to be controversial to gain publicity?
No but it helps because people in the wider media will be disusing it and as they say ‘there is no thing as bad publicity’
3. What is your favourite music video?
- why?
I haven’t really got one but I liked Prodigy’s Smack My Bitch Up I thought the camera work created a high energy/ confused style, there was lots going on and it had a good twist at the end.
