Hard Day's Night - The Beatles;

This is the video for the song Hard Days Night - The Beatles


What makes this video interesting to the audience !?
The beginning of the video makes us wonder what is occurring.
Also it is rather unusual to have a chase scene in a music video.


Does it suggest anything about the artist !?
The screaming fans suggest that they are popular.
There are a majority of girls there suggesting that their target audience is teenage girls.
There suits, haircuts etc suggest that they are fashionable.
The artists are shown to be running and laughing, this portrays them as fun.


Does it match the song !?
I believe that it does match the song, mainly because the lyrics match the song.
The editing is also fast pace, much like the song.
The artist's are running, this also adds to the speed of the song.
And also the song is saying a hard day's night, this is clearly meaning working for their product,
and then being chased and demanded by all these fans and they constantly work.

Aphex Twins - Come To Daddy

This is the video of the Aphex Twins; Come to daddy.


We have been studying briefly the key conventions of this video
- We believe these are that the mood of the song is interpreted by the video,
- colours used also help deter the mood
- there are special effects used
- some sequences could be interpreted as fantasy
- there are also a lot of mise - en -scene elements also

Task;

Our task is to produce a five minute long music video within our group.
In our group there is Laura Steward, Nichola Pritchard, Jessica Tilley and myself.
We have not yet arranged our music.
We have however been looking at various music videos.
A few of these are;
Fatboy Slim - Weapon Of Choice
Keri Hilson - Return the Favour
Junior Senior - move your feet
UNKLE - Rabbit in your headlights
Aphex twins - Come To daddy
K.I.G - Heads, shoulders knees and toes.
These videos vary in style and also the music differs. Creating different effects upon the audience.
