Assignment 1

In-concert and Live footage

Live footage

This is what is used in music videos where the video starts with the band having a conversations and not performing until a certain part of the music video. This is used to get a look at the band outside of performing to their fans. It is a way to show what they are like as people and what they do in their spare time and when not performing. This is a good way to show live footage as it can make fans more connected as they could be doing what they do and can relate to that.

In-concert

This means that there is footage from a camera or a phone device showing a band performing in concerts to show how the band are like when performing live in front of people. This is a good way to show people what it is like in concerts with the atmosphere it creates with the music the band is performing is what can get people into concerts and into the band which then creates synergy. Also, people would want to buy tickets and this is all from seeing footage from bands performing in-concert.

Multi-image

          Multi-image can be different as you can get split screen with multi image or images that overlap one another. There can also be a  smaller image that is featured on top of the main image. This is used in music videos which can help with the genre and the lyrics. This can be considered another way of parallel editing which is where it shows you two scenes that are happening at the same time. So there  could be a music video using parallel editing as well as multi image to help with the narrative of the song. 

Cutting to beat

 This is a type of technique that is used in standard rock or pop videos. Cutting to beat cuts will cut to a four by four beat. Depending on the pace of the song it will effect the amount of images that you change through out. There are some songs such as drum and pass which will cut to the beat instantly and to images as drum and bass beats work at a fast pace. The director of the music video will use rhythm and pace to help cut the visuals of the song.

Links to Other Artists

Links to artists is as It says is thaqt in a music video there is mention of an other artist which is a link to them. There are two ways that it can be done when linking an other artists within a music video. The first one is where it pays homage to the artist with respect to artist by having lyrics done in a respectful way to celebrate the artist. The second way of linking another artist can be done as a parody for the purpose of mocking the other artist.

Allusion

This in music video context is where the artist or the some part of the music video is calling something to mind but does not mention or say exactly what it is but the audience can tell what the Allusion is about. This can work with music videos as artists can use allusion to help explain about them as a person through the music video.
