Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Unfinished
Been finding question 1 hard to understand - been using my notes but it's still 50/50 here and there.
This is what I have so far:
Final response will be presented as a powerpoint.
Music Video:
My chosen track is of the folk-pop genre.

The theme of loneliness, directionless and exile was used throughout my music video, by doing so I used a convention of the folk genre by specifically focusing on a subject matter within my music video.
Many folk tracks range from discussing war, working, civil rights, economics and love in the artist's/band's track.

A real media text which uses such conventions is Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues", as it touches on the subjects of social discontent - "Twenty years of schoolin'/And they put you on the day shift", drug use - "The phone's tapped anyway/Maggie says that many say/They must bust in early May/Orders from the D.A", civil right protests "Better stay away from those/That carry around a fire hose" and fighting against authority "Don't follow leaders/Watch the parkin' meters".
The locations used within my music video use and develop the conventions seen in a thriller. The use of urban sheet-lit roads and dark mise-en-scene is similar to those seen within "The Third Man".

Re Print Productions:
ReplyDeleteYou are wise to keep to the way you've used, developed or challenged layout. You could also mention how propaganda art influenced layout and why you used this style.
Re music video:
Your reference to The Third Man is not a strong intertextual reference re location and camera angles. What about Africa Shox?
Use the layout I suggested for this question whilst also mentioning that a convention you used is the dominance of a male performer.
Thus far mainly basic understanding of codes and conventions. Nevertheless a good start Austen and remember upload examples.
