Music Genre research

This task was a look into similar music videos and songs as to the one we are going to create. I looked at features of a music video which we could add into ours to match the film to the song effectively. This task gave me a key insight into how the editing varies with our genre. From looking at multiple videos, Ive come to the conclusion that the editing is quicker than regular TV and film, however slightly slower than the majority of mainstream pop videos. This may be because the songs are often less joyful and upbeat so fast editing isn't as much of a match with these slower songs. Ive confirmed here that this genres music videos have a mix of narrative and performance. In the song Heathens there is even an inclusion of performance with the narrative. We will do the same in our music video to create a more fluent and connected video that has a clear link to the song and lyrics. After looking into Goodwins relation to lyrics theory, we will use elements of amplification and illustration in our video to create a clear link between the narrative and the video. After looking at another song made by Twenty One Pilots, Heathens, I have learnt more about the band and the instruments used in their songs. Drums and a bass guitar are featured in the music video for this song which has influenced our ideas. We will include a drummer and his drum kit in our video along with a  singer. This shall mean that our video matches the instruments in the song to make for a realistic and professional video.
