Busted Evaluation-pre production
In order to film it next lesson we had to think about costume and props, we had to bring in 3 electric guitars, school uniform. For the teacher i brought in heels and a black dress. We also needed set/props like desks a white board and a pen but we had all that in school already which was useful.

Analysing music videos
This video is Whitney Houstons 'I wanna dance with somebody'. The first thing that strikes us to this video is the song itself because it is upbeat and fast, which grabs attention to the viewer. This video would be easy to re create because a lot of it, the singer is standing in front of different backgrounds miming to the song. She interacts with what else is going on in the scene. It is a really simple music video because her voice is the main focus point in the video. We would not use the same idea for our video because it is too simple, and there is not much range in the camera shots. Whitney Houston at the time this video was made was at the height of her fame, so she never had to have big budgets to sell her music videos because she was always a big name in the music industry. If we were to create a video which is similiar.
Fame has been our biggest inspiration as want to use a group of dancers in our video. We also like the idea of it being in a school as it gives this community feel. I also like in this video how they have used outside in the street and in dance studios, this use of mise-en scene shows that it is based in a school. I love how the video matches with the song. For example when the music kicks in there is always a slight dance sequence. I also like the way the music video starts with all the characters making their way to the school. This helps to build it up, so the audience are expecting a climax in the song. This relates well with the song structure. Another thing i liked in this was that they had the clips from the movie, so past clips as well as the girl singing to the camera, this helps to tell the story.
This music video is a completely different genre to the other two this music video relflects on the type of band as well. As they are an indie band who are young and modern. The lyrics in the song reflects in the video just like in the other two as well. As the song is about being in the height of "adolecence", so they have made it quite crazy and mad with them dressed in clowns and fighting with what looks like another gang in a secluded area. The camera shots in this is very sketchy and rough, this adds to the effect that they want to give off.
From doing these anaylse i have learnt that the song we choose needs to relate to the video , in order to create the narrative of the song. By doing this it will create a greater impact on the song and will be alot more effective .
