Woodkid - Run Boy Run (Official HD Video)

This is the evidence of the email by the music composer who allowed me to use their music track for this project. 

RESEARCH - Fonts

For my CD's front cover and advert poster, I have used these fonts and some similar fonts to these. This was my researching when decided the font for my text and i looked at it from various different perceptions to get the right font for my texts. Firstly, I looked at some simple fonts, then at graffiti fonts, along with some out of the box fonts such as freestyle fonts and then Victorian style fonts. I looked at these fonts because they all match with the narrative and the genre of my music video either with the artist's mental health of being paranoid or with the whole theme of 'Golden Age' which is my title as well as the narrative of the whole music video. I finally decided to use a victorian style font for the advert poster title and a contemporary font for the CD's front cover. for the artist's name on the advert cover I have used a freestyle font to get a mixture of fonts whereas on the front cover I have used a font looking almost like bubble writing which can stand-out and can be clear to see.

PLANNING - Genre

• Baroque pop is a pop/rock music video hich started in the USA and UK in the mid1960s and worked as a fusion of rock and classical music. The term 'baroque rock' can also be used as harder edge and less commercial music. This music usually uses string instruments which gives the song an authentic tone and makes it sound much mor melodious. 

• This genre was mostly used to be more serious and mature in its ways and less wild than rock music. Traditionallly, baroque is quite melancholic and dramatic music, which contrastes from pop music. To reflect on this I have shown my artist as very melencholic and in search of a life that he can enjoy by being away from the corruption, stress and noise of urban world and find peace near nature (Golden Age). At the end, the dramatic sucidical shot further helps to see the genre of my music video. 

• In 'Run Boy Run', the baroque genre is established very well through its dramatic narrative and effective music. Due to its powerful genre, I had to think of a narrative which can match with the music and it's genre therefore, I decided to show a paranoid person and his survival through his struggles. The pictures below suggest that the genre itself is has a very royal and victorian feel to it which I will try to embed within my work.

MUSIC VIDEO - Elements to include (Checklist)

This is the list which was given to me by my teacher in order to help me remember and keep track of all the things that need to be done. This helped me add in all the things that are important and make my music video look more authentic and professional. 

PLANNING - Lip Sync Tutorial

In this lesson, I tried some lip-sync and learned how to do it. I understood the importance of lip-sync and how it has to be on the beat as it helps to make the audience know the song well, creates better image of the artist and makes the video much more authentic and interesting to watch.

Therefore, this tutorial has helped me a lot in terms of learning the importance of lip-syncing.

RESEARCH - Composer

1. Yoann Lemoine Is a French music video director, singer and songwriter. The Golden Age was his first album that released on 18th March, 2013. 

   
   

   "Run Boy Run" was directed by Lemoine himself and it became so popular both in USA and Britain. It was used in the teaser trailers for the BBC's series 'Musketeers', in January 2014. The music for Run Boy Run was also awarded for Best Short Form Music Video in Grammy Awards, 2013. Moreover, it's music was used for upcoming game 'Dying Light'. 

   
   

   Such vast directorial skills along with the firm knowledge to make an epic music attracted me to his creativity of music and encouraged me to use this song. It's title Golden Age allowed me to come up with my narrative.
