Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
When creating our media product, we looked into the generic
conventions used in real media texts from the same genre. This gave us a greater
understanding of what is classed as stereotypical within the music genre.
Our media product follows the generic
conventions of our chosen genre. This can be seen in all three parts of the
promotional packages.
We looked at the
music videos that was in the same genre and style of artist and looked at the
shots that they used in their own music video and used them in our own.
The biggest inspiration for our music video is the video for ‘Closer’
by Tegan and Sara. The location of the music video and the themes in the video are
very similar. The idea for the trampoline shots in our video was taken from
this.
While analysing this and other videos within the genre we noticed
that the shots were very controlled and slowed down to add dynamics, which is
what we replicated in our own video.
This shot of Ben on
the floor was a lot like the shot used from the music video ‘This is gospel’ By
Panic! At the Disco.
This is also seen in
the music video for ‘the only exception’ by Paramore, this is shown here;
From looking at the
genre I noticed that there seems to be shots of the artist and then the
narrative in the same setting, this can be shown in the music video ‘Royals’ by
Lorde.
The bathroom shots
and the mirror shots were inspired by the shots in this music video. This music
video was a great example to our own video as it had a slower song and mediumistic
settings and shots. Slower, on the beat shots were also used in this video. This
gave us the inspiration to use slower shots also.
There were only a few actual shots that have been used as
comparison against our own from this video, but the others were used as
inspiration. These can be shown here:
