Olly Murs ft Demi Lovato - 'Up' (2014) Music Video Analysis
This is the 'official' music video produced to endorse Olly Mur's & Demi Lovato's recent duet single 'Up'; consumable in both the former's 2014 album 'Never Been Better' & the latter's, 'DEMI' (again in 2014).
I am very fond of Lovato's texts - this being no exception - her star power is what actually brought me to consume this one. Having consumed; it has now become my personal favourite.
Below is the alternative, acoustic version to the single.
The 'acoustic' version to this single serves ancillary to the above version; both are however distinguishable. Performance characterises this version more - I believe (as an example).
Shots I particularly love:
shot above shot of Demi alone; exact same impact
- I believe.

A2 BLOG TO-DO LIST
Research into 'Demi Lovato' & 'Eminem' as my 2 in-depth case studies
Backgrounds - how they grew up relatively poor - how they were subject to issues such as: drug consumption, self-infliction, depression etc. How this played factor in shaping how they are now - Demi trying to convey meaningful music which reaches out to teenagers/young adults - primarily people who suffer/at risk of suffering similar experiences to her; similarly with Eminem. Their roles as empowering figures: neither are limited to just empowering one particular gender - which is where I find relation/relativity/inspiration.
Ironically - in one aspect - it is good they experienced said issues; if they hadn't their music styles would probably differ significantly now. They would probably have less of a following. My 2 artists are exemplification of 'persona' being integral in a record label.

Research into conventional technical codes (ANDREW GOODWIN).

Goodwin's Music Video Theory
- Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics (e.g. Stage Performance in a Rock video and dance routines in a pop video)
- There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals
- There is a relationship between music and visuals
- The demands of the record label will include close ups of the artist to develop motifs (visual style)
- Reference to the notion of looking (screens within screens, telescopes etc.)
- There is often inter-textual reference to films,TV, Programmes and other music videos.
Intertextuality should instantly be a recognisable symbol of pop culture as it interacts with the audience by bringing in current affairs which is a great promotional tool to establish a fan base.

Technological context
Invention of film brought possibility of combining music and moving images.
Music videos have been existential since the 'booming 20's.
Prominent musicians from said decade include Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong: both jazz musicians who helped shape the emergence of 'jazz' in popular culture.
Antiquated/traditional music videos use to regard live performance and be more 'expressive'; contemporary regard spectator interaction and catharsis - establishing a sense of intimacy.
1970 - the record industry - seized opportunity to employ TV-Shows as an endorsement platform for artists, particularly because of already-accquainted audiences.
The latter-half of the '70s (1975) saw 'Bohemian Rhapsody' produced and come to light in media. This has been disputed to mark the initiation of 'the video era' and establish language for contemporary music video: it also is considered one to be one of the first music videos to utilise advanced visual effects (CGI).
