Planning - Reflection on moderator's report

Brief 4: Music video and online

Requirements of the brief

You work for an independent media production company. You have been given the task of producing a three-minute music video for a popular music ballad* by a fictional band/artist signed to Warner Music Group and two pages for the working website for the band/artist.

Target audience: A primarily 16-25 year old middle and up market audience of style-conscious people.


Planning - Reflection on moderator's report


For music videos:


Effective:

- considered implications of rhythm, pace and lyrical content

- location is important

- clear planning and construction between the narrative and performance 

- well preformed lip-syncing

- variety of costume changes and settings and a wide variety of shot distances, framing and camera movement

- synced editing to the beat of the music

- good use of camera work



Ineffective:

- no effective use of media language 

- majority of footage from holidays, nights out or martial shot at musical festivals

- out of sync lip-syncing and musical instruments

- 'shoehorned' representations of social groups at the end of the video

- very little variety of shots used, eg. in classroom or bedroom

- didn't meet codes and conventions of the form

- repetition shots - didn't demonstrate a breadth of skill

- lack of a clear through-line 

- no real performance element

- no titles

- no logo

- inclusion of vaping, smoking and drinking alcohol - not appropriate 

- performer didn't match the voice

- didn't direct viewers to website - no digital convergence 


This research was conducted from the Summer 2023 Moderators Report
