My research on what makes a good music video-

What makes a good Music Video?

I have conducted research through a questionnaire that i handed out to my targeted audience. I have deduced the main and most common points from the research.

• Needs to relate to song

• Context makes sense

• Not just of one object or person all the time (has variety)

• Depending on target audience the dancers, actors, actresses need to dress to target them. E.g. men would like to see women with less clothing, rock fans may like to see the band with the latest gear such as latest conversers

• The setting where it’s based and does it relate to the song

• Good music and beat

• Lighting and how it reflects the singer

• Bright not too dull

• Time of day

• Not too many people in one shot as it gets confusing and too busy

• The music video needs to make sense

• Don’t film the video in too known places e.g. London (it looks cheap)

• Good dancers

• Maybe put a bit of humour into it

• Actors and actresses need fit the song. E.g. if song is full of attitude need an actor who can express de attitude to fit the song

• Graphic matches

• Attractive actors, dancers etc.

• A story line

• Black and white videos (depending on context)

• Shot with the actual artist in so they can become recognised

• Two sided story ( husband and wife)

• Cut-ins

• Change in colour

• Depending on audience add things that may target and relate to them for e.g. for teenage audience it would most likely to consist of sex, drugs and alcohol
