to make my music video i used Windows movie maker, as i found it was a simple and familiar editing software that i had used before in my previous edits before i started this course. As my experience with the software grew i learned how to properly use it effectively.
i used Photoshop CS5 to edit my digipak and album cover as i have been using the software for the past 2 years in my photography a level course.
Over the Holiday period i did some practise questions for my exam on Genre, Narrative theory and digital distribution unfortunately i can not up load word files to my blog so instead i have screen printed them to my blog
I have been using windows movie maker to edit my music video. It is a simple editing software however it is easy to use and effective.
This screenshot shows film clips that were shot in the winter in Alton . I chose this location due to the solidarity of the location, i found it suitable to shoot some footage their .
Here are some more clips i shot at West Wittering beach, the location again was suitable for the shoot as the beach was
empty.
Due to the song being about wanting some one back to be your lover, I Decided to cut out words that match the lyrics of the song from different newspapers and magazines. Using the different fonts and colors of the cut out words to add mise en scene in to my music video. i also have incorporated some of the clips from the beach and from the fields in Alton.
Shown here are the recorded clips of the word i cut out from the different newspapers and articles.
Here below is my finished music video

Judith butler argues that all we all put on a gender
performance, boy or girl. The image of ideal men and women has changed
dramatically over the last 50 years or so. However society has turned and faced
the strange.
Ever since the 1980's music videos have become a key element to go with a song and sex does sell. a music video that caused an absolute uproar with in the industry was Duran Duran, "girls on film". The music video really makes the male gaze obvious as seen in these screenshots of the music video.
THE MALE GAZE
Laura mulvey argues that cinema audiences look at films in two ways, Voyeuristically and fetishcally, cinema audiences watch a film without being watched by the characters on screen and usually in a darkened cinema so other audience members do not observe them either.
Mulvey argues that this voyeurism involves turning the represented figure in to a fetish. Mulvey writes about how female actresses must be glamorous and attractive, where as male actors are active, dynamic and not always conventionally attractive.
An example of a woman's character who must be glamorous and attractive is Margot Robbie who plays the character Naomi Lapagli, in the film The Wolf of Wall Street.
We are first introduced to Naomi by the camera panning up her body whilst lying on a bed wearing lingerie. through out the film Naomi is usually wearing tight dresses,lingerie or no clothing at all.
Naomi's role in the film is a good example of the male gaze theory as through out the film the male roles in the film don't really pay attention to her apart from when Leonardo dicaprios character wants some thing either drug related or sexual pleasure.
In this video I got my room mate to watch a music video then I asked him 5 questions relating to the male gaze.
