Music Video research

DEFINITIONS:

Promo Video: A promo video aims to advertise the product that is featured in the video i.e. the music and the artists involved.

Trailer: A short video with various clips of a movie that usually tells the viewer what the film is about and gives the audience an idea whether or not they would enjoy it.

Both of these items intend to avertise in order to promote a business and encourage success.


INTIAL IDEAS:

We had quite a few ideas to start with for our project. Our very first idea was to animate toys and use them for our music video. We decided against this as taking frame by frame shots of inanimate objects is rather tedious and time consuming.

We even had an idea to make a rap video just for jokes which would include lip sync and other "various" skills like dancing and such, but we decided not to go with that idea.

Instead we have chosen a song called "Fraud" and we will create masks for students to wear which will show them escaping from an exam room in order to show "rebels" and what not. Hopefully our final production turns out to be a fun and enjoyable process.
