Album Cover

Tinie Tempah's album cover is very unique as he and his director has carefully chosen the font, the background colour and what type of edits they used. The font is white and very thick and big this is so is it can be seen very easily, the font is sharp and eye catching to the audience. The background colour has vibrant colour which includes pink, purples and blacks and it shows tinie tempah brightening in the background. This is to catch peoples eyes and makes you want to buy the album. 

They have edited the album to make it look like Tinie Tempah holding the whole city in his arms, this shows him dominating the city making him a well known artist. The sparkles make him look glamorous    and amazing.

Top Ten 100 Music Video No. 10

Nirvana / smells like teen spirit / 1991

Nirvana was an American rock band that was formed by singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen,Washington in 1987. Nirvana went through a succession of drummers, the longest-lasting being Dave Grohl, who joined the band in 1990. Nirvana hated the director with a passion and in the song they didnt want to do anything he said and the director had enough with the band so he said they could destroy the whole set and they filmed the set being destroyed and he said it was a beautiful piece of footage.

Song Change

At first i was originally with a member of a pupil in my group, but he decided to leave the group and i had to chose a song to film by myself, but other pupils in a my media class ask if i wanted to become another member so I did and had to change the ideas and views on the song  that I had.

The choice that my new group made was angel - fire but after a few weeks it was taken off Youtube and had been blocked, so we decided to change the whole song again and went with a different song by angel.

Preliminary Video

This is our preliminary video were me and Nadia made a video of 'Don't go breaking your heart' By Elton John. This consisted of us lip syncing to the song and editing the parts to make it look like we are singing the song. Below is the final video that I edited, and i gave it different edits so we was together and both on our on.




 

Preliminary Task

The Preliminary Task is were we was testing our skills on editing and lip syncing with the song, The task we was set was 'Don't go breaking my Heart' By Elton John. We had to get two people to lip sink part of the song and see if we was to sync with the song. This is the most essential part of the song as it brings it all together. Me and Nadia acted out this and it becomes very difficult putting the song together with the lip syncing as you have to alter the toggle clip over load.

100 Greatest Music Video

79 - New Order / True Faith / 1987

The people are abstract and the song has nothing to do with the video. The choreography video people who has never been in a video before, so they basically had no idea what was happening throughout.

78 - Godley and Creme / Cry / 1985 

An original and classic video, every person head was kept in the same person so it was the same.

73 - Basement Jaxx / Wheres your head at / 2001

Weird and Disturbing video
Loads of confusion throughout the video

69 - Frankie Goes to Hollywood / Two Tribes / 1984 

Only shown after midnight, very exciting to viewers as TV was very rare after midnight and more of a family get together

66 - Bob Dylan / subterranean Homesick Blue / 1965

A writing on card idea which was very unique and clever as other people stole/ copied the idea.
The whole video was taken in one
The video was like it was never meant to happen as he's half in the frame

63 - George Michael / outside / 1998

A triumph video which makes him look powerful
The toilet scene reenact his arrest, a way to say he dont care about his sexuality

61 - The Prodigy / Smack My Bitch Up / 1997

An explicit and all the video is filmed in P.O.V
The video was to show the life of a man, and shows how exciting it is.
But it's a twist to show that at the end of the video it was a women.
