Analysis of Lyrics - 'Youth' by Daughter Elliezambakides
油
The document analyzes and summarizes the lyrics of the song "Youth" by Daughter. It discusses several lines and their possible meanings, themes of lost love, sadness, and reckless behavior during youth. Key themes that will influence the author's planned music video include the importance of living in the moment while young, the pain of loss, and using substances to numb emotional pain. One character in the video will die, profoundly affecting the main character. The video aims to represent the complex emotions evoked by the song lyrics.Atlantic records

Atlantic Records started in 1947 and focused on jazz, R&B, and soul music in its early years, recording famous artists like Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and Otis Redding. It was acquired by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts in 1967 but continued expanding to rock music. Today, Atlantic Records is a major record label owned by Warner Music Group that houses many popular artists across various genres. It was one of the first labels to adopt new formats like stereo and 45rpm singles.Codes and conventions of music videos
Codes and conventions of music videosElliezambakides

Codes and conventions of music videos generally include style, camerawork, sound, mise-en-scene, editing, and stereotypes. However, these conventions can vary slightly depending on the genre and style of the video. Conventions create a structure for audiences to understand and familiarize themselves with different genres. Videos typically last the length of the song and represent the song's message through relatable themes. While most videos follow conventions, some challenge norms. The two main techniques used in videos are technical aspects like camerawork and symbolic elements like facial expressions.Image manipulation 2

The document describes the process of editing multiple images in Photoshop for use in a digipak design. Key edits included adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, color levels and hue, adding photo effects and actions, and using tools like dodge and burn to enhance specific elements. The goal was to manipulate each image so they worked together aesthetically with a cohesive color palette and retro/vintage style while remaining suitable for their intended informational or background purposes on the different pages.Until dawn

Until Dawn is an interactive drama survival horror adventure video game where the player controls different characters and their choices determine how the story unfolds. The game begins with a therapy session that will affect future scenes, and uses first-person perspective and breaking the fourth wall. The decisions made by the player will change each character's personality and characteristics over time. Elements of the game relate to postmodern concepts like the blurring of reality and virtual life, declining meta-narratives, and the player shaping the narrative through their choices of what actions to take.Image manipulation

The document describes the process of editing an original image in Photoshop for use on a digipak. Several edits were made to enhance features like contrast, brightness and saturation. Actions were added to manipulate the images further. Colors were adjusted and overlays were used to darken corners and edges. The edits created cohesion across images while emphasizing focal points and tying the visual design to the overall theme and message.Editing processes
Editing processesElliezambakides

Adjustment layers were used extensively in the video to manipulate color and establish tone. Sepia tones distinguished flashbacks, and adjustment layers made red colors brighter and more vibrant against the black and white footage. Adjustment layers could be removed or modified if the creator was unhappy with the effect. Footage was cut down precisely to fit the rhythm and theme of the song. Speed and warp stabilizer effects were used on many clips to create different visual effects, though they cannot both be applied in Premiere so some clips required additional editing in After Effects. Transitions like cross dissolves and dips to white were sparingly used to link clips in time with the beat or represent fading away.Brand Guidelines
