Technical and artistic elements and perception of the frame as an elementary communication unit in a music video

Abstract

Bez obzira je li riječ o zamrznutom kadru ili seriji zamrznutih kadrova koji prikazuju pokret, kadar, kao neprekinuti čin snimanja ili najmanja montažna jedinica, sa svojim odrednicama i komunikacijskim jedinicama, omeđuje, bilježi i čuva prostor i vrijeme. Od početne ideje do završne kreacije serije pokretnih slika, kroz kreativne i produkcijske procese određene tehničkim i umjetničkim aspektima koji, u glazbenom videospotu, pokušavaju prikazati, upotpuniti te spojiti vizualnu i slušnu umjetnost, jedni od važnijih segmenata predstavljeni su kroz izbor kadrova, tj. njihovih unutarnjih odrednica: kompozicija, planova, rakursa, montažne postupke, boju... isto kao i pokrete u kadrovima ili pokrete tih kadrova. Proširivanje semantike i sinestezija više oblika umjetnosti dovodi do upotpunjivanja naracije, osnovne poruke i semiotike kroz svoja denotativna i konotativna značenja, a koja su se htjela komunicirati pokretnim slikama. Neograničenost diskursa, razmišljanje i stvaranje izvan okvira, izvan zadanih mjerila, odrednica i formi, pridonosi stvaranju jedinstvenog autorskog stila i široku viziju u pogledu kreativne produkcije sadržaja. U radu su opisane komunikacijske jedinice videospota kroz svoje tehničke i umjetničke aspekte, a one ovdje poglavito pripadaju produkcijskim i post-produkcijskim procesima izrade. Pored toga, sociološko-umjetnički segment propituje glazbeni video(spot) kao umjetnost u (ko)relaciji s filmom te moderan etnomuzikološki stil i promociju. Prikazana je i analiza autorskog glazbenog videospota. Kroz segment istraživanja o tehničko-umjetničkim odlikama snimljenog glazbenog videospota, identificirana je percepcija šire populacije na razine saturacije i kontrasta primijenjenih u vizualnom segmentu videospota. Dobivene su povratne informacije konzumenata koje mogu utjecati na moguća poboljšanja u primjenjivanju saturacije i kontrasta u pokretnim slikama. Pored toga, po segmentacijskim kriterijima, predstavljeni su i rezultati subjektivnih dojmova ispitanika na slijed i vrstu kadrova, korištene tehnike snimanja i montaže u glazbenom videospotu te prianjanja uz glazbenu temu koja se izvodi.Whether it is a freeze-frame or a series of freeze-frames that show movement, the frame, as a continuous act of recording (shooting) or the smallest editing unit, with its determinants and communication units, delimits, records, and preserves space and time. From the initial idea to the final creation of a series of moving images, through creative and production processes determined by technical and artistic aspects that try to present, complement, and combine visual and auditory art, one of the most essential segments is given through the selection of frames, i.e. their internal determinants: compositions, plans, perspectives, editing techniques, colors... as well as the movements in the frames themselves or the movements of those frames. The expansion of semantics and synesthesia of several forms of art leads to the completion of the narrative, initial message, and semiotics through their denotative and connotative meanings, which were intended to be communicated with moving images. The unlimited discourse, thinking, and creating outside of the box, beyond the given criteria, determinants, and forms, contributes to the creation of a unique author's style and a broad vision in terms of creative content production. The thesis describes the communication units of music videos through their technical and artistic aspects, and they here mainly belong to the production and post-production processes of creation. In addition, the sociological-artistic segment questions the music video as art in (co)relation with film and modern ethnomusicological style and promotion. An analysis of the author's music video is also presented. Through the research segment of the technical and artistic features of the captured music video, the wider population’s perception on the levels of saturation and contrast applied in the visual segment of the video was identified. Consumer feedback was received and that one may influence possible advances and improvements in the application of saturation and contrast in moving images. In addition, sorted by segmentation criteria, the results of the interpretation of the subjective impressions on the sequence and type of frames, the recording and editing techniques used in the music video, and adherence to the musical theme being performed, are also presented
