Influential Music Videos

We Found Love- By Rihanna



Doing some more research into music videos, I came across another well known artist- Rihanna, an R&B, Pop and HipHop artist. 
 






This particular music video 'We Found Love' doesn't really inspire me as such, however there is a certain passages (
illustrated from these screen shots that I have taken) where the artist (Rihanna) is singing against a white wall.





Different images (such as a road, a clouded sky and a close up of flowers) are projected on to the wall, creating a different feeling and characteristic to each shot.




Influential Music Videos


From doing some research into music videos I came across this artist- Christina Perri an alternative rock, soul and pop artist. I watched and listened to her music videos but this song 'A Thousand Years' caught my eye due to its structure. 
The introduction of the music video introduces the artist herself. It gives the feeling of the artist telling a love story. The structure of the music video then changes to a narrative setting. This is of a very popular and well known film 'The Twilight saga-Breaking Dawn part 1'
Both Narrative and Performance is illustrated throughout the music video something which I would like to do with my own.

Audience Key Terms

Qualitative DataQualitative methods are ways of collecting data which are concerned with describing meaning, rather than with drawing statistical inferences.  What qualitative methods (e.g. case studies and interviews) lose on reliability they gain in terms of validity.  They provide a more in depth and rich description.

Quantitative Data- Quantitative methods have come under considerable criticism.  In modern research, most psychologists tend to adopt a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, which allow statistically reliable information obtained from numerical measurement to be backed up by and enriched by information about the research participants' explanations.

Demographic Data- Is statistical characteristics of a population. This is commonly examined demographics included; gender, race, age, disabilities, mobility, home ownership, employment status, and even location. 
Demographic trends describe the historical changes in demographics in a population over time.

Lyrics to my song

How can I find you
When you're always hiding from yourself
Playing hide and seek with me
Till it gets too dark
Too dark, inside your shell
Why do I even try
When you take me for granted?
I should know better by now
When you call I already hear that crashing sound
As it all falls down

It's never too late to turn it back around
Yeah I know you can
Don't bury your demons deep in the ground
When it all falls down
The only way is up, up, up
The only way is up, up

I watch your spirit break
As it shatters into a million pieces
Just like glass I see right through you
And your parade of excuses
Feels like groundhog day
You say the same things over and over
There's that look in your eye
And I hear that crashing sound
As it all falls down

It's never too late to turn it back around
Yeah I know you can
Don't bury your demons deep in the ground
When it all falls down
The only way is up, up, up
The only way is up, up

It's your love that's strong
It's the only thing that keeps me holding on
It's your heart that's weak
But it's not too weak to bring you back to me

It's never too late to turn it back around
Yeah I know you can
Don't bury your demons deep in the ground
When it all falls down
When it all falls down
It's never too late to turn it back around

Never to late
Never to late
When it all falls down
The only way is up
The only way is up, up, up
The only way is up, up
When it all falls down
