You are currently making a music video. Look at the requirements for the music video brief by opening the link HERE on our blog.

PREP tonight:

Write an account of how YOUR current music video production meets this brief.

Me and my friends at school are making a music video and we are following the music video brief. We are doing this by aiming it at a specific age range of 14 – 18-year olds as there is no extreme violence or language but it is also not childish enough to be for children younger than the target range as there are some scenes which suggest violence which they might not be too comfortable with. Also, we used an existing song which was written by one of my class friends called Asa.

The narrative is three boys trying to improve at the sport they are playing as the song talks about staying motivated and not losing determination. We did filming in two locations which where the football/rugby pitch and the tennis courts. In our plan we discussed to use a range of different camera angle and shots including close-ups, tracking shots, still shots, handheld and interesting shots looking through the football net. Finally, I am going to edit the music video to fit the different points and beats during the song so then hopefully it will have a greater effect on the listeners and viewers.
