Unfortunately we faced some difficulties during our ancillary task. This was when we were about to upload the video, there was a fault in the software then it lost all our work. It was incredibly frustrating but it goes to show that technology isn't always dependable. This situation was also made worse because there was no back up for the video, mainly because we didn't expect to have to use one either.
We had made a video with our friends in sixth form to Harry Nilsson's Lime and Coconut Song. We had enjoyed filming this video because it was enjoyable to film due to the people being filmed being really enthusiastic about the song, but it wasn't expected that it would end in us losing the video altogether.

Research: Robin Thicke - Wanna Love You Girl
According to Andrew Goodwin's Theory, it follows most of the points. This is because the msuic video demonstrates genre characteristics. Due to the songs itself has a kind of mellow and laid back vibe to it, this is portrayed in the music video, when at the start it shows a beaurtiful scenery of the place where the people
In the music video it starts off with an establishing shot of the place where the music video is getting filmed. This helps to reinforce the type of genre the music is because its more of a calm and relaxed setting which is usually used by R&B artists.
The next part of the music video that shows a relationshipt between the lyrics and the visuals is when there are shots where it continues to show the main artist within the scene
After that the woman is introduced into the music video which helps to establish the genre. Which proves that there's a link between the lyrics and the video, especially based on the title of ther song.
This is emphasised when the artist continues to sing to the girl and with the girl nearby or in the backround.
In this music video, the relationshionship between the music and the visuals, and within this song, the lyrics talk about how he wants to be with the girl that he's seen and the visuals show the girl in a way that perceives her to bethe desirable woman that he's talking about and wants to be with. This is showed in the music video as to be showing the woman and the beautiful scenery, of which amplify the music.
Also due to the record label demanding a close ups of the artist, Robin Thicke has a number of close ups that show his face only in the shots.
There is frequently reference to notion of looking (screens with screens, telescopes, etc.) and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body. In this music video, the female bosy is emphasised numerous times throughout the video and shows helps to show the relativity of the lyrics to the genre and the women in the music video.
There is often intertextual reference (to films, T.V programmes, popular culture and other videos)
It can be suggested that a number of other nusic videos from this genre have used similar sceneries and also have had women like the ones in the music videos to do the same kind of things as in this one.

Research: Chris Brown - Kiss Kiss featuring T-Pain
This music video does demonstrate genre charatcteristics because it has the recognisable melody that usually comes with music that is associated with R&B music. The tempo of the song is what usually sets the visuals of the music video. This music video is still an R&B music video however the tempo is much faster and its not and serious as most of the typical R&B songs are. One the other hand this music video amd the song does still show the characteristics of this specific genre just with more of a different side to it. This is done through the of the storyline and the type of people that are in the music video including the artists.
There is also a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. In this video the lyrics contradict the music video in a way, thus is because the lyrics are talking about how a girl fantasises about a girl and how much she likes him but people are jealous of him because teh girl likes him instead of her. However the music video tells a story abotu a girl that is liked by two different types of boys (the Jock and the Nerd) and how the Jock atkes more of an aggressive approach towards the girl and the Nerd chooses to be more like a gentleman by helping her pick up her books. The relationship between the music and visuals also show through the same as the relationshhip between the lyrics abd the visuals.
Due to the record label demanding features such as close ups of the artist, the artist may end up having iconography which shows through their work. With this artists(Chris Brown), his signature is his dancing in his songs. In most of his music videos, especially teh ones which have a faster tempo, he does a lot of dancing and he usually ahs backup dancers too.
There may also be some scenes where the featuring artist is seen in either alone or with the two artists in the music video.
There is frequently reference to notion of looking and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body.
6. There is often intertextual reference to films, T.V programmes, popular culture and other videos. In thsi music video, its tellinga story that is based in a high school somehting like the teen culture of football and the games in the school gym as well as the American football team.

Target Audience
This type of is more of an R&B genre than pop because Justin Timberlake normally does a mix of pop and R&B. This is normally a favourite of the thr R&B lovers and the audince that listen to him are usually of a younger group(15-20), however his recent music can also be targeted to a wider audience(15-27). This music videos is targetted at both males and females because there's normally a stereotype that only men cheat and in this video it has proven that some women do cheat and they'll be in the wrong
According to the Andrew Goodnwin Theory, the original music video did follow the rules of Andrew's Theory rather than go against it, which did make sense to make it like that otherwise if the lyrcis did contradict the music video it wouldve been slightly confusing due to how the song was produced.
In our music video we also decided will demonstrate genre characteristics, usually a male and female in the video, as well as a large background for the most part except for when a story will narrated within a music video. we also decided that there will be some dancing within the music video to give that edge of R&B and something different to the music video.
We mainly chose this genre because it was very similar to our music taste as we like R&B and music along the same lines as R&B or even Hip-Hop. We thought to make Hip-Hop music video but we then just settled with something we were more familiar with which was Justin Timberake's Cry Me A River(even though it took us ages to decide!)

Cry Me A River: Justin Timberlake
In this music video Justin is talking about how his girlfriend cheated on him and how he got over her by having another girl in the house to use as proof to his girlfriend, after that he then sings about how she wanted him back but he didnt want anything to do with her so he tell her to cry him a river.
For our music video, we had decided to do something along the same lines of the boy singing whilst with the girl talking about how she did him wrong then at the end he will walk away from her. At the start it will look like the guy doesn't know about what the girl has done but later on he will show her that he did know and that he has been caught out.

Change of Plans
At first we had decided to do "Nelly Furtado- I'm Like a Bird" but we changed it to "Justin Timberlake- Cry Me a River"
This is because we felt that we prefered to just do a different song which we liked better and we thought we would work better on it.
We did make a brief for "I'm Like A Bird" just so that we could get ideas for what to do for the music video but then we chose to switch to something a little more familiar.
