Directors commentary script
Q1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms + conventions of real media products?
Livvy: The genre of the song we chose was folk rock/ indie, which gave us a wide range of possibilities for our music video, as the conventions were very open. The main convention was it could be artistic and very creative, but also we had to avoid mixing it with the genre conventions of pop music. We decided to emphasis the main convention by our main character in the narrative being a mime, which is a very profound and skilful art form.
Rachel: Our music video is controversial to many conventions of real media products as usually there is a link present within the video to the lyrics of the song. Although some actions of the mime are featured in the lyrics, for example the mime making a heart shape with his hands to the lyrics ‘loving somebody doesn’t make them love you”, the plot of a mime love story is totally unrelated to the song. This gives a unique twist to our music video that perversely conforms to conventional music video requirements of selling the artist and attracting viewers.
Maura: By shooting a lot of our footage in a natural environment like the park scene we also followed the other conventions of a folk rock video as many include natural instruments or just singing so the setting goes well with what the music is about such as in Bon Iver’s video Holocene where it is set in a very natural outdoors setting.
Rachel: Our music video uses the conventions of other music videos by using footage of the artist throughout quite a lot of the video and shows them singing to the camera so that it is clear who the artist is to the audience. A lot of these shots are close ups so that we could comply to the demands of the record label which are to sell the artist as a product and to ensure the audience knows who the are. We also used notions of looking (voyeurism) as the mime is looking longingly at the girl within the video as he is trying to get her attention, which is similar to other music videos.
Maura: Although I think to improve we could have used more props for example a guitar as they are usually included in folk rock videos and I think it would have made it even clearer what genre it came from.
Q2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
Livvy: Our music video and ancillary products (a magazine advert and a digipak) have a very strong link, even though we didn't directly use images from our music video. We thought that it would be better if we used a strong theme that linked the two products with subtle reference to the music video, as if it is a complete package. We chose the theme of circus advertisements, but not modern times advertisement, but older, almost Victorian style. In the planning phase we found a film called "Les Enfants du Paradis" which we found had a really nice feel to it and this made us choose this style.
Rachel: The aim of this style is to make the audience feel as if by getting the digipack they are being admitted to the weird and wonderful world of Jack Johnson the artist and would get access to exclusive behind the scenes action such as on the video set and tour, which we have included as two of the special features of the digipack. All three products work together to create a slightly eccentric view of the artist that encourages them to want to find out more by buying the products.
Rachel: The unique and unusual theme of mime artistry promotes the artist as he is shown to stand out from other conventional artists that may conform to regular music video ideas.
Maura: We could have however done a lot more with this and added more to our DVD by creating and inside design which used the juggling balls in more focus which I believe would have worked well in the place where the DVD itself would go as the shape of both would fit together. But overall I feel that we were able to create three products that when seen next to one another it would be clear that they were all related to the same video.
Q3. What have you learnt from your audience feedback?
Livvy: The feedback we got from our audience was in general positive, they said our lip-syncing was of a high standard, which has taught me that the method of putting markers on our music track, to mark when the beginning of versus and choruses, worked well. Although they said our music video was to narrative heavy, so it would have been useful if we had filmed more scenes of the artist singing.
They also enjoyed our use of multiple locations because they found it made the video more varied and interesting, thus making it more watch-able.
Rachel: The feedback from the rough cut showed us that we needed more close ups on the artist as we hadn’t got and it wouldn’t sell the artist enough but the lack of close ups until the end did make the ending where the two mimes meet very powerful. Our final cut feedback showed us that although we had increased the number of close ups there was still not enough so in future products we need to include more.
Maura: I think we have developed our video a lot from when our rough cut had feedback as one of the main points for that was to change the tone of the video and we done this by using filters so the whole mood of the video is changed. They also said that they did not see enough of the performer so we added some shots of him so that it would break up all the scenes of the mime.
Q4. How did you use media technologies in the construction, research and planning and evaluation stages?
Maura: Throughout the process I have learnt how to use many different types of technology and been able to develop skills on those I have used before. The first thing I used when in the planning and research stage was ‘blogger.com’ this is where all my research and planning would be displayed. To research into music videos I used youtube.com which was able to give me so many music videos and ideas as to what kind of thing is usually included in different music videos.
Rachel: Final cut was used a lot during the production of our music video and it helped a lot to create the old style atmosphere of the video because of the wide range of effects it has on offer such as the noise filter and colour corrector we used to make it look dark and grainy and in the style of old mime films. Photoshop was useful for creating the digipack as it allowed us to edit the circus poster and ticket we found to show the information we wanted to include.
Livvy: In the construction of our music video we used HD handheld cameras, which were easy to use and gave use the opportunity to film close up shots without the camera feeling overpowering over artist and mime.
Having a blog was also very useful to us in the research and planning stage, and the evaluation stage, because it meant all our work was online so we could look at home, or in college, or blog articles where ever we were, if we suddenly found inspiration or found a good location etc. Using a blog also meant our work was neatly stored, and made it easier to link all our products together as we could get inspiration for work we'd previously done for the Music Video.

