Take Me Home - Jess Glynn
The song I have chosen to do for my music video is Take Me Home by Jess Glynn.
"Take Me Home" is a song by English recording artist Jess Glynne. It was released as the fifth single from her debut studio album, I Cry When I Laugh, on 3 November 2015. A music video for the song was released on her Facebook page on 30 October. "Take Me Home" has peaked at number 20 on the Scottish Singles Chart as well as number 46 on the UK Singles Chart and is also the BBC Children in Need single of 2015.
The official music video for the song, lasting four minutes and thirty-three seconds. I'm so pleased and nervous that it's finally out. "This is a song about the need to have someone who cares when you are at your most vulnerable. It's an emotional song for me and I have to admit it brought me to tears filming the video, not because I was sad but because I was so grateful that I had someone to get me out of the dark hole I was in".

Log
Week 1- Today we started our first lesson of A2 media. We spoke about what this years media will consist of and learnt the basics of music videos. We have had a little play around on imovie as well.
Week 2- In this lesson, we did a quick music video analysis to prepare us for when we do them further in to the lesson. I did it on A team by Ed Sheeran. I included screenshots of parts of the video so it was clear which bit I was writing about.
As well as doing my music video analysis, my other teacher spoke to us about Andrew Godwin and his theory so we made a little powerpoint on him.
Week 3- We have had a look at lots of different videos and I have put 8 on my blog for inspiration.
Week 4- I have now started deconstructing a few of the videos I put on my blog the previous week. We have also designed our own questionnaires similar to the ones we did last year but on music videos. I have done this so I can find out what people like and what appeals to them in a music video. This will help me chose what genre/type of music video I want to achieve.
Week 5- Today we have spoke about digipaks because we are going to be designing our own as well as making our music video.
Week 6-This week we wrote out our permission letters to send off to the record label of the song I have chosen to do-"Jess Glynne, Take me home". I have emailed my letter to them to make sure I can use the song.
Week 7- I have done an idea sheet with 3 different ideas for my video and got some feedback on which would work best and hopefully get me the best grade.
Week 8-I have looked into the background of the song and the record label and put a bit of information about them both on my blog.
Week 9- In this lesson I started planning my storyboard for my music video.
I am still doing my story board but have nearly completed it. I know what I am going to film for each lyric of the song so as soon as the cameras are sorted I can start my filming.
Week 10- I have sorted all my locations and models out so need to take pictures of my models and location to put on my blog.
Week 11- I haven't got round to putting all my work on to my blog yet so i'm going to do that now. I need to scan my sheets and just put other bits on my blog.
I have put a link to the song I have chosen to do and put a copy of the lyrics on my blog.
Week 12- This weekend I went out and started my filming. Because a big bit of my video is going to be miming to the lyrics I can film it at school in front of a plain background. At the weekend I went up to Berry Head to film bits of scenery to fill bits of my video. I need to go down to a beach and use a male and female but the weather wasn't good enough this weekend.
Week 13- Today I am going to do the miming part of my video in school. I will use a green screen and change it to a plain pastel colour; like Jess does in her video. I will only do this for each of the chorus's else it will get too repetitive and boring.I am going to do it for each chorus's because else it won't look right if I only do it once.
Week 14- I have done some more of my filming and have uploaded it on to the mac and now I just need to start editing it all together and fitting it in with the song. I will play around with different special effects and see what looks best.

Music Video Questionnaire

"Judas"- Lady Gaga
The song Judas by Lady Gaga was released on April 15, 2011. The video of Judas is in narrative format and the main theme is betrayal by the person she loves. The video is a modern depiction of Jerusalem, in which Lady Gaga plays the role of Mary Magdalene; torn between two men Jesus and Judas. There are biblical symbolisms and mise en scene throughout which indicate this, one being the crucifixes on her costumes.
One short scene shows Lady Gaga standing on a rock, being covered by the sea. This has connotations of cleansing and baptism, whilst also relating to the painting “Birth of Venus” the Goddess of Love.
Although the video is mostly narrative, there are various performance aspects throughout. The style of the song is upbeat, and typical of a mainstream pop song.
"If I were a boy” - Beyoncé Knowles
“If I were a boy” by Beyoncé Knowles, was released on the 12th of October 2008. The songs main plot is the difficulties of relationships, and the inequality between the sexes. The music video reinforces this idea, through a narrative of a male and female role reversal. For the majority of the video, Beyoncé is shown going to work and ignoring her supportive husband. Her behaviour is striking to the audience, who see her as ignorant, selfish and not really interested in her partner. Midway through the video the roles switch, revealing the couples reality. This is when it is revealed that she was showing how life is for her and that her husband is actually the police officer and she is the one he isn't taking much interest in. The audience then feels sympathy for the female, and questions the accepted behaviour of both genders. It gives you mixed feelings on the couple and who is actually in the wrong and whos side we should take.
One main scene is the role switch and when it is fully revealed. Beyonce is seen flirting with another man, and when confronted she states he is “so jealous”. The roles then change, and the scene is shown reversed. The dialogue in this scene helps emphasize the feeling of inequality whilst helping the audience relate.
Voyeurism is included when we see the shot of Beyonce in the changing room getting undressed. There is a mid/close up of her chest and body in just her work trousers and bra. The dress that she is wearing in the above photograph is very tight to show off her body.

Style
The video opens with a short dialogue of the woman and man, describing the important factors of relationships. This scene adds impact to the message of the video.The film is shown in narrative form, although there are short performance scenes at the end. This is after the audience understands the full meaning of the song. The whole video is shown in black and white, showing the opposite nature of men and women. Black and white makes it more effective and sets the scene.
