Disconnected - Brief

I would start my music video with the artist sat in a room with pictures of her brother (a couple in uniform to indicate that the song is about him and going to war) the camera will be set up with a mid shot and will pan the room to start with before switching to a close up of Jazz's face to hopefully capture some emotion in her face as she performs her song for her brother. During the chorus the visuals will change to clips of her and her brother chatting and having fun i think that this will be a good contrast to the sombre mood of the song.

During the second verse i would have Jazz walk around the room with a handheld camera shot following her round the room as she picks up tokens of her brother (maybe presents that he gave to her or personal items that were left behind when he left for war) i would have close ups of the items that she picked up to signify the importance of her brothers belongings.

I would end the video with Jazz sat on a bed clutching a picture of her brother as the screen faded to black, i think that the video and the images will reflect the mood of the song

Visualisation

If i were to make a video for 'Disconnected' by Jazz Morely, i think for this type of song i would suggest a performance video of Jazz playing the her song acoustically with cutaways of her and her brother doing ordinary brother and sister things (drinking coffee, chatting etc.) i would end the video with Jazz looking at a photo of her brother as i feel this would reflect the tone of the song as she is clearly missing her brother.
I think this idea would match the music and the tone of the song, my footage wont tell a story but will reflect the theme of the song showing how she misses her brother who it would seem she is quite close to.

Initial Listen

After listening to the unknown song i have found that it is not something that i would listen to or be interested in listening to. There is a sad tone to the song as the artist is clearly upset about her brother leaving for war, this is shown throughout the song through the lyrics and how she sings them. I also think that the song has a feeling of sorrow and a sombre mood. I think the genre is soul.

On Friday the 28th of October myself and Rheanna Smart gave a presentation on the sound analysis for Pirates of the Caribbean 'Dead Mans Chest' (pictured above).
I feel our presentation could have gone better if we had rehearsed it more and written a script to follow.
I think we could have also improved on the content of our presentation by providing definitions of the key terms.
I think our presentation would have also been stronger if all members of the group where present for preparation of the presentation and for actually presenting the presentation.
If we were to do this again i would make sure that we were more prepared before we presented.
