Hello!

Hello! Louise here, finally got round to setting up a blog for this years coursework. This time instead of the fun of thriller, we are creating a music video!


In our first few lessons we did some textual analysis of some famous music video directors ...
Mark Romanek
- Jay-Z - 99 problems
- Johnny Cash - Hurt
- Audioslave - Cochise
Spike Jonze
-The Pharcyde - Drop
- Fatboy Slim - Praise
- Weapon of Choice
Michel Gondry
-The White Stripes - Hardest Button to Button
- Kylie Minogue - Come Into My World
-Foo Fighters - Everlong
-Bjork - Army of Me
- Massive Attack - Protection
Jonathan Glazer
- Jamrioquai - Virtual Insanity
- UNKLE - Rabbit in Your Head Lights

and Chris Cunningham
-Aphex Twins - Come to Daddy
- Windowlicker
-Bjork - All is Full of Love
-Madonna- Frozen


Personally out all of these directors, the two i like the best are Michel Gondry and Chris Cunningham. theyre work is mainly concept based with a small mix of narrative and performance, i feel that concept based music videos attract more audience attention as they are generaly more interesting to watch.

To be continued......

wow louise oyu've done so much before you added me to the blog lol!
....i dunno what i can add now thats pretty much all that we've been doing. i really like that you've put up all the directors we've been looking at , and how we chose our song.
the list of ideas is good but i think we need to produce some storyboards as it is hard to visulise the ideas without seeing what we mean?
only problem is neither of us is great are great drawers or at least i'm not...
