GOODWINS RULES OF MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS! - which I need to have evidence of these throughout my video.
1. Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics(e.g. stage performance in metal video, dance routine for boy/girl band).
2. There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals(either illustrative, amplifying, contradicting).
3. There is a relationship between music and visuals(either illustrative, amplifying, contradicting).
4. The demands of the record label will include the need for lots of close ups of the artist and the artist may develop motifs which recur across their work (a visual style).
5. There is frequently reference to notion of looking (screens within screens, telescopes, etc) and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body.
6. There is often intertextual reference (to films, tv programmes, other music videos etc).

Research into similar Artists....
Taylor Swift:
Her image and representation of her songs are near enough the same as the sound of the song I want to do. Her songs have become well noticed with the young/teenage girls who believe that her songs 'speak' to them. Most of her songs have been in the top 20 due to her acoustic and young sound, and her videos are mostly of the narrative genre, because she wants her videos to create the meaning. I will be looking more closely at her videos as her videos portray love and relationships, which ultimately are aimed at young girls. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=taylor+swift+you+belong+with+me&aq=1
She has a more soulful sound to Taylor Swift, but that is one of the main reasons I have also chosen her as a style guide. As her music is more mature, it is suitable for an older audience. Her video genre is more perfomance as your just focused on her. However you could say she has a hybrid of narrative, as in some videos she does tell a story throughout the video, an aspect most singers do today as they want to show meaning through the video. I would probably take away her performance as inspiration, as you can really show the emotions she is trying to portray throughout her video 'Make You Feel My Love'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0put0_a--Ng
Katie Melua:

Katie Melua:Again her music is inspirational, and is suitable for all people. Her music is very soft and emotional, as seen through her videos. The genre of her videos are mostly performance, but they tend to go through the hybrid of narrative and soectacle, as she uses effects in her videos 'If The Lights Go Out' and 'I Cried For You'. Her songs are a tad quicker in rhythm than my chosen song, but her sound is soft as is 'Come Around' (my chosen song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27RVIgW7L8c

Planning process for Music Video!
The mood board
The mood board helped me visualise ideas of how I could show a typical teenage romance. You can see pictures of Taylor Swift's video 'Be Mine' and general pictures of how I would dress my actors. It also has pictures and associated words of seasons that are mentioned throughout the song. The colours on this mood board connote love as these are colours associated with this emotion.
My little learning curve: the main problem I have encountered so far is uploading my animatic onto the blog. Even though I have evidence of having an animatic and a storyboard, the format for the animatic was wrong, something to do with not having the rate on 25.00. So when I tried to upload it onto youtube, they said 'error: the video has violated youtube servers' or something along those lines. This has been a real learning curve, i know now what to do and where to go from here.
These shot lists show the order in which I plan to film and what props, costume and location would be needed for the making of... to take place. This will really help me track my progress and to keep ahead of the deadline.
Well we have begun this process again...trying to find out what will and won't work for the video, what will make the video AMAZING, and what will make it look awful. This is when we try and work out what effects and transitions will be suitable for the video..this is when I begin to panic! I'm by myself so I don't have another opinion, so I really need to think about my audience and what I want to show through my video. Heres my mood board which maps out ideas on what I think would be good in my video..please wish me luck, as I really need it :)

Heres the proof: I basically said to her 'Hi i was just wondering if i could use your song come around for my media project, i would be really grateful' and she very nicely replied ':) go for girllllll!' - So you can see why I am happy!! The fact it was also done by Twitter made it easier for her to reply, so for her to reply back faster made the wait less agonizing! So thank you very much Whitney Wiatt!
