Agnostic Clown- The Latest
Sorry for not updating it recently. I have no excuse. So, where are we? I have joined forces with Adam and Lewis to create some sort of supergroup. We have decided on an artist; Agnostic Clown. We've decided that he plays music of an acoustic rock nature. The song we're using is called standing in the rain, and some early ideas we've had include shooting in black and white, and the use of a beach.
Ultimatley, by the end of the day we should each have a storeyboard on our blogs (technology depending), and also i should have a few more music videos on my blog. then we can film it in the new year, and all will be good.

Vanity Kills- Codeine Velvet Club
I'm going to analyse "Vanity Kills" by Codeine Velvet Club. The song belongs to the alternative rock genre. The video demonstates characteristics of a rock video, as it shows the band performing their song, and this is usually the focus of a rock video.
One thing i found with the video and the song is there is no connection. It is simply the song being played in a recoding studio in black and white. Some videos that do have a connection between video and lyrics would be "21 Guns" by Green Day, "When you were young" by The Killers and "I write sins not tradegys" by Panic! at the Disco. Each of these use the lyrics to portray a short narative.
There is, however, a relationship between the music and the visuals.Whenever there is an insrument solo, the camera focus' on they member playing that instrument. This is similar to the bands other video "Hollywood", in which the camera cuts in time to the guitar at the start of the chorus.
From this video I get the impreesion the record company is trying to pitch the lead members of the band (Jon Lawler and Lou Hickey) as stars. Lawler is recognisable from his other band The Fratellis, therefore by focusing on him, people who watch the video are familier with the musician, and so they can broaden their audience. The band is being filmed in formal wear, as if to give the viewer the impression they are a classy band.

Music videos-Rock
In the majority of rock music videos at some point you will see the artist performing the song. In a few videos I saw, the band didn't perform the song, however the video followed a narrative based on the song. One example of this type of music video could be "Ole black and blue eyes" by The Fratellis. This video is animated, therefore the band wouldn't be in it. And example of the former would be "21 guns" by Green Day, which also won a few VMAs.

Music Video

for some reason i can't download youtube videos, but theres the link. Bohemian Rhapsody is the most inluential music video ever, as it was one of the first to break the mould of just live performances being shown on tv. it was unique, and lead to music fans everywhere hailing Queen as one of the truley great bands of the 20'th century.
