Coursework: Research and planning

Our coursework this year will be to create our own music video.

In order to create any kind of media production, you need to start with research and planning. Your job is to create something as close to professional as you possibly can - and the only way to do that is to study real, professional music videos and work out the conventions and techniques used to make them.

Research and planning

Complete the following tasks on a blogpost on your Media blog called 'Coursework: research and planning':

1) Research: Music videos

Watch the following music videos and analyse an aspect of media language for each one:

Music video 1: Marshmello x YUNGBLUD x blackbear - Tongue Tied

How is narrative used in this music video to engage the audience?



Music video 2: Years & Years - I Wish I Knew

How is camerawork and mise-en-scene used in this video? Use CLAMPS to remember the different aspects of mise-en-scene.



Music video 3: Foals - Hummer

How is editing used in this music video to engage the audience?


Music video 4: Your choice

Select a music video of your choice and analyse an element of it e.g. narrative, camerawork, editing, visual effects etc. If you're not sure which video to use you could watch some of the following:
You may also want to look a completely different, creative approach to music video - such as these Lego stop motion productions and how they use narrative:


2) Music video planning 

Plan out the basic details for your music video. What song do you plan to use? Will your video be performance or narrative based (or both)? Complete the following on the same blogpost underneath your research:
