Music video research- Colyer- out for you

Colyer- out for you lyrics analysis                        lyrics              analysis

Push it to the limit
I wanna see how fast this thing can go- I believe these lyrics are very literal they are mentioning the singer being in a car and wanting to go fast.
Hard for me to quit it
Brewing in the garden like a crow- These lyrics may be a subtle reference to how he feels about the woman, hard for me to quit it may mean he cant stop being with her and brewing in the garden may be that he feels his love for her may be growing.
Looking for a flower-This could either mean that he was looking for a beautiful Well I wasn’t, I wasn’t at all woman or that the woman hes with is looking for a good man which he doesn't believe he is because in the next line he says "i wasn't at all".
Cause the second hand robbed me blind
But your love gave me back my sight, sight- These lyrics may be saying that the singer has had a hard life probably involving crime and the woman hes with has opened his eyes to a better way. 
Oh, oh, oh…
I done wore no shackles and played the fool-This could be Colyers way of saying hes never been in the shackles of a proper relationship and being in love.
Oh, oh, oh…
Have you ever been there before?-I think this is Colyer asks the woman if shes ever been in love.

I’m like a stone rolling anywhere the river will flow-This pushes the idea that Colyer is just a drifter.
Let’s take a drive through the border down to old Mexico
There’s something
About the way you hang your legs out of that car window
You know, you know, you know
The day’s running but I’m out for you-This line could be about how the only reason Colyer is able to travel around like he does is because he has her with him.

(Ah ah a-ah ahh)
Uh, the day’s running but I’m out for you
(Ah ah a-ah ahh)
I said, the day’s running but I’m out for you…

You push me in the pool babe
Just to see how fast my herb would swim
You wait to go all in
Cause two over one shapes the dividend-This line could be about how two people being together changes each of the people involved, a dividend is a number that is to be divided by another number the use of this word could mean that being two being together divides you making you less of a person.
But I'mma dive deep for you
I’m just, just a man-These lyrics are Colyer promising to dive deep into his feelings for the woman.
Need a woman here by my side
Gotta dig for water, get by

I say… oh, oh, oh
I done wore no shackles and played the fool
Oh, oh, oh…
Have you ever been there before?

I’m like a stone rolling anywhere the river will flow-I think this is him 
Let’s take a drive through the border down to old Mexico
There’s something
About the way you hang your legs out of that car window
You know, you know, you know
The day’s running but I’m out for you

(Ah ah a-ah ahh)
Uh, the day’s running but I’m out for you
(Ah ah a-ah ahh)
I said, the day’s running, the day’s running

Said I wanna drive ‘til the gasoline goes
Away with the wind, together we blow-This line is pretty simple it is Colyer saying he wants to keep driving with the woman until the car runs out of fuel.
(Na, na, na-na nah, na, na, na-na nah)
Said together we blow
(Na, na, na-na nah, na, na, na-na nah)
And they’ll call it home


The song is a blues based rock single, with a quick, catchy melody and lyrics. It has a lot of gritty guitar and bass with ordinary vocals put through a distorter makes the song have this old nostalgic feeling to it as if it was being played through a car radio, which is interesting when it seems that the whole song is about the singer traveling in a car with a woman. The song is catchy and incredibly interesting. 

The song is written and performed by Steven Colyer who says it is about a woman he met and spent a long time with in LA, the song is their story. For reasons unknown Steven has only ever released this one song he has been performing gigs occasionally since its release and is believed to be working on an album. By looking at his and watching his music video and live performances it seems he has a happy style with his music video featuring him simply having a good time with a woman and he seems to genuinely enjoy himself while performing.

In the video Colyer is represented like a drifter with his disheveled hair and baggy clothes and that in the video him and the woman are driving around in a rusty pickup truck, I think this is to make it seem like they don't have much but the tone of the video is quite happy as they drive around having fun together and smiling. I think this is to make it seem like all they need is each other. 