Evaluation Questions
1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Our music video uses the conventions of other music videos by using footage of the artist throughout quite alot of the video and shows them singing to the camera so that it is clear who the artist is to the audience. Alot of these shots are close ups so that we could comply to the demands of the record label which are to sell the artist as a product and to ensure the audience knows who the are. We also used notions of looking (voyeurism) as the mime is looking longingly at the girl within the video as he is trying to get her attention which is similar to other music videos within the folk rock genre. A particular example in our video of this which uses lyrics and visuals is where the mime makes a heart shape with his hands around the girl as she walks away down the street as the lyrics say ''loving somebody doesn't make them love you.'' We also used music and visuals by cutting the clips on the beat as it is a reasonably upbeat song so the video is interesting and looks proffesional to the audience. We also edited the footage to look old and grainy like it has come from a mime film and this is also similar to other folk rock artist videos such as those by Bon Iver that have quirky parts to them. We also challenged the conventions of real folk rock music videos by using a mime as the main character in our video as this is very unusual and hasnt been used before.
2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
For our poster and digipack we went for a circus theme in a very old style to keep within the mime theme but to have a variation. To do this we used an old circus poster and edited it to show images of the mime doing different actions such as juggling that he had done within the video so that there was some intertextual references. On the poster we also used an image of the artist as the center point so that the eye would be drawn to this first and the audience would recognise that they are the artist which is the most important thing and is one of the demands of the record label. For the digipack we used an old circus ticket so that it felt to the audience as if by getting the digipack they are being admitted to the weird and wonderflu world of Jack Johnson the artist and would get access to exclusive behind the scenes action such as on the video set and tour.which we have included as two of the special features of the digipack. All three products work together to create a slightly eccentric view of the artist but the whole old circus and mime theme is intrieguing to the audience and encourages them to want to find out more by buying the products.
3. What have you learnt from your audience feedback?
From the initial pitch we learnt that the unusual idea of a mime was very popular as it would allow us to be creative with effects during the editing stage using old dark and sepia tones and making it look grainy and jumpy with a noise filter. It also showed we could be creative with the filming as the mime could be doing several different actions such as juggling and pretending they were behind glass. It also showed us to focus on the hands of the mime as this is an important feature. The feedback from the rough cut showed us that we needed more close ups on the artist as we hadnt got and it wouldnt sell the artist enough but the lack of close ups until the end did make the ending where the two mimes meet very powerful. Our final cut feedback showed us that although we had increased the number of close ups there was still not enough so in future products we need to include more.
4. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Final cut was used alot during the production of our music video and it helped alot to create the old style atmosphere of the video because of the wide range of effects it has on offer such as the noise filter and colour corrector we used to make it look dark and grainy and in the style of old mime films. Photoshop was useful for creating the digipack as it allowed us to edit the circus poster and ticket we found to show the information we wanted to include. It also helped in the planning stages so that we could create a moodboard with all our possible ideas related to the mime and circus theme. Blogger was useful throughout the project to allow us to write our thoughts about how the different stages in the process were going. The HD video cameras were useful for the production of the music video as it allowed us to produce high quality professional footage. Stills cameras were useful for getting shots of us working on location and for use on the digipack and poster.

Digipack Front cover idea
we would like to use a similar idea to the poster for our digipack front cover by continuing the circus theme and use several images of the mime doing actions such as juggling and pretending they are behind invisible glass in the style of the picture below. The image inside the hot air balloon wound be of the artist to ensure we are in-keeping with the needs of the record label to sell the artist however we may not use the hot air balloon within our image.
An idea we had for the cd case area was a very close up picture of a juggling ball as it is circular and fits with the mime theme and also it is the correct shape to be a cd.

Analysis Of Previous Student Music Videos
Group 12 2009
David ford-A long Time Ago
1. Genre Characteristics-
The genre of the video is folk rock, i believe this video presents the genre very well. The use of ordinary clothes such as a shirt and jeans with a hat is consistent with the style of clothing that artists within the genre wear.
The use of a park scene where the artist is on his own is also using another characteristic of the footage being in naturalistic environments and a sense of loneliness.
The colours of the real footage in the park has very bland colouring which is similar to many other folk rock music videos by the use of bold colours being limited as the footage is meant to look as natural as possible.
The use of a guitar is very popular in this genre and the group has used this in their video to emphasize the genre well.
2. Lyrics/visuals
The video makes use of lyrics and visuals well.
One example of this is when the artist sings ''it was a hollywood sky'' the word hollywood is spelt out in the sky of the animated scene.
The whole of the animated sections are narrative and the action corresponds to what the viewer is hearing which is a characteristic of folk rock videos.
Another example of the use of lyrics and visuals is where the lyrics say ''there's a girl by the cigarette machine'' and there is a girl standing in a bar by the cigarette machine.
3. Music/visuals
There is definitely a relationship between the music and visuals as the clips cut at the end of verses and the shots in the park towards the end of the video cut at the end of each bar of music.
4. Demands of the record label
The demands of the record label have clearly been taken into account during the making of this video as the artist is the main character within the sequence including the animated parts so that the audience is reminded who the artist is and so that it sticks in their mind. There is the use of allot of close up shots in the video to emphasise the artist particularly during the park footage.
5. Intertextual references
The music video is similar to that of the video for the magic roundabout fruit party as it uses animation of clay to describe the story.

Feedback from Amar and Andrea
Camerawork - All camerawork good, but need more close ups of artist and mime, and more shots in general of artist. We will possibly do some more filming in class, on site, so we can have these close ups. On the other hand, the lack of close up does make the end scene more powerful, but all the shots at the begining are very similarly framed, so there is need of some variation.
Editing - Possibly a change of tone, so that the music video doesn't look too "concrete" because most of the buildings are grey or beige. Our shots on mill pond are alot better because of the bright greens or the grass and trees, makes the colours seem alot bolder. More frequent shots of performance.
Concept - both really like the idea, and thought thats the ending was beautiful, but we need more close ups.

lyrics for sitting, waiting, wishing
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn't worth never having you
Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Well, if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waitin' on love aint so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn't worth never having you
Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Well, if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waitin' on love aint so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
