Mood Board


Mood board from RobsonBoyd

This is our mood board which shows the different ideas which we feel will make up our music video. We have included conventional things like the guitars and band picture so that we can stick to the convention of the genre. We have included the bar and alcohol because of the lyric 'Saturday is your only highlight when you go out and live the high life' which we interpreted as people drinking alcohol. 'I'm so sick sick sick and tired, of working just to be retired' to go with this lyric we have included the image of the stressed office worker. The image of the train has been used because at the end of the music video we plan to have a shot of the protagonist leaving on a train to go with the lyric 'Away from here'

Permission Request (Corrected)


Permission request 1 from RobsonBoyd

Hello, I am sending this email to seek permission for the use of a song by a artist signed to your recored label. The reason I wish to use your product is for my AS Media project. The project requires me to make my own music video for a pre existing track. The song which I wish to use is the track ‘Away from here’ by the band ‘The Enemy’. Please by assured that this project is for educational purposes only and I will not be making any profits from the video. I look forward to your response and thank you for taking the time to read my email


Yours sincerely Robson Boyd.

Shot count- Biffy Clyro - God and satan




I decided to use Biffy Clyro's music video for 'God & Satan' as it is a similar genre to the video which I am planning to construct, therefor it will be useful to find out what is the usual shot count for a video of the same genre.
As you can see in the Youtube video provided above the video runs for a total of 3:25 consisting of a total of 70 different shots.

The majority of shots used throughout the video are close ups of the lead singer Simon Neil singing the lyrics of the song. Another shot which is frequently used through out is a long pan shot of a group of pilgrims walking, which links with the title God & Satan as it plays with the religious aspect of the title ' God & Satan'.
