Distribution Platforms

 Here, I have researched some Distribution platforms that distributes MVs 

1. YouTube



YouTube is the biggest video platform in the world and the first place fans look for music videos. It’s free to upload, easy to share, and works on almost every device. You can create a channel just for your music and organize MVs, lyric videos, and behind-the-scenes clips. Plus, YouTube lets you earn money through ads if you turn on monetization.

2. Bilibili



Bilibili is one of the most popular video-sharing sites in China. It started as an anime/gaming community but is now huge for music and lifestyle content. Posting your MV here can help you reach a big Asian audience that might not use YouTube as much. Bilibili also has an active comment culture where fans can leave “bullet comments” that appear on the video, which makes engagement fun.

3. Vimeo



Vimeo is known for high-quality streaming and a clean design. Many filmmakers and artists use it to showcase professional projects because the video quality is better and there are no distracting ads. You can also embed Vimeo videos nicely on your website or blog. If you want your MV to look very polished, Vimeo is a good choice.

4. Dailymotion



Dailymotion is another global video site that’s like a smaller version of YouTube. It’s useful if you want extra reach and to have your MV in more than one place. It’s easy to upload and share, and some artists use it as a backup in case their YouTube video gets blocked in certain countries.

5. Facebook / Instagram




Social media is a must for promoting MVs. Facebook lets you upload the full video so people can watch without leaving the app. Instagram is great for posting short teasers or Reels that grab attention and link to the full MV. Together, they help you reach followers fast and create hype before and after release.

Genre and Mood exploration

 Here, I aimed to explore the genre and mood of similar songs to examine how the music video concept has been developed, and to investigate how the music video's narrative (the story) relates to the song's actual theme. The main theme and genre of my choice of song (Numb little bug )    Main theme - mentalillness, post liminal sad but beautiful Genre - Indie pop Some songs that depict a similar concept to the post-liminal theme and the genre of indie pop Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine Heather by Connan Gray Ceiling By Lizzy McAlapine  Theme - Grief and blurred memory after a breakup Genre - Indie pop  The main meaning of the song  can be interpreted in two ways: as a lingering feeling of a broken relationship or as the aftermath of an imagined scenario. The song can be taken as an understanding of the real-world situation of a breakup, even though the relationship wasn't real. How does the song lyric match the post-liminal concept?  First chorus - The ch...

Behind the scenes

 Here I'll show the behind-the-scenes of me filming my music video Here the camera was not the actors face is not in the middle of the screen so the shot was not right Here the camera was not the actor's face was not in the middle of the screen so the shot was not right I  first wanted to take the shot where the dog was sitting beside her, but it was a failure because it did not show any interest, so we took the shot with the dog sitting down and looking up Small mistake She did not look angry enough in this shot  I did not include this clip in the last MV It was actually a very fun experience filming the MV, but we also had an annoying number of mistakes which we had to correct and move forward. These show the wrong takes and the bloopers of filming (behind the scenes)

Practicing Photography of backgrounds(locations)

 Here I will be practicing some photography with different backgrounds that bring out different moods Places Melancholy Place - A lane with houses This picture feels calm but a little lonely. The empty stone road and quiet houses make it seem peaceful, like no one is around. The dark clouds with bits of blue sky give it a dramatic feeling, like rain might come soon. It feels calm, quiet, and a little sad in a nice way. Scenes to film in this background  (empty road and cloudy sky) can be used for a dramatic walking away scene, someone feeling lonely or lost. it can also be for a new beginning scene like someone coming to a new town. it’s good for a quiet talking moment between two characters or just before a storm to make it feel suspenseful. Serenity Place - A tea cultivation This background gives a very peaceful and calming feeling. The green tea bushes in the front with the mountains in the distance make it feel natural and quiet. The orange and pink sunset adds a warm, dre...
