A music video requires several key elements: - A song/tune that provides the soundtrack, which may include lyrics; - Filming equipment like cameras to capture footage; - A cast of people to appear and act in the video; - Locations where the video will be shot; - Costumes, props, and visuals that relate to the song's theme and lyrics; - Editing of the footage to match the rhythm and story of the song. Most music videos are 3-4 minutes long but some more cinematic videos can be longer, aiming to convey a narrative over the course of the song.

Task 2:Music Video Recipe


TASK 2: Write a recipe for a music video using the
information you have found and write a recipe
about what you see/need in ALL music videos;
whos in them? How long are they and what do they
show? Do they link to the lyrics?

For a music video, you need


A tune- this could possibly include lyrics in this as
well, either for part or the whole of the music video.
Camera- this is needed to film the music video with,
so every music video will need this.
Cast- this is needed so that there are people to act in
the music video.
Location- this is obviously needed so that there is
somewhere for the music video to be filmed and
based at. You would probably want to use more than
one location, to make the music video more
interesting for the viewers.
Costume to match the song- this is not always in
music videos, sometimes the costumes dont match
the song but mostly they do as it looks better that
way.
Possible props to suit the lyrics- these are needed, so
that the props in the video link to the music and the
lyrics in the song, so that the video can help to tell a
story.
Duration- Most music videos are around 3-4 minutes.
Although, there are some narrative music videos that
are longer than this (for example up to 6 or 7
minutes) as they tell a longer story throughout the
video.

Target audience- you need to know your target


audience because then you know whom you are
aiming your music video to, and who you think will
watch your music video.
Camera shots- you need to use a variety of camera
shots in a music video, so that it is interesting for the
viewers to watch. For example, you should use a
variety of long shots, close ups, angle shots, tracking
shots, pan or tilt shots, establishing shots, etc
Sound- in a music video you would have to decide if
your going to use diegetic or non diegetic sound, this
is either you have just the sound from the music in
the video, or you also include some sound from the
noises made while filming. You would also have to
consider whether you are going to use some sound
effects or not in a music video.
Editing- you would need the right software to use to
edit a music video. Also, you would have to make
sure that it is edited to match the song. This could be
by using cuts to the beat of the song, or using special
effects which match the song, or add to the song of
the music video.
Identify representation- you have to think about how
you would want the cast to be represented, and how
they are going to look in the music video. This could
be from the way that they act or dance in the music
video.
Audiences targeted Emotional Response- you would
have to consider what response you want from your
target audience after watching your music video, and
what emotions your video is going to play on. This
could be, for example fear, love, happiness, heart
warming, crying (emotional).

What do you see or need in ALL music


videos?
What you see/need in ALL music videos is
A cast. This varies from 1 person to hundreds of
people.
A location. This again varies from only one location
used, to having used hundreds of places in the video.
Sound. Whether it is diegetic or non-diegetic, or if
there are sound effects or extra sound or not there is
always sound in a music video.
A tune. This is either just the tune of the music in the
video, or just an instrumental in the video. There
could also possibly be lyrics used as well. The lyrics
are always shown at some point in music videos with
the actor(s)/cast miming or singing them.
