We decided to compare an amateur video of the song we found on Youtube to the original professional version. We made two sets of lists for each video, one of general points we noticed and then a comparison to Goodwins' points. By looking at the contrast of amateur and professional we will learn how to make ours appear more profesional.
The Midnight Beast cover by - Three Teenage Girls:
· Lip syncing was out of time
· No clear narrative
· Very unprofessional, for example- laughter over the song
· Seemed to be very little planning
· Simple shots e.g. Two Shots. All filmed within same house
. Little to no Mise en Scene
Goodwin’s points:
1. Selling the artist- Not really present only positive would be it seems relatable to the audience.
2. Voyeurism- We were able to see them being themselves
3. Genre characteristics- Fun, playful, enjoyable: Indie and Rap.
4. Visuals and lyrics- Lip synching was awful; out of time.
5. Visuals and music- Editing was very basic but evident and goes with the song
6. Intertextuality- Does not fit into any many genres the closest relation that could be made would be Indie.
The Midnight Beast version:
· Uses a better standard of camera
· Storyline follows a narrative
· Good actors, their acting allows us to relate to them as they are just three guys having fun
· Better lighting and editing
· Seemed well planned out
Goodwin’s points:
1. Sells the artist - Shows their view points through their comical side
2. Voyeurism- Audience feels involved
3. Genre characteristics – Rap, indie, topical
4. Visual and lyrics - Lyrics followed the storyline fully
5. Visuals and music- Editing fits the music
6. Intertextuality- Fits the genre and makes light of current issues
