Organising actors and dancers:

When organising the dancer of my music video, I showed her the music video and where she will start dancing and how I would like her to dance. Through this conversation there were many questions interchanged such as 'Do you want me to dance to how the lyrics are sung?' and 'What style of clothing do you want me to wear?'. This eagerness gives me the confidence that I have found myself a trustworthy and hardworking dancer who has lots of enthusiasm and will hopefully produced professional scenes for the music video.
When organising my singer, I showed him the lyrics of the song and the location of where we will be filming and he instantly said he will be the singer. The only questions asked was if he had to act or if he just had to stand and sing, and with my response of 'you have to make it all look natural and as if you are putting every emotion you have into it' he seemed very excited and looked enthusiastic about filming the music video.
Overall, when organising the singer and dancer, they both seemed very enthusiastic and like they want to film this video to their best ability.

Extension to the previous post:

The way Andrew Goodwin wrote his book 'Dancing in the Distraction Factory' in 1992, yet can be applied to music videos from the 1980s, shows how music videos form the 80s influenced him to write his book. For example, his first convention, Video and Genre, where the context and the look of the video both link with each other, as seen in Material Girl. This shows that this music video that I analysed in my previous post, can be seen as a resource for Andrew Goodwin, which he could have analysed and came up with his theory of Video and Genre. This shows 80s music videos to be highly important for his book, and could have set the stride for current music videos that we see today. Another example is the use of voyeurism in Material Girl and Total eclipse of the heart. This use of voyeurism expresses the female body to be used and for men to look at, emphasising the theme of the 'male gaze'. However, another use of voyeurism is through 'Sledgehammer' which shows hi...

With the filming all done, and the triple-screen edited, I have almost finished my music video! All I need to do now is finish off the final bits of editing and then  will be able to upload my music video.

What I know about music videos so far:

There are three types of music videos: Performance, Narrative and Abstract . Performance is usually performed by pop and rock bands as it includes the artist(s) performing the song themselves. This type of production is very common and very easy to use. Narrative can be performed by any genre as it includes telling a story in time with the song. This can be figurative, not literal, meaning the story doesn't have to be real. This makes the music video unusual and distinctive. Abstract is very detached from the music video and lyrics. It has unconnected images that are played in time to the song and primarily suits the less mainstream styles of music, but does fit any style. I have also learnt about the 6 main conventions of music videos. 1: Videos and Genre: this determines the context and look of the video overall. 2: Lyrics and Visuals: This is where the lyrics and visuals of the song match each other. This is shown through Illustrative:  where you can...
