After conducting the research that I have done on music videos I have found that there are certain conventions that all music videos have :
Lip Synching
Close up of instruments if the video is of a band
Long shots of dancers in POP videos
Many changes of costumes
A range of shots to make the video more interesting, Long shots, mid-shots,close-ups, extreme close ups
Narrative
Montage editing if a Dance Genre
Moment of pleasure when the artist looks at the camera
Muted footage
Lots of Cutaways
Point of View Shots
Always have a dynamic feel, this is because of the editing that has been done making it fast paced
Moving Camera to enhance the footage
Match on Action
Concept
This looks good, snd shows a good level of understanding into the conventions of music videos Lucy. I think you should be siming high for this blog - you clearly have the potential to gain an A - so I would suggest that you add some bigger screen grabs to demonstrate in more detail some of the key conventions of music videos - especially the conventions you plan to use in the making of your own.
