Song
Song title
Porcelain
Artist
Moby
Genre
Electronica, downtempo, ambient
What are the conventions of music videos from this genre?
Slow paced
Smooth transition between shots
Relaxed: Shot of landscape to relax the audience (Sun and sea view)
How are you going to meet these conventions in your video?
Style (in-concert and as live footage; animation (stop motion, digital); interpretative; narrative;
impressionist; surrealist; pastiche; parody; referencing; homage)
As the meaning is about so many thing going on at any one time, I am going to film
the exact opposite by filming shots of peaceful scenery along the River Thames and
around Henley. The music videos purpose is to take you away from the busy
environment and give you time to relax. At The end of the video it starts to bring the
audience back into civilisation (cars driving past).
The video together represents the morning, afternoon, and evening of one day.
Lighting
The lighting that I will be using in my video will be mainly natural light throughout the video.
I am using natural light for the purpose that it isnt in your face and the evening when the sun
is setting is the most peaceful time of day.
Locations
Henley river side
King James Field

Research
What music videos have you watched to research your genre?
Or research into my music video I have been looking at very laid back music such as
Moby, Pink Flloyd, Jean Michel Jarre. All These artists make you feel peaceful even
in a busy environment.
How have these videos influenced the decisions made? Include screen shots of the key
influences
These artists have influenced me to use a lot of scenery within my
music video and to take more relaxed approach instead of having
lots going on in the video.
Lyrics
Insert the song lyrics below
In my dreams I'm dying all the time,
Then I wake it's kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you,
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye,
This is goodbye
Tell the truth, You've never wanted me
Tell me
In my dreams I'm jealous all the time,
When I wake I'm going out of my mind
Going out of my mind
Meaning of the song
Does the song have a meaning? If so, what is it?
I believe that the songs meaning is that the world is such a diverse place, and that so
many things are going on at any one time and everything constantly changes. So
sometimes the best thing to do is take yourself away from everything.
How will your visuals relate to the song? (Illustrate, Amplify or Disjuncture)
As the song is very downtempo and ambient, the shots will been more relaxing then
stimulating
