Final music video task
After our preliminary music video we had to film another music video which will be our final one. I am really excited to film this one as I feel like after the first one I have a good understanding of music videos and how to record and film them.
Selection of the song
Before selecting the song we choose our social issue. The social issue was women abuse so we decided to choose a song that went with our song. After going through a couple of songs we came across the song BEKHAUFF and just by listening to it we knew that this will be perfect for our social issue.
Artist: Sona Mohapatra
Album: Satyamev Jayate 2
Song: Bekhauff
Genre: Indie Rock
Released: 2014
Finalising the music video genre
The genre for our final Music video is the same as the preliminary music video which is INDIE ROCK. It is genre of music and cult following of younger generation which is striving to be different from pop music followers. Music is often “underground”, not known to popular audiences because of independent record labels. It was originated in the United States and United Kingdom in the 1970s.
The subgenre will be sad core and motivational.
Sadcore is characterised by bleak lyrics, downbeat melodies and slower tempos, or alternatively, songs with deceivingly upbeat melodies that are simultaneously characterised by depressive lyrical undertones or imagery. It is a loose definition and does not describe a specific movement, group or scene. It is categorised by All Music's reference guide as music for the depressed. Sadcore is sometimes considered synonymous with the term slowcore, and both share the distinction of often being dismissed as a label by the bands they would describe.
Motivational music's main elements are the Chord progression, the rhythm structure, the melody line and finally the Instrumentation. A good motivational music is something elevates a person's feeling basically from sadness to happiness. It is when a person can relate to the song lyrics and get inspired by them. It also changes from person to person ones motivational music may not work for others.
Codes and Conventions
General codes and conventions Mise En Scene Editing Camera Props to help tell story. Make-up to match the theme. Lighting to enhance mood of song. Colours to represent mood/ theme of song. Cinematic effects and filters are often used to make the music video feel like a mini movie. A lot of speed changes are used (usually slow to create a sense of time running out) Extreme close ups to show artists/actors to represent emotion of song through facial expression. Many establishing shots are used on the performance of the whole band. A typical indie rock music video, like most music videos, are about image. Whether it’s about the artist with a particular look or the whole video as a whole eg. A certain theme running through it. It is common for the image of the artist and the theme of the video to relate to enhance the overall product. Indie rock bands and any other type of rock band would usually use a lot of performance in their music videos and less narrative because a lot of these artists play music for themselves and not the industry.
Performance For indie rock bands, performance is a key element in their music videos to show off their energy or passion to attract an audience to their live shows. Only very few music videos are only of performance and vice versa, but usually a typical indie rock music video would have both a performance and narrative element.
Narratives in indie rock videos are usually deeper than that of pop videos due to the artist’s song writing. Indie rock videos tend to have a cinematic feel depending on budget so it would get more online views to make more money.
Lyrics with Translation
Deewarein oonchi hai, galiyaan hai tang
Lambi dagar hai par himmat hai sang
Paanv pe chhaale hain, saansein buland
Ladne chali hoon azadi ki jung
The walls are high and streets are narrow,
the path is long but I've courage with me,
There are blisters on my feet, (but) breaths are high [as in, my morale is high]
I've started to fight the fight of freedom.
Bekhauf aazaad hai jeena mujhe
Bekhauf aazaad hai rehna mujhe
I've to live fearless, free.
I've to live fearless, free.
Reeti ki zanjeerein kha gayi zang
Nyaay ke mandir bhi ho gaye bhang
Zamaana chale na chale mere sang
Bolungi halla, aawaz dabangg
The chains of traditions have been rusted,
and even the temples of justice have been broken.
whether the world moves with me or not,
I'll launch an attack, in a loud voice.
Bekhauf azaad hai kehna mujhe
Bekhauff azaad hai rehna mujhe
I've to speak out fearless and free.
I've to live fearless, free.
Chotein jism par marham umang
Laash nahi hoon mann zinda patang
Dil mein ummeedein aur khushiyon ke rang
Har aansoo banega ik nayi tarang
There are wounds on my body, and enthusiasm is the ointment,
I am not a corpse, (instead) my heart is a living (flying) kite,
There are hopes in my heart and colors of joys,
every tear will become a new wave (of happiness)..
Haan.. bekhauf azaad hai behna hai mujhe
Bekhauff azaad hai rehna mujhe
Yeah, I've to flow, free and fearless.
I've to live free and fearless.
Deewarein unchi hain, galiyaan hain tang
Lambi dagar hai par himmat hai sang
Paaon pe chhaale hain, saansein buland
Ladne chali hoon aazaadi ki jung
Bekhof azaad hai jeena mujhe
Bekhoff azad hai rehna mujhe
