Analysis Of my Song Lyrics
Get Away
Darkened days spent behind a book Tired and depressed, difficult time of period
Alliteration of D makes a heavy sound
wishing words could just stay a little while Wants to stay living in her fantasy
fantasy links to the book and how to get
away from stuff you read preferring
another life
Fantasy verses reality
You're never gunna get away However reality will always win
(Chorus)
And they say
Darling just be brave Have to face reality
I know you can make another day It will be hard but you can do it
Get your head out of the clouds now it's time to go home Trying to get back into reality
And she stares and she stares
Just alone ohhh oh. Feels isolated, no one understand her
Loveless love and empty laughter Feel unloved, nothing to laugh at
When did our lives turn into such a disaster Living in reality is a disaster
You keep yourself far away Try and face reality. try and ignore it
To ensure that you feel no pain So that your reality turns into a fantasy
And they say
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
It's better there Prefer living in her fantasy world
Its happy there its better in the clouds She doesnt want to come back down to to the world of reality
(Chorus)
I asked my friend Anna who wrote the song, what ideas inspired her to write these lyrics she said 'I wrote it last Summer when I was just thinking about how some people prefer living in a fantasy then actually dealing with life. It's supposed to be uplifting in the sense- get your heads out the clouds, meaning come back to reality stop dwelling in what you wanted.

Age Rating For Music Videos
On 1st October 2014 a pilot scheme has been welcomed by David Cameron to add age rating to online music videos start but dont expect to see any huge 12s, 15s or 18s on videos just yet. He said it will help parents protect their children from seeing inappropriate content. All parties involved say people watching the videos won't see any changes until the end of the year. Youtube says it is committed but technical change may take time and Vevo has agreed to trial the scheme.
Three of the biggest labels in UK- Sony Universal and Warner Brothers have all also agreed to take part, but it will only apply to artists signed to UK labels. This has been worked on as people are concerned of sexual content in music video where young children can easily go on YouTube and watch.

“From October, we’re going to help parents protect their
children from some of the graphic content in online music videos
by working with the British Board of Film Classification, Vevo
and YouTube to pilot the age rating of these videos.”
Research Into Genre I Am Using
Singer/ Songwriters are musicians who write, compose and sing there own musical material including lyrics and melodies, Singer/ songwriters often perform the entire composition or song themselves, typically using a piano or guitar. I have asked a good friend of mine called Anna to help me out, she is studying music A Levels at the moment which means that she will have a lot of knowledge and understanding how to write and compose songs.
Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift are good examples of Singer/ Songwriters, both the compositions and the arrangements are written primarily as solos, with he material angled towards tropical issues; sometimes political, sometimes introspective, sensitive, romantic and confessional.
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you,
Been here all along.
So, why can't you see—
You belong with me?
-Here are lyrics to Taylor Swifts song 'You Belong With Me' her songs are more love and romance based, the lyrics have a lot of meaning to it as it describes her past experiences with someone she liked. She also falls under the Singer and Songwriter category as she played her own instruments to create her song. Ed Sheeran's lyrics also have a very deep meanings to it such as his song 'The A Team', this song gives a great meaning across, his lyrics consists of him sing about prostitution, drugs and violence.
The worst things in life come free to us
Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
And sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly

What Have I Learnt From My Research
What I learnt from my audience research:
From my audience questionnaire I have learnt that majority of the audience prefer the genre hip-hop/ rap followed closely by indie pop. The majority of people preferred a narrative and performance music video, this consists of a storyline behind it.
What I have learnt from the codes and conventions of music videos:
From researching codes and conventions of music videos I have a rough idea to what include in my video, these are:
-Performance and Narrative music video
-A lot of close-ups and use common generic camera shots and angles.
- Editing so it matches the screening
-Use props and costumes that suit my genre of music I am going to use
What have I learnt from analysing music videos:
From analysing 10 different music videos I have learnt that:
- Editing and cuts tend to match up with the music.
- A lot of close-up shots are used
- Digetic sound is used quite a lot at the start of music videos
- The narrative gets the most attention
- Mise-en-scene is related to the lyrics in some
