Example of Making Videos (Jack Howard)

*Video contains some strong language*

Here is the video behind Jack and Dean's music video called "Consent". Both are YouTubers, and as Jack says, they are not musicians. However, I thought this video was really relevant to the A2 course, as he talks about how he came up with the ideas for the video. 
Jack also talks about the importance of lighting, and how it should be kept in the background, yet also connote different emotions, and it can help amplify the lyrics of the song. Even though this song is meant to be quite funny, there is also a serious message behind it which is mentioned in this behind the scenes video. 
Again, Jack says how they subverted the audience's expectations of the video, to make it humorous and to help illustrate the light-hearted feel to the video and its lyrics. 


This was really useful in my preparation and planning for my music video, as simple things such as the colour of the lighting to emphasise moods hadn't occurred to me. I may not use green and red to imply good and bad necessarily, but I think it's the idea put across to make sure the video and narrative is what the audience is there to see, so it's important to keep the lighting in the background.
