Analysis of Similar Products Music Videos
This is the Video from Taylor Swifts song Mine.
In this video the Lyrics to the song have a narative that matches with the narative of what is going on throughout the music video. As both the song and the video shows the story about a troubled relationship of both past and present for the main character who Taylor Swift plays. The setting of which Taylor is shot allown singing also compliments the video as the couple within the music video move to a house surronded by trees itself. The footage is cut to make it seem that there is a link between the what taylor swift is singing and doing on her own and what is going on in the story of the video. There is a great deal of movement in the video whethere this is the camera moving around taylor swift when she is in the forrest surronded by the photos of events in the story and the amount of camera shots there are in the story itself capturing everything that is going on. Even when Taylor Swift is standing alone there are a mixture of medium and extreme close ups on her showing the emotions that she is showing while singing the song/ story. When the tempo of the music increases during the chorus the camera shots cut from one to the other alot quicker which helps capture what is going on in the story. An example of this is the flash backs to when the main character was a little girl and her parents are arguing like what her and her partner are doing in present time. Taylor Swift is shown throught the video lip synicing to the camera as if she is singing directly to the audience, which is called direct address.

Latest tracks by Maisie-Mae
Finally found a way to show you what Maisie sounds like as you can see Maisie has her own style and it has been hard to link her to similar products. This soundcloud has helped us show what we would like to use when we get a hard copy of the music so we can use it as we feel free. This has also allowd us to show that we do have songs that we are going to use rather than us just saying so.
As we have said before the song we like to do is the Nerd Love as it tells a story which can mean it becomes a narrative for the video.

Problems with youtube
At this moment of time we cannot give an example of maisie's song as we are unable to gain access to facebook during school and their are big risks with Maisie putting her songs on youtube.
The main problem is with software such as Orbit Downlader this is because, Orbit Downloader is a download manager for Microsoft Windows. One of the main features of the program is its ability to grab and download embedded Flash Video files from sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, etc. Orbit Downloader also accelerates downloads by acting as a peer-to-peer client, utilizing bandwidth of other users.
This means that other people could in fact take credit for Maisie's work and this is a major concern for her. While this issue is still present we cannot place anything with just her song up onto youtube until we have started placing our clips from when we start filming.

Examples of band websites
Allong with the digipack we have to create for our coursework we also have to create a website for the artist that we have chosen to use in our music video. The following images show the different styles of which the websites can be and how they are set out. It can be difficult to sometimes create proffessional websites but our teacher mr devita has given us a website which allows you to recreate these styles of sites.
When we have found out what style of music we can easily slot our artist into we have can expand more on what type and style of website we will create.

What is a Digipack
Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. Since Digipaks were among the first alternatives to jewel cases to be used by major record companies, and because there is no other common name for Digipak-style packaging made by other companies, the term digipak or Digi-Pak is often used generically, even when the media holder is a hub or "Soft Spot" rather than a full plastic tray.
Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVDigipak) is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets. Because such packaging is less resistant to abrasion than jewel cases, it tends to show signs of wear relatively quickly. Licensed digipak manufacturers such as domestic U.S. printer and disc replicator Oasis Disc Manufacturing recommend coating the raw printed paper with a protective UV coating, thus ensuring greater longevity.

Inital Ideas
Moodbaoard presentation

This was our initial ideas for our project, although we didnt complete the task how our teacher wished.
Mr Devita gave us the idea that we needed to actually get some ideas of who and what we would want to put in a music video. Seeings that we have got an artist lined up already we can now use her music to come up with an idea of how we can create a music video around her and whether our idea would work and whether it would be able to challenge the codes and conventions of a everday music video of the same genre.

Finding an artist
After looking threw our intial ideas which will be posted onto the blog soon. We found a girl in our school that is a really good arttist that has some music which fits in to are three ideas, Hevay metal, Indy pop and 80's rock styles. After seeing this we decided to sign her so she could only make a music video for us, the following image shows Maise signing the contract.
