Music videos have a lot of forms and conventions that we tried to follow when making our own, we had a lot of inspiration from many other artists in our chose genre. We chose to do a disjuncture video, of which the conventions are that the song does not have to match the video as Goodwin highlighted. We followed most of the pop video conventions like repetition of shots and our artist also looks straight at the camera.
The above Prezi is of our three most influential videos put together on Prezi, it covers the most influential aspects of the chosen videos and how they came to together.
This video further explains what the Prezi touches on in much more detailed and also does some side to side comparisons of real media products next to our Music Video.
A scene from Nas' one mic that inspired our own video, the scene uses a person in the middle of the screen just like I am in the center and people running past him but in slow motion. We thought this was very powerful because it promotes the artist and it develops the conventions of real hip-hop videos.
The first image is a real life advert made for the artist J. Cole who just released his debut album last year so he's a new artist just like C. MOORE, the two adverts have some similarities since they both heavily promote the artist, using pictures and big letters to show off the artist names. Mine is really simple just like the other one because it has the name of the artist in big bold letters and also has a picture of the artist as the main focal point of the whole advert, this is extremely conventional in Hip-Hop music and I chose to use that idea.
This is another advert used in real life that I got some inspiration from, the artist is a major player in the hip-hop game and he still uses the same types of advertising ventures as new artists like J. Cole and Tyler, the creator. The conventions of hip-hop advertising are that the artist name has to be very visible as well as the artist himself being a selling point and I think my work illustrates these conventions well because our artist is on the forefront of the advert and the digipak uses the same types of conventions present in contemporary hip-hop music.
Finally this is the bag cover of my digipak and it was majorly influenced by that of Big Sean who is also a new artist and they have some similarities, with the use of dull background colour which brings the artist out there a bit more and also the writing is conventional. I chose to challenge only certain aspects of this genre like not putting on jewellery and showing off, which has become a part of this genre in recent years as is evident on Big Sean's digipak picture above but altogether I chose to either use or develop the conventions of this genre like, advertising the artist and using eye-catching covers with names big.
These two images are here to show how the artist C.MOORE (bottom) & Example (top) have similarities the reason this is important is because this comes under mise-en-scene when looking at what links the music video and ancillary work. It is important that the artist dress according to the genre in which he exists so that's why it's a good thing for the audience because they can relate him to a certain type of genre. The significance of these images is that our artist and Example are both wearing checkered shirts, something very common in the UK hip-hop scene and something our audience will recognize straight away.
This is a music video that inspired me quite a bit only because the music video doesn't have much link to the album cover all except the fact that it is a means of promotion for the album and the single. The way it influenced my work was that we also chose to make the music video very promotional for the artist, so we had C.MOORE on every scene just like this video and also it looks similar to the album.
The first image is the album cover of Tyler, the Creator's album Goblin, he is a relatively new artist just like our artist C.MOORE and they both work within the hip-hop genre. The reason the album cover appealed to me so much to me was because it was so simple yet so effective, the color purple really stood out and at the same time it didn't over power the artist himself so it was still promoting him. I think my work develops the conventions of standard hip-hop albums mainly because it promotes the artist and also is very eye-catching which is heavily necessary for a new artist especially in the hip-hop genre.
