Hi all and welcome to your new BLOG for year 13!
After all the frantic few lessons, presenting your music video analyses, we've just covered SYNAESTHESIA. You can check this on the web but it's also in your packs on pages 13 and 14.
We've focused on how music is made up of differing elements which stem from the various musical instruments and moved on to see how they're used to create a variety of 'shapes' (like Motifs) in the music. These can be used, once you've learnt to identify them, to trigger the creative process in MV storyboarding and planning in TWO main ways:
Each shape can be used to:
1. Trigger an edit point or series of editing points
2. Be used as a guide to how (in terms of direction) you could move the camera. This movement can be in a continual sweep, for example, or in a continual sweep with cuts within the continually progressing movement - so the movement works as one, but there may be scene changes or edits within that movement.
We have also talked about GRAIN OF VOICE which is from BARTHES and Goodwin referred to him when talking about how artists have a particular 'fingerprint' to their voice. Identifying this and believing in the uniqueness of your artist should help you to create a MV that identifies and exaggerates this - amplifying the STAR IMAGE.

Work for Year 13 from Mr Philip
STAR IMAGE IN MUSIC VIDEO
Read page 29-31.
How a star’s image develops over time through music video
"a star is an image constructed from a range of materials" (Richard Dyer)
These materials include
the songs (their lyrical themes and musical structures/genres),
the record covers (singles and albums and the image of the star they present),
media coverage (from interviews about career and private life through to tabloid gossip),
live performance (the image through the stage show)
the music videos, which may draw upon the image presented in each of the other aspects
In groups prepare notes for a power point presentation on a star you want to analyse whose image has changed over time eg Madonna, Lady Gaga. Read page 31 worksheet as a guide to your notetaking. You will present this next lesson.
