Lyrics:

'I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
And build a Lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down

My three words have two meanings,
There's one thing on my mind
It's all for you

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of luck
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm gonna paint you by numbers
And color you in
If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall

And it's so hard to say it but I've been there before
Now I'll surrender up my heart
And swap it for yours

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better

Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of luck
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of luck
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now

Comprehensively explain the nature and purpose of music videos?

Music videos for most of the time are broadcast on either on TV or on a different type of platforms. Music videos that are broadcasted on TV include different types of channels. The nature of music videos have changed from over the years, types of music video channels include: E4; MTV; The Vault; Kerrang; Smash hits; BOX; Kiss; Music 4; Classic MTV; Scuzz. All of these channels are good examples of channels that provide music videos to different types of people who like different types of genres, some of the channels listened also provide TV shows.

The companies that provide the facilities of these channels like Sky, sky is a satellite system which provides you satellite connection to the television which lets you access these types of channels. Virgin is a cable connection, in some cases faster than satellite connection because it saves time collecting data from a satellite to then feed data in-between each other.

Another way that you can view music videos include streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Now TV, Spotify, YouTube, ITunes. These services allow you to connect to the internet and view either music videos or shows through the internet this is normally faster than going to the TV rather than searching on the internet. Netflix, Now TV and Amazon Prime are strictly only for television and you cannot view music videos on there. Spotify, ITunes and YouTube these are facilities that specialise with music videos. The different genres that you can have from these different types of websites let you listen to different types of genres such as Heavy metal and Classic, rather with television channels which let you have a certain genre at a certain time.

The different types of music videos that exist online such as VEVO and Vimeo. Vevo is a video hosting service that is owned and operated by different types of sound companies such as Google and Sony Music Entertainment. YouTube allows VEVO to exist because it is owned by Google and google pays YouTube. Using VEVO is easier to find a certain music videos. YouTube is not just stuck to just music using you can view any type of video.

Artist such as Duran Duran and Madonna made music videos by investing millions of dollars trying to making a good quality music video. The goal of a music video is to make you want to buy the album of the artist. By watching MTV. Until the internet was made, all you need to do is download any type of song that you would like from the internet and pay for the rights to own the songs. This made the population go mad over artists such as Michael Jackson.

The goal of different types of music videos are to increase the sales of the artist and the record label to get respect to the artist. They would also get popularity from different directors so then they would work on short films and make sure that they are filmed in a good quality. This is also used to give the population artist imagery. This also lets you enhanced the character of the artist, so then they can sell merchandise of the artist. The entire point of a music videos is to make the artist money and to continue to make them famous.

Unit 2 Brief 2 Extracting Information from written sources

History of video editing

In 1895 the Lumiere Brother invented cinematography. At the time their was only one camera and they would have to change position ever-time they wanted to change scene. One of the first video that was edited was a "Arrival of a train" This was revenlutionary for its time because no-one had seen anything like this before. This involved using just one camera and no colour.[1]

One short movie in later times was 'The Great Train Robbery' This was based in the western time scale.  This was made by Edwin S. Porter in 1903. This was one of the first short movies that had been made, during this time no-one knew about the different types of films that could have been made. This was first published in America.[2]

The execution of Mary Stuats was a short movie that was made for the execution of mary queen of scots. The practitioner behind this was Thomas Edison. This short film lasts for 18 seconds and it consists of the different types of editing only using one camera is one of them. [3]

Video Editing techniques

This shows you about the different techniques that are you used in video editing this include a bit about the 180-degree rule and the different types of shots that are used.

The 180-degree rule

The 180-degree rule is used to make sure that the audience can interact and so that they can connect with any unseen area behind and infront of the subject in question. If you break this rule you lose continently.[4]

The different types of shots

The different types of shots include:

Close Ups- This shot makes the actors face full in frame. This is normally used when a actor is doing a very dramatic close up or someone is saying a speech

Long Shot- A shot that has either a actor or a object top to bottom frame
Establishing Shot- This type of shot is allocated to the beginning of the scene. This normally comes after the aerial shot
Over the Shoulder Shot- This shot is normally shot behind a characters shoulder. A good example of this was in 'The Godfather'
Tracking Shot- This is a elegant shot for a camera, this shot normally follows behind the subject behind, alongside or infront of the subject
Two Shot- This is a shot which has to actors or actresses in frame with each other. this is normally used when people are besides each other not facing each other
Crane Shot- This is exactly what it says, a camera being placed on a crane and makes it go up and down.[5]

Parallel editing

This means to cross over different types of scene with similarities to them. [6]
