similar genre videos

Here we did research on other similar genre videos. 

The camera angles in this video are not common, and using shots similar to the slow moving angled ones that this video has would help to make our music video more interesting. Also, the lack of busy movement and sticking to simplicity may be a good contrast for some of our shots.



The vintage, vignette-style effect that this video has would be very interesting to include on some shots in our video to help create a more old fashioned style. This would also allow us to add B-Roll footage in our video, and this can help the audience to connect more with the band, therefore having an increased interest in them.
The performance by the band accompanied by the camera work really suits the fast pace of the song and the genre of it also. Incorporating a mix of quick-paced and slow motion sequences is very engaging.

Band/ Artist research

Honey Blood is a Scottish music duo with a similar image to that of Black honey. Their song super rat is quirky and the music video is fun and creative.
Image result for honeyblood

Ward Thomas is a country duo. Although Black Honey is more indie not country the image ward Thomas have and the style of some of their videos have similar images which could also be used when we build up the image for our artist.



Risk assessment

we assessed the risks which we could encounter whilst shooting.

Star Image Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande like many stars have an acting career as well as a singing career, both which combine to make up her star image. This interview is interesting as it establishes that her acting and singing career show her as two different people which make up her image. she establishes that she is proud to be Sam and Cat on nickelodeon but as she gets older she wants her singing career to be Ariana. both sides of her career remain separate however still make up her image.

One republic- I lived



whilst on youtube I found this music video. it is very inspirational, it not only promotes the song but also cystic fibrosis. It is a narrative which shows the journey of a boy named Brandon and his illness. The music video not only shows the artist singing but also narrates Brandon's journeys throughout the song/ video.  The imagery heightens the impact of lyrics, it highlight the importance of making the most of life's glories.

Song choice

    Black Honey Corrine


we decided to go with the song 'Corrine' by black honey. Although this is a very different song choice to our original ideas, as a group we found we got a lot of imagery and ideas for this song. although it is not particularly our music preference it is a song that will allow us to be creative for our video.

Final construction

This is our final music video.
