Storyboard music video, Radioactive by Imagine Dragons

This is my groups finished music video, we cut up the story boards we made and ordered them so they matched up with the song.






To make the music video we placed photos of our cut up storyboards into iMovie and added the song we chose, Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, and we matched the photos to the song so that the images we drew matched up with the song. We used the 'Ken burns' effect on the images so it gave the video some animation.

Storyboard for storyboard music video, Radioactive by Imagine Dragons

We used storyboards to make a music video for Radioactive by Imagine Dragons.



These are the storyboards that I drew, they are the performance side of the storyboard music video that me and my group made.

We made these story boards to make a music video so we had a basic understanding of how to make  a music video.

2. I won't give up by Jason Mraz

Lesson 1 18/6/13

What is a music video? 

A music video is a short film that contains a song and acting to the song, produced for promotional.  Most music videos made now are used for marketing prompting people to buy the song/album. Although the origins of music videos date back to the 1980s, when MTV based their business around them. Before the 80s, these works were described by various terms including illustrated song, promotional clip, promotional video, song video and song clip.
A music video shows the true emotion of the song and gives a real perspective of the song from the singers point of view.
Some music videos can be really simple like Geek in the Pink by Jason Mraz it is basically him walking around getting people to listen to his song and them dancing, but some videos can be complex like Feel Good inc. by The Gorillaz, which is a largely animated video.


Early music videos

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is considered one of the first music videos because it is directed and edited for the purpose of being a music videos.


Video killed the radio star by The Buggles was the first video to be shown on MTV this is the original broadcast shown on day one of MTV.






My favourite music videos


My favourite music videos are: 

  • Jason Mraz - Geek in the pink, I like this video because it is simple and not made overly complex with acting and directing.

  • Imagine Dragons - Radioactive, I like this video because it shows a story of a post apocalyptic world and the use of mutated teddy bears thus using the lyrics 'welcome to the new age' and 'radioactive'.

  • Modestep - Sunlight, I like this video because it shows old men and women acting like teenagers, which I find quite funny and random for a music video.

  • Jason Mraz - I wont give up (lyric video), I like this video because the use of the effects, back ground and the use of words makes the video more emotional and brings up memories in the views mind.





Important music videos



In my opinion the next 5 videos are some of the most important music videos of the past.

1. Video killed the radio star - The Buggles, this was the first music video shown on MTV




2. Man in the mirror - Michael Jackson, This is an important music video because it addresses a lot of things that effect the worlds view of things for example racism, war and poverty amongst other things. 




3. Thriller – Michael Jackson, this is an important music video because it tells a story at the beginning and the song was number 1 in the charts for roughly a year.




4Janie’s got a gun– Aerosmith, This is quite a powerful music video about sexual abuse and it contains a moving scene of the woman Janie running through traffic.




5. Gangnam Style - PSY, this is an important music video because it was the first music video to reach A billion views on Youtube.
