We decided to base our video on a song called 'The North Stands for Nothing' by While She Sleeps. They are a metallic hardcore band so we decided to look at a few bands videos of the same genre to get an idea of what to include in our own video.

While She Sleeps - Crows

Architects - Learn to Live

Bring Me The Horizon - Shadow Moses

Asking Alexandria - A Prophecy

10 Key Features of a Music Video

After analysing various music videos, we have picked out 10 key features.


  • the video always reflects the theme and story of the song.
  • the performer usually lip syncs some or all of the lyrics of the song.
  • the video is used to promote the song.
  • the videos usually show a lot of emotion.
  • the style of the video depends on the genre of the song as it has to appeal to the target audience.

Introduction

Natalie and Parris' summer task blog. In this blog we will be analysing music videos that will help us create our own music video. In the music video we will be creating, we will be experimenting with different camera techniques and ideas. So that in our main task we will have a better understanding of what makes a good music video.
