Intertextual references

 I wanted to rely on quite a lot of intertextual references, as my video is about the idea of being a child and to value childhood experiences so I wanted to use nostalgia to recognise the audience’s shared experiences of their own childhoods.

Shop products

 

This is the development of the artist’s merchandise, the products are all hand designed and i used the same background as the album cover to increase the brand identity and cross media convergence. The inclusion of the glasses from the video, is a gift to the real fans and gives them the opportunity to own the authentic product from the video, I thought that this would appeal to the aspirational audience.

Music Video progress

 I think my music video is progressing quite well, this week I have completed my first draft and was able to do some elements of the animation, mainly the title and lyric sections. Also I found out what I need to do to further develop my work.

I need to continue the animation to make the the longer sections more entertaining to watch, I also need to shoot some new footage, some of my two main models and also some of my little cousin as this will fit perfectly into the ‘being a child’ message. In addition to this I am going to try and fix the issue of the animated sections looking a different lighting to the main section. As well I need to take some pictures for my artists website.

Stop motion animation for lyrics

 

I started to experiment using procreate and learning how to stop motion animate on my videos, I am using this to show the lyrics during montage sections of the video
