Directing Actors

Directing Actors

Another one of my roles in producing the music video was directing actors. 

This means that I had a huge say in what the actors did and how the actors acted.

I focussed on these specific points 

  • Facial Expressions
  • Body Expressions
  • Actor Movement
Basically, I am going to work on everything the actors should do to successfully create a music video.

Here are a few examples of what my role included.


In this clip, you can see both actors, with their arms around each other to create the effect. 

This caused the viewers to see the love these two individuals have, therefore adding to the plot. 

Their facial expressions make them look as if they are really into the game that they are playing, therefore, showing that they have passion for not only the game but for each other.


In this clip, we can see both actors walking down a long street coming up to Buckingham Palace. 

As the man is a tourist, I got him to point around, this, therefore, made it seem to the viewers that the man is very interested in the scenery, therefore, showing the passion he has for the area.

In this clip, we can see the two actors watching a magician in Covent Garden. 

The look on the actor's faces clearly shows their enjoyment and attitude to the magic, the love and the area they are in. 

We can see the man's arm around the girl, which shows affection and love which would further adds to the romantic feel of the music video.





































In this clip, we can see a direct shot of the man, laughing at the girl who is not in a shot at the moment. We can see the pure enjoyment in the man's eyes with his facial expressions. The man in this clip is clearly expressing himself as being extremely happy as we can see the man smiling with his teeth on show. Not only does this show the man's enjoyment, it tells the viewers that the man is happy with the girl and that he is excited to explore London with her.

To conclude, as you can see, my role had a significant impact on the music video. Although these are only a few examples of what I did, hopefully, it clearly demonstrates what I did throughout the filming process.

How do your products represent social groups or issues? My product represents young people and young love. Our piece shows the story of two young people who fall in love and begin a long-distance relationship. In our piece, the audience may find comfort in the portrayal of the struggles of long-distance relationships. Our music video also includes scenes in London and can represent the people who live/the people who have longed to go and visit London for its many wonders. Our product also represents the issues that come along with a long-distance relationship. Long-distance relationships are frowned upon, this, therefore, goes against this and shows to the audience that long-distance relationships are okay, and that love is OK no matter how and where it takes place. My piece also represents the struggle with language barriers. There is a tiny percentage of people who commits to a partner who doesn’t speak the same language as them. Our piece has hopefully opened the eyes of the audienc

differences between single artists and band videos

What are the differences between single artists and band videos? Single Artists Single artists create music videos that are purely based on them, these music videos may have a specific story and there is a lot more freedom in what the artist can do and produce. This may be different from a band video as they have to keep into consideration all the different members of the group and there may need to be adjustments due to other members' personal preferences.  Although this is the case, single artists are usually more mainstream than independent, this means a lot of the choices and decisions would not have been independent choices and would have been the record label and producers' choices.  This is not the case for all single artists, although most artists who create popular music videos are signed to a mainstream record label.  Bands Bands create music videos with all the members working together, contributing and usually is just a video of the band performing rather than a mus

Representation

Representation 'The description or portrayal of someone or something in a particular way.' (google definition) Representation is vital in the music industry, the industry needs to portray different social groups, different areas and different types of people in a respectful way, balancing the correct amount of positive representation and negative representation.  This would prevent social groups from being represented in incorrect ways as well as prevent a negative response from the public once a music video has been published. Representation isn't just social groups, representation is the way people are portrayed, whether its the LGBTQ+ community or different races from all aspects of life, it needs to be controlled and regulated to demonstrate an evolving, equal society Representation comes under these subheadings GENDER AGE  ETHNICITY  NATIONAL/REGIONAL IDENTITY  ISSUES/EVENTS Gender Gender is a great issue in the industry, men have been represented as all-powerful compa
