Music video pre-production

 1) Music video treatment scene 1; outdoor different locations in London to highlight the London aesthetic and the country the music video is filmed. As it switches from one place to another throughout the streets of London at different day times. With a colourful screen background changing shapes and colours. Skating park location?  Scene2: Clear studio element white clear blank background with good lighting to contrast the colourful and London streets vibes and aesthetic to make the music video and artist stand out more and so fans can focus on the artist and appreciate them for these couple of clips.  Scene3: Aesthetic cosy bedroom giving the audience and girls specifically personal identity and relating to all of the bedrooms girls can have and maybe a desk  and mirror with make-up.  Scene 4: Lots of short clips and videos of buildings to contrast and change a bit with the theme so the artist is not the only one shown to entertain the audiences more. As they can be put at the begin

Preliminary exercise learner response

 1) Type up your teacher's feedback in full plus a summary of the comments you received from other students in the class. Really impressive preliminary exercise – going for the chorus was an excellent idea and the pace and number of shots is exactly what we want for a music video.  Editing is the real strength here – superb pace, matches the beat and several really well constructed moments.  Lip syncing is perfect in places but slightly off in others? Worth checking very carefully for full video. Do you need a separate studio performance element? Only comment on concept is to avoid it becoming too much like an advert for London tourism.  Needed brand identity of your artist in there – that was part of the brief for the preliminary exercise. Really good pace of editing  too many hair flips  2) Using a combination of your own reflection on the preliminary exercise and the feedback you were given, write three WWW bullet points and three EBI bullet points for your work    WWW:  variety

Preliminary exercise: Research and planning

1) State the song you have chosen for your preliminary exercise. Flowers ( Miley Cyrus)  2) Choose at least three music videos similar to your concept and watch a clip or more from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene. Perfect- One Direction   ( camera angles and shots)  Feather-Sabrina Carpenter   ( Beginning of music video, camera movements as artist is walking and camera is following.  Bejeweled- Taylor Swift   ( Narrative towards the middle and end of the video as she gained confidence and independence as she also got a massive glow up and a juxtaposition of herself of her life before and after. )  3) Write a short music video treatment for your extract (this is basically a script for your music video). You can find an example of a treatment here. If you are making your real coursework then feel free to use the treatment from your summer project. Different shot of the artist depending on the setting. may include

Coursework: Ignite presentation learner response

 1) Type up your feedback in full including the ratings out of five for each of the categories.  Excellent clear introduction with added research ( views of original video) Timing a little out -a lot of text on the slides but not trying to read everything out which is good.  Representation and stereotypes slide is good worth expanding for statement of intent.  Narrative/ performance combination work but need to be a bit more specific in terms of narrative, camera shots and editing.  Mise-en-scene is stronger with some specific ideas e.g. look + feel.  Online element of magazine slide is good for digital convergence. social media too.  Interesting ideas for representation theory but timing delivery little off.  Industry interesting need to check Vevo element is it a record company shoe sponsorship and gender element worth exploring more. Q+A  Great Q on pop/ disco genre + how to create this  Combination of performance and narrative discussed well.  Perhaps a little lack of rehearsal / p

Media Paper 2 learner response

 1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).  WWW: Q2 shows superb knowledge of the two TV CSPs with a little bit of work on exam technique you will be looking at the top grades.  EBI: Question focus for these evaluation of theory questions, you need to completely focus on theory in every paragraph. Here, it is whether Hall's ideas are valid. we will practise this!  2) Read the mark scheme for this exam carefully , paying particular attention to the 'indicative content' for each question. Firstly, focus on the unseen question and identify two aspects of the poster that you could have written about in your answer. • The way events, issues, individuals and social groups (including social identity) are represented through processes of selection and combination. • The link between genre and stereotypes – the representation of victim in the thriller/crime drama. 3) Look at the indicative content for Q1 again and make a note of an
