Music video analysis

The music videos I have decided to use for my coursework are Drive by Oh wonder and Waves by Dean Lewis. I have chosen to use these songs because they have a similar narrative to the song we are using for our music video and the music videos themselves have the style of video that we wish to use. We want to include flashbacks that have a filter over the footage and these music videos are perfect examples of that. Georgia will also be doing her own analysis of Drive along with another song.

Digipak analysis

These are the digipaks that I have decided to analyse for my coursework, I have chosen these because the artists have similar music to the song I am using for our music video and the digipaks all have a very plain and simple look, which I really wanted for my digipak. 

Drive by Oh Wonder lyrics

Sat back with the window down
Eighty an hour and the radio loud
The same songs with the same old rhymes
Tell me to shake it off and swing from the lights

But I can't help but drive away from all the mess you made
You sent this hurricane now it won't go away
And I promised I'd be there but you don't make it easy
Darling please believe me

Cause loving you, loving you is too hard
All I do, all I do's not enough
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you leaves me hurt
All I do, all I do is get burnt
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you

Count stacks of the routine lies
Funny how easy you could see my blindside
Still the same songs with the same old beats
Sure I could stay but there's a place I'd rather be

And I can't help but drive away from all the mess you made
You sent this hurricane now it won't go away
And I promised I'd be there but you don't make it easy
Darling please believe me

Cause loving you, loving you is too hard
All I do, all I do's not enough
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you leaves me hurt
All I do, all I do is get burnt
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you

See I remember all the times you made me covered in crazy
I can't forget about the way you played me
Like I was never gonna change your world
It ended long ago so please just let me go
It ended long ago so please just let me go

Loving you, loving you is too hard
All I do, all I do's not enough
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you leaves me hurt
All I do, all I do is get burnt
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you

Loving you, loving you
All I do, all I do
Loving you, loving you, oh
Loving you, loving you, oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh

Drive by Oh Wonder

A2 Practical Production

For my coursework for Year 13 I have decided to create a music video with my classmate Georgia, all jobs related to the research and creation of our music video will be shared equally. The song our music video is set to will be Drive by Oh wonder. We have chosen this song because it has a clear narrative that can help create a solid piece of work. We have emailed the appropriate production/recording companies to ask for permission to use this song as it will be on Youtube. For research Georgia and I have decided to analyse three music videos and digipaks each, this helps us in being able to use a range of techniques similar to the desire genre and feel of our music video.
