Music channels our song would fit into to

When looking for the music channels that our song would fit into perfectly, we decided to use SKY seeing as SKY is one of the biggest TV providers that has the most music channels available.
The music channels ranging from Mtv Hits, MTV Music, Kerrang!, Flava, Q, Kiss, MTV Base, 4 music, The box and many more were show on sky.
The channels that we personally felt our Indie genre music video would fit into were,

• MTV Hits




• Kiss




• Flava




• Q




• 4 music
  

These are our six potential channels.
We chose these because we felt they suited our music video and our specific audience would go onto these channels and watch music from here.
. 4 music is about the festivals and Indie genre, where our music would be based seeing as we have a indie genre.
. MTV Hits shows all the biggest hits of the month, ranging from Indie to pop, as we feel our music video will be extremely successful, it could be on this channel.
.Kiss has recently started to show not only R&B songs but also a slight range of Indie songs, it has evolved into a wider range. Showing that Indie music is on its way up! Our Indie genre song could be the music video to make the wider range more popular.

Mood board

My group and I created a mood board and put all our ideas for the music video together. This shows how much research we have done into our music video and how much creativity we have as a whole group. We focused on our genre and our audience.

Here are some pictures of not only our mood board that shows the lyrics, words and pictures surrounding it but pictures of us making it as well. It was essential for our lyrics to be part of the mood board so that viewers could see where we were getting our ideas from.

The pictures in the mood board are showing drugs, indie characters and indie locations. We did this to see our ideas on paper to see if they worked.

Editing of music videos

The Man who cant be moved - The Script



In the video the man who cant be moved the pace of the editing is calm and slow while following Danny the lead singer around while he is waiting for the girl he loves. The music video is a narrative base video. Long shots of him are used to show the scene around him and what he is doing, there are also close up shots shown when he is walking, just his head is dominant in the video, the more close ups of the lead singer the better because close ups are in demand in the music industry.
Half way through the music video, the band are seen performing, close ups of each band member are shown, this puts emphasis on the artist or bands face for promotional reason.
A pan shot is used to follow the movement of the lead singer on his journey, making the video seem more realistic and make the viewers feel like there walking with the band member too.
The pace of the editing throughout this song is always in sync with the beat of the track.

Barney Rubble- The Twang




In the video Barney Rubbles by The Twang the camera movement in editing uses all different tracking shots such as pans and dolly track shots. The transitions and cuts through out the video are fast paced and the jumps between each cut are quick. The cuts change to random things through out the song and only half way through does the cuts start making sense. The cuts jump from a scene of the location to the artist to the instruments and vice-versa.

Spaceship- Dappy and Tinchy Stryder


In this music video the cuts are quick and the video over all has a fast pace to it. A tracking shot is used, it is a performance and narrative based video. Close ups are shown of Dappy and Tinchy Styder often, Long shots, showing scenery and setting are also shown.
