On www.unsigned.com website, i have been looking at the different types of songs that i could possibly use in the future for my music promo video. Here are three different songs by 3 different artists which are from the same genre which is 'RNB/POP' genre. I have already made the confirmed decision that the genre that i will be working with this year for my promo video will be R'N'B.








Finding The ''Right Music''

Now at the beginning of the process of making my music video, i am looking for the right music for my video on "www.unsigned.com", a website which consists of several different types of music songs of unsigned artists. The reason being why I am using this website to find my music for my music video is because its based on the copy right function, like for instance I couldn't just go about using ;'Rihanna - Mandown' for the music for my video due to the fact that i would have to have permission to use the music in the first place i couldn't just take it. Whereas, this music on unsigned.com is a website where various different people create different genres of music uploaded on to the website who are unsigned artists but who we are able to email and contact to ask for permission to use there music for our promo video.


Below is a screen-gab of the www.unsigned.com website, showing you what the website looks like and the music thats available.


















Below is another screen-grab of the www.unsigned.com website, this is showing on the website the top 10 plays on the website.


The 3 main points this music that ill be using CANNOT consist of :

  1.  NO SWEARING
  2. NO OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE /i.e. race, gender
  3. NO RAP

t.A.t.U - Not Gonna Get Us


Even though this music video is particularly a few years old, i have always thought this was such an amazing music video and song itsself. The music video has such a significant superior connection to the lyrics and honestly makes me go cold when watching it.
Rihanna - Man Down Official Music Video



File-Rihanna_2010_cropped.jpgThis is one of the latest music video's of a world wide icon Rihanna. I personally think that this music video is intrinsically amazing, this is due to the fact the not only is this a music video but its also like watching a movie waiting for the story to unroll. The video tells a story itself, i love the fact that in the beginning of the music video it shows the ending its starts off with showing the audience the ending of the story leaving the audience watching slightly confused and wondering what's happened and why she is so distressed and distraught. After that, the story gradually evolves and showing you the beginning of the story Rihanna at a party dancing with this one in particular man then him following her down an alley and violently attacking her then shows her again the clip from the beginning of the music video which then helps the audience understanding what was happening and why they showed that clip at the beginning of the music video.  I think that the way she has set about doing this was indeed very clever and that's why i think that i love this music video and would be particularly interested in doing something along the lines of this. Rihanna is a huge R'n'B artist who is widely famous. Rihanna is famous for her multi tasking type of genres of music, she's known for singing Pop, Reggae, R'n'B and Hip Hop genre of music. Rihanna's well known for her songs like Whats my name, Russian Roulette, Shut up & Drive, S.O.S etc. Literally, as soon as Rihanna stepped on the scene with her career she has been extremely popular for her edgey character from 2005-2006 up until now, going from girl next door image to a world wide sex icon.

The Brief Introduction

Entering this year taking on the course of A2 Media Studies, i'll have the challenging task to create a music 'promo' video. This music video that i shall be making will have to be up to 5 minutes exactly long, creating this video i will should be involving up to four members within my group or creating this video by myself. Also, i will also need to create a 'digipak' (cover only) for the release of my music video on CD also a magazine advertisement for the digipak as well. After creating the music video itself, the cover only of the digipak for the CD and the magazine advertisement for the digipak, i'll finally have to produce to my promo music video a critical evaluation for the overall music video.
