performance

On some music videos the artist sometimes sings in from of the camera to the lyrics of the song. They don't do any acting they literally act in front of the camera pretending to preform. Some of the music videos that we have already looked at, haven't done it in their music video's. Olly Murs's - Dear Darlin, doesn't do it. When he sings in the video he acts at the same time and so doesn't preform. The same can be said with Cody Simpsons's - Summer time of our love. At no point do they preform in front of the camera. They are all acting in order to add a visual to the song and to help the audience understand what the song is about.

However In Michael Jackson's Thriller there is a part at the end where he is dancing and preforming in front of the camera, which is something you don't see on modern pop videos now.












Here you can see that he is preforming in front of the camera whilst he is singing the song. I think because you don't see that very often in modern music videos, me and my partner have decided that we are going to try and do that in our music video. In the actual music video to the Lazy song he does sing in front of the camera but it is for the whole song and the reason for that is because it is all one camera angle and it was shown as if it was done on a webcam. With our video i think we will only preform the singing during the chorus and maybe have it in a location like a field, and he is just singing on his own in front of a camera. The rest of the song we will be singing but we will be acting aswell.
