G-Dragon- Crooked

G-Dragon is a member of a south korea boy band BigBang. this is one of the music video i really like.

I have to say, the favourite part of this video is the visual effect, at least 25 different costumes in some different style: smart, casual, club, rock, etc. Costume is the main part of Most of GD's video, as he is  one of the most popular stylist in Asia.

cinematography are really simple- most of are mid shot, and close up, two kind of shot can express the costume and make-up. pan and tracking shots used when he is running or moving etc.
cross cut been used at the beginning to cross 6 different scenes showing he walking in the street. fast cut been use to show GD in different costumes.

the colour wash in this video makes the whole video looks even more cool and stylish.- bit brown to shows vintage.


we will consider to do in this stylish feeling and fast cut and straight cut been use a lot when costumes changed.




Katy Perry- The One That Got Away


This is another video inspired me.



In this video, we can see there are two stories going on and been combined together. Director use montage to telling stories of a girl in present and the past.
In the scenes of past, brown colour wash been use to show that was long time ago.  if we look at the Mise-en-scene we see that where its happening and who they are. the clothes shows that they live together and makes us realize that they’re a couple. 

Brown colour wash did not been use in the present scene,instead of that, is really bright.the two colours lighting shows clearly the two story not at the same time. The make-up of Katy in the present was brilliant. -as an old lady, the mise-en-scenes are grey hair and crinkled skin which show that a lot of time past by since she was with her boyfriend


we will consider to do two stories going on of a person, and make-up of the person are changed a lot to shows the times difference.

9. Music director














Francis Lawrence is an American Music video, film, television director and producer. He has directed plenty music videos with the world most popular singers such as, Run The World by Beyonce, Circle by Britney spears and Bad Romance by Lady Gaga etc.





Lady GaGa:"I wanted somebody with a tremendous understanding of how to make a pop video, because my biggest challenge working with directors is that I am the director and I write the treatments and I get the fashion and I decide what it's about and it's very hard to find directors that will relinquish any sort of input from the artist. But Francis and I worked together. It was collaborative. He's a really pop video director and a filmmaker. He did I Am Legend and I'm a huge Will Smith fan, so I knew he could execute the video in a way that I could give him all my weirdest, most psychotic ideas,But it would come across to and be relevant to the public."

My favorite music video he directed is Bad Romance by Lady GaGa, the costumes and make-up with attractive and different: normal make up, 'huge eyes make up' and 'without make-up'make up.

8. The permission to use the track


To RCA Records

We are writting to you this message because as a A-level midea student we need to pick a track and create a new video for our course work. And the track we have chosen is Perfect by P!nk. We are asking that could we have a permission for maling a music video for this song? We promise we won't get any money from it and it only for our education.

Kind regards,
Saarah and Jing

7. Things to consider

Lipsyncing is a very important thing in a music video. We decided to use close up and mid shot of showing a person singing along with lighting. Also we would use mid shot and long shot of showing the person walking on the street and singing. We will carefully and make sure the lipsyncing could match with the music.

An expamle of this could be the following video.




Lighting is another thing we chosen to consider. we would use plenty different lighting, including different color lighting, flash light, etc. And we considered clubs could be good place to film.


We inspired by the music video 'slow down' by Selena Gomez.





Costume and Make up-We are going to make a contrast between two different appearance. One is geek another one is gorgeous and how she changes. we would like to use some at least 5 different costume and make up in the whole video. 

We inspired by the below music video by Katy Perry.
