These videos below are a few examples of videos I have produced. These range from working in small groups, larger groups or on my own, as well as ideas from different sources. I think they represent nicely the process of learning that I have been going through, and show the hard work that I put in to produce a finished piece.

My music video will follow the perspective of Jac Benton in the emergence of a new internet trend – the physical cover up of emotion using masks with smiles on them. It would become ‘popular’ due to the ability to always ‘appear happy’, and the video would start showing Jac Benton without a mask, headphones in and on his phone, watching other groups interact and stare at him (implying the lack of mask as the problem). It would follow him on his journey home, using lip syncing to link his identity as the artist to the video, and he would encounter a couple of different groups as he travels before he’s shown at home, where he opens a delivery that reveals he has bought a mask to conform to the expectations. This entire journey would be punctuated throughout with different scenes from social medias, such as YouTube videos or Instagram posts where masks are unboxed, different stylings are shown or artistic photos or photos with friends. Snapchat would also be used to show more personal m...

My music video to Jon Bellion’s the Internet is a small production aiming to highlight the problems of attitudes and behaviours toward trends and social expectations. The story would include aspects of social media in sharing my trend and the way people then enforce it both within and outside of the realms of the internet. I’m hoping to attract the usual audience of alternative listeners from the perspective of agreement with my message, however the aspect of social media and trends that I’m highlighting will also attract others familiar with that idea, and therefore attract a wider base whether or not they agree with the final message I provide. I am planning to film in other homes and in open areas such as streets and parks to create differentiation between online aspects that would occur in a personal environment versus the greater outdoors where interactions are bound to happen with people you walk past. The equipment needed for filming would mainly be a phone – this would work w...

My music video for ‘The Internet’ will protest the society and expectations set by social media, and how it is frowned upon to show negative emotions when we pick and choose which parts of ourselves to show online. I’m planning to use the idea of masks designed with smiles on them being introduced as a trend so that the image of happiness is constantly upheld and physically shown transferring into the everyday mentality of the internet generation. My two social groups would be the different sides of society, separated by their roles in spreading this mass culture, with one side being the producers (influencers that build the idea online) and the other being consumers (those that then start to enforce the expectation offline), however different groups within that will be shown such as male versus female interpretation. I’m planning to use different social media to portray my idea, so a few locations will be inside influencer homes showing off the product, and others will be outside, p...

For my protest song, I chose Jon Bellion's 'The Intenet' to represent my ideas on how social media users interact and create a further level of society that is more imposed than real life. I felt that although the themes of protest were subtle, a music video could amplify the themes that Jon Bellion uses throughout his songs, and as most of his songs are, the song would be generalised enough to hit a wider audience and still have the same impact of people thinking about what changes the Internet has had on their lives. The song itself uses repetition of the same lyrics throughout, which is interesting as it is, but when paired with the lyrics and the representation of expected attitudes that he provides, the mood created becomes one of passive dismissing. His usual style of music goes well with this theming, as his use of dominant bass and mixing of other sounds create a dark tune until the other voices then override the negative emotions, and his words transition into the...