An example for the drifter image he tries to give off is in this cover photo for the single, he is seen in a worn jacket in the middle of a desert giving off this image of someone who is lost however he has his hand raised in defiance to show that this is who he wants to be, the pose shows that he is happy with how things are and how this situation may seem like a bad one to most to him it is a good one perhaps because of the woman he sings about in the song. 

The nature and purposes of research in the creative media industries

Primary research is new research done to answer a specific question, primary research is research you gather yourself instead of looking for research online or in books for you to use this research can be carried out in anyway. I gathered primary research through online surveys, these surveys were used to find out peoples preferences on thing regarding my film. We also did primary research by setting up and recording an interview with someone who was knowledgeable on our subject. But some other ways to gather primary research are questionnaires, photographing events and focus groups. In our project we interviewed our games development teacher because we felt he would know a lot about the subject.

Secondary research is research that has been previously collected and is being re used for your purposes instead of carrying out your own research. We found secondary research by looking up newspaper articles on our subject and finding videos on the subject and using them to find information to use. some examples of secondary research we found was some detailed articles on our subject and some adverts from the time of the event.

Quantitative research is research that is to do with statistics and other numbers such as polls, surveys and questionnaires. We used surveys to make our own quantitative data these surveys were sent to people around our age group to make the results apply heavily to us and our subject another example of quantitative data we gathered was that we looked through advert from the time and picked the one with the most views online.

Qualitative research is research that is about finding detailed and useful information this information is usually about opinions and provides insight into the subject instead of just providing information about it. To produce qualitative information we asked people who around at the time of it happening and people who know a lot about the subject to gain a unique insight into our subject.

There are a lot of data gathering agencies such as the BARB broadcasters audience research board, which collects information on how much shows are watched and on watch channels and at what times this is very useful for researching media and finding out what people like. You also have websites like IMDB which have detailed descriptions and ratings of movies and shows, it also has the entire cast of the films and shows user reviews of the films so you can see what people really think of them.

In our project we did audience research through surveys that were sent to people in our age group as we felt that this audience would be the most likely to watch our video and therefore their opinion on the video would matter the most. These surveys featured questions like gender and their opinion on the subject of our video and if they would watch our video. Some examples of ways to gather this kind of data are through audience awareness and competition.

When looking for production research we considered the viability of our video and whether it had already been done we found that there were a number of small documentary style videos on the subject but nothing major. We also had to consider our technical limitations when recording dialogue because we don't have a soundproof room in our college and a lack of personnel. We found these problems out by looking for a place to record our lines and looking for extra people to be involved in our video.

Audience research is about researching the viewing habits, needs and wants of the audience and the viewers of the content you want to make and to estimate the size of the audience watching a particular show or form of media. Market research is about finding out what a group of people need and what they will enjoy so you know what to make to please that crowd and make a profit. Production research is needed to add to the production being made it focuses on researching what is  needed for the production and what is needed to not only keep the production going but also make it as good as it can be.

research for documentary

This is useful because it shows just how much of an effect the crash had on the industry as a whole and just how much the damage the crash caused in such a little amount of time. facts and figures often grab attention of the viewer while also providing very important imformation.

This image is interesting because it shows the attitude of the media towards the events at the time. It is useful because it shows exactly what the media thought of the event and describes it in a lot of detail.

This image is very useful because it shows the exact date the games were buried and all of the information on the event.

This commercial i found from the time was very useful because it showed the attitude towards games and how bad the games themselves were at the time.

Ideas

•        Bug documentary
•         The rise of mobile games
•         The video game crash of 1983
•         The psychology of criminal minds

_________________________________________________________________________________

My favourite of my ideas is the video game crash of 1983 this documentary would detail the events that led up and caused the video game crash and the effect it had it had on the industry. This documentary would be an expository style because it would feature a disembodied voice over accompanying images and videos. Providing facts and information I like expository documentaries because the main objective of them is transparent direct presentation of information. My intent making this documentary would be to educate people on an interesting subject. I will not need to travel anywhere for this documentary although i will need access to the classroom which would make it quite easy to make, the only crew I will need is me although i may think about getting a different person to do the voice over. I may also provide interviews from people who are knowledgeable on the subject and were alive at the time after getting feedback from the class.
