Different Representations

The different sequences represent the various music video genres which we may think about doing.

The first scene is meant to represent a dark rap genre, very much like what we want to do for our actual music video. The camera goes in and out of focus while the character is in shallow focus the entire time. This is perfect for representing the emotions of the character to fit in with the genre. The other ideas consist of performance, spectacle and image,

The second one is meant to show image. He is walking slowly and the camera pans around him and his torso is in view the entire time. This represents him image, the way he is walking and the clothes he is wearing.

The third is meant to be a mix of image and spectacle, with both genres combining to represent the genre of rap. This is done by the way the artist is presenting himself as well as the effects on screen.

The final scene shows performance. In this scene it is only meant to show the music which is being played without any presentation of image. The mise-en-scene shows the piano and nothing else is really visible other than me playing it.
