This document provides instructions for students to design a music video based on given lyrics. Students must choose between an illustrative, amplifying, or contradicting music video. They are also asked to show the concept, performance, narrative, or a combination. The document gives examples of storyboarding techniques to plan shots, camera angles, and how the lyrics will be incorporated. Students will work on their storyboards in class and complete them for homework to turn into animatics.
1. Music video Lesson 3a L.O to show your understanding of the three types of music video using creativity
2. The task Taking the lyrics given to you, design the music video to be either: Illustrative-using the ideas to create a video that is symbolic of the ideas in the lyrics-uses metaphors Amplifying- take the ideas of the video and amplifying and exaggerating them Contradicting- create a video that is a concept which has nothing to do with the lyrics.

4. You will need to be Creative thinkers- Imaginative, develop existing skills, think of new ideas Self managers- Manage your time, set realistic targets, prioritise your time and the tasks
5. Recording it Draw or write what will be taking place on screen Picture of a girl crying My video will be amplifying but I will also use a narrative Camera angle and movement- the lyrics that will be in the background Camera zooms in to a close up of the girls tears. Lyrics “ Are you lonesome tonight do you miss me tonight” Picture of the girl and boy happy in the park. Sun shining. Picture blurry like a flashback Establishing/long shot to show them together, cuddling. Lyrics “Does your memory stray to a bright sunny day”
6. The lyrics Are you lonesome tonight,Do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny dayWhen I kissed you and called you sweetheart? Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? I wonder if you're lonesome tonightYou know someone said that the worlds a stageAnd each must play a part.Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glanceYou read your line so cleverly and never missed a cueThen came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strangeAnd why I'll never know.Honey, you lied when you said you loved meAnd I had no cause to doubt you.But I'd rather go on hearing your liesThan go on living without you.Now the stage is bare and Im standing thereWith emptiness all aroundAnd if you wont come back to meThen make them bring the curtain down.Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
7. Plenary My music video is a .............music video I can show this because (give three examples) Change with one other person and get them to evaluate the work that you have done so far.
