2. The Proposal
• I am to make an music video to accompany an
original song that I have written as part of my
extended project.
• I have chosen to do this because I have a personal
interest in music video production and would like
to go further into this business in the future, I
would like to pick up more skills and knowledge
on how to create a music video so that in the
future I am able to create more similar products.
3. Planning
Research:
• Who is the audience?
• What do the audience like to see in their songs/ video
• What will the video look like? 5 hours
• Where can the video be filmed?
• When will the video be filmed and music recorded?
• How will I edit the music/ video/ final production?
Song writing 6 hours
Storyboarding 8 hours
Recording of sound 4 hours
Videoing
10 hours
4. Song Research
Most common song type in the UK is love songs.
Most songs are written through a feeling or motion that the
artist is feeling.
Songs are usually started with lyrics and followed by the
instrumental track.
On the next slide I have shown the first draft of my song that is
currently being adjusted to fit the musical composition.
5. Kiss Goodnight
You kissed me goodnight,
As you went out with the lads, Do you not respect me?
And you said: “baby im all yours”, Do you not believe in love?
You held me so tight , Do you not care…
And you looked into my eyes, What the future holds?
But tonight, You lie and you lie,
I know that was all lies. But isn’t it about time,
For the truth to be told,
Do you not respect me? Before the lies all get old?
Do you not believe in love?
Do you not care… Now it’s time for you to leave,
What the future holds? Got out of my life,
You lie and you lie, You’re the past now,
But isn’t it about time, The future looks bright.
For the truth to be told,
Before the lies all get old? Do you not respect me?
Do you not believe in love?
Its time for you to leave, Do you not care…
And you kissed me goodnight, What the future holds?
But your promise means nothing this You lie and you lie,
time. But isn’t it about time,
Just walk out my door, For the truth to be told,
Just walk out my life, Before the lies all get old?
Now it’s goodbye forever more.
You would hold me so tight,
And whisper “I love you”,
I thought you were mine,
I thought I was all yours.
6. Music video research
• I looked at 4 different music videos that are in
the same genre as mine and have noted down
what I like and dislike about each video, after
doing this I made a decision on what should or
shouldn’t be included in my personal music
video, on the next four sides you will see my
analysis of each video.
