How will your video use the conventions of a music promo?

Our video will use the conventions of a music promo by following the basic conventions such as close ups of the singer, mid shots of the actors and we will use mostly straight cuts when editing so that our video will look realistic and make it slightly more relatable for the audience.
How will you use the conventions of your chosen genre of video?

By taking a few lyrics of the song and basing the video around them, that will make our genre of video amplification. We will follow the conventions of amplification and make it partly narrative based and partly performance based. We will try to give both the performance and the narrative equal amounts of time in the video and will use the typical shots and editing that you see in this type of music video.

Will you use, develop, change or subvert those conventions?

Will we use the conventions of our chosen genre of video as this will make it look more realistic and make it more appealing for our audience. This is because the audience is used to seeing these conventions and will recognise them in our video which will hopefully make them want to watch our video again.

Cutting To The Beat

See Shot List:

Your empty promises (1)

Stop filling up my mind (2) while my loves’ away (3)
Temptation calls me (4)
To this (5) And loveless fools believe (6)
Their guilty hearts (7) still bleed (8)
But their cold lifeless heart beats (9) wear them out (10)

[Chorus] Cause you’re the heart break (11) that I couldn’t deal with (12)
You were the mistake (13)
That no-one could (14) save me from (15)
But I know (16) I’m better off leaving now (17)
You are the only reason I want it more (18)
You know I want to be (19) on my own tonight (20)
I just keep on running (21)
You know I want to be (22) on my own tonight (23)
Tonight I let you go (24)

My insecurities (25)
Playing on my mind, colours never change (26)
You should come back, (27) come back, (28) come back (29) (And look for more) (30)
But love that runs too deep (31)
Stolen moments (32) we couldn’t keep (33)
You should go before (34) the night time lets you down (35)

REPEAT CHORUS WITH SAME CUTS

Tonight I let you go (50)
Heart break (51)  heart break (52)

Heart break, heart break, heart heart break (55)
Tonight, heart break (56)
Heart break (57) heart break (58) heart break (59) heart break (60) heart break
I just keep on running (61)
You’re the heart break (62)
I couldn’t deal with (63)
You were the mistake (64) that no-one could save me from (65)
But I know I’m better off leaving now (66)

You are the only reason I want it more (67)
