Music video analysis
This video for "Give Me What I Want" by Kids In Glass Houses is really what inspired us for our music video, the reason for this is because it takes place at a house party. As the video starts we see the camera moving at a moderate pace along a brick wall, this is the way the camera stays throughout the video and I think this level of simplicity works in context with the song. As the song starts the first shot we see is of the band, they are dressed smartly which gives us an indication about what the band is like. The camera continues to pan through different rooms of the house and throughout the video we see the same rooms, the same people but the situation changes, this is an aspect I find really interesting within the whole music video. The fact that this video is documenting friends having fun is what really appeals to me. The camera angles,close ups and the way the camera tracks through the video don't change and I think it creates a connection to the auidience and makes us feel like we are expirencing the house party with the band.

In todays lesson we had to think about the Props, Costumes and Locations of our music video and photo shoot but before we could do this we had to decide on a band, we decided to go with some people I knew, the reason for this is because 1: they all play the instruments required for the song and 2: they in real life are part of bands and we felt that this factor would benifit us in the long run because it would make the video look more realistic. We listed all of the things we would need so when it comes to shooting the video and photo shoot we wouldn't be stuck for ideas.
What Will We Need:
VIDEO SHOOT.
LOCATION LIST
HOUSE:The house of one of the band members- this is too film the house party elemant of our music video.
CAFE: A general east london cafe to film the band the morning after the party.
The reason we have chosen to use two location is because we want to keep the video as simple as possible.
PROP LIST
INSTRUMENTS: Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Piano, Micraphones,Amps
LIGHTS: Fairy lights to decorate the house and garden with, in order to create a realistic party setting.
PARTY OBJECTS: Cups (Plastic Red), Drinks, People.
COSTUME LIST
BEN: Ben will be the lead singer and lead guitarist of the band, we've decided we would like him to wear black jeans (or trousers) a smart yet casual t-shirt, and a casual jacket. We have also decided we'd like him in smart shoes (converses,boots ect).
MICAH: Micah will be the pianist for the band, we have decided we like him to be in casual jeans and a general t-shirt and again a casual jacket. We have also deiced we'd like him to wear converses or vans.
SEAN: Sean will be the bands bass player. We would like sean to wear a smart polo shirt and smart jeans, we would also like him to wear a casual jacket. As a group we have decided we would like sean to wear lace up low top vans, in order to create the smart casual look.
JONNY: Jonny will be the bands drum player. We would like Jonny to wear a simlar outfit to Sean and Micah, again to create the smart causal look.
PHOTO SHOOT:
LOCATION:
HOUSE: Micahs house before the party, all the instruments will be set up almost like pre-party, we would also like to have some outside shots of the band with the fairy lights behind them. The shots outside will show the band having fun whereas the shots inside will be the band with there instruments to show what the band is really about.

In todays lesson we looked into audience profiles, we began by looking at examples of real audience profiles this helped us alot because I don't think we understood the role of the audience profile; it gave us all a guide to go on when creating our own profiles. As we created our own audience profiles we thought about what things we like in bands (seeing as we are the same age as our band) and this really helped us in finding out who our audience was.

Music video analysis
In the video for "You and Me" by One Night Only we really get a feel for what the band is about, frienship. At the start of the video we see the band walking across a field getting ready to performe, behind them is their friends an dI think this element of the video is very nice. The video has been shot in Black and White something I find particually lovely about the video because your eye isn't tempted to wonder it's just you, the video and the band and it really helps gage your interest. Throughout the video we see various close ups of the band playing there instruments something that in the music world most band are critisised for ( not actually playing their instruments) and the reason for the close ups of them playing their instruments could be their way of saying, we are a real band. The fact that the band are playing a gig for their friends just goes to show the type of band they are, they like being surrounded by their music and their friends, this is something I would like our video to have elements of.
