I personally think that the music video for ‘Avicci-The Nights’ is a truly amazing video. I believe the video has been put together perfectly to portray a message, I love the way they have put go-pro clips together to make a collage of crazy life events. Including-Tombstoning, sight-seeing, parkour etc. This effectively links with the main lyric in the song witch is ‘ Live a Life you will remember’ this is showing the audience that take all your opportunities whilst you can as life is to short to stress and worry. I think it also trying to show the audience that they should do things they are going to remember for the rest of there lives. I really like this video and it has inspired me for my video for the project. I think this video is perfect for the song. The character they have used in the video is also completely linked with the song making the viewers more caught in with the video. Overall I think this is going to help me a lot when it comes to making my own video as it is perfectly down my street and I want to portray this sort of vibe and atmosphere in the music video.

I think that the music video for ‘Bruno mars- Uptown Funk’ is a very well put together music video. I love the vibe that the song and the video gives off, I think this really helps draw in the audience. I also like the way the video is upbeat through the song giving off a ‘feel good feeling’! I believe this video has helped massively making this song so popular in the music industry. I think that this is trying to give off the message of ‘everybody should enjoy themselves and have fun’ witch I also think makes this video so good. They have used the perfect characters in this as they have used stereotypical jazzy people and have used jazzy, upbeat activities in there video for example dancing. This music video has helped me hugely for when I create my own video as this has given me all the aspects I have to include to create a successful music video.

I think that the music video for ‘Ed sheeran-Thinking out loud’ is a very good music video. I

believe this because they have created a brilliant message that fits in perfectly with the context of

the song. For example the song is about ‘love’ and the video is of two dancers engaging deeply with each other. This is portraying the message

of the song. This video is ‘Narrative’ Music video as is mainly focuses on showing the audience a

story and a meaning behind the video unlike others. This is a video that is very good and

engaging the audience as this help approach all ages and genders of people, meaning that older

and younger generations can all watch this video and thoroughly enjoy it. This video has given me a lot of inspiration for when I come to creating

my own music video. This is due to all the aspects it has made me think about witch I am

now going to include in my own video.

CLEARANCES/COPYRIGHT

• To prevent injury of the actors featuring I my music video we will need to make sure that we have fully practise the key scenes before filming. This will help eliminate the chances of an injury occurring whilst filming the music video. This can be done by making sure the following things are done before proceeding to filming. Firstly if there is any scenes where the cast will be running whilst looking at the camera make sure that the surface the actor is running on is dry, non-slippery and clear of any objects. This will help lower the chances of any injuries from happening.

• When the actor is lip syncing it will be important to make sure you we have had a practise run before so that the actor is certain where he is going as most likely his eyes will be set on looking at the camera, by knowing the route thoroughly this will prevent injury in the procedure. Also make sure that all obstacles and tripping hazards are cleared from the route.

• When the actor is doing an activity such as swimming, trampolining, skateboarding, cycling etc. Make sure that the actor has had previous experience to prevent the risk of injury. Also I will make sure that they are comfortable with the activity they are doing.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

different ages groups.• No inappropriate activities including smoking and

drinking.• If young people are featured in the music video make

sure that you have parent consent to prevent further problems.
