Sub Focus (MK Remix) - Turn it Around

Track: Turn it Around

Artist: Sub Focus (MK Remix)

Year: 2013

Genre: House

Director: 

Music Video:

1) The first point or convention would be the way the song or video follows a single person through a type of journey or a path which they go down to seek something, this is the narrative theory to a music video and we are looking to do suh thing for our own video so I feel that this is a good example to look at when taking into consideration what types of things to put into our own video

2) Another point is the use of the words linking into what is shown on the screen at that moment for example in this music video when the lyrics turn it around are sung then the main character on screen does actually turn around and this can also be of very much use to our music video too due to us having this in our ideas

3) And the final point on this music video that I have highlighted I the way in which a night club is used when the beat drops and the music changes which we also were thinking to do in our own music video due to this factor being a really common convention in house music videos

Shoot 2

For our second shoot we went to the park to get some footage for scene 3 where by the character of the old man would be in the park enjoying his day whilst others, Eg the public walked past not taking any notice of him. We have yet to get feed back from the shot sequence which we have shot on this scene and we have just a few steps to edit before it is finished and due feedback

A couple of challenges we faced were the face that when we wanted some shots of public reactions, there were not people about to get some actual footage of this happening, Also another problem we faced was that when we took some footage of the sky and the clouds moving for a time lapse was that we got some shots of people in the camera which we could have done without, so in terms of editing, then we will have to get rid of this.


The Character of the shoot was Georges mate Harry and we feel that he is a good character to have for the shoot due to his head fitting the mask well and him having the old man clothes too so it works best for us that he will be the main character of the old man

This is some footage which we shot on the shoot to highlight some of the aspects which might need changing and worked well for us.

Research into the House Genre TBC

House music originated in America in the early 1980's in the American city or Chicago. Early house music was generally dance-based music characterized by repetitive beats over and over again which meant that the repetitive rhythm of house was more important than the song itself. House music today, while keeping several of these core elements has changed drastically where by now you get less vocals used in the songs and when you do get some lyrics its only either for a short length of time or is repeated over and over again.

House music also varies a lot in style and choice range, which ranges from the soulful and atmospheric deep house to the more quite slow moving house. Today house music is getting more and more popular and this first started out when iconic pop artists at the time liked and linked their music talents up with some of the house DJ's to collaberate mixes. Some of these artists such as Madonna, Janet Jackson, Björk, Aretha Franklin and Steps all found them selfs mixing into the house genre at the early stages of its existance.

Vinyl Cover for our Track TBC

We have also decided to an added vinyl for our song this is the finished product for the first draft this will include a vinyl and the casing of the vinyl. This is the outside covers for it so far. However we are not too sure weather this will work due to it not being the type of thing that is relavent to out genre ad it doesn't suit the style and types and conventions what would be acceptable to our genre also.
