Evaluation Question 1 PREP

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

PLANNING FOR VIDEO ----------------------------------------------

To prepare for this question, I created the following plan:

All in note form, use the following to prompt ideas but discuss previously created ideas and talk about products.

Conventions of a music video:

• Close ups and mid shots – for emotion
• Long shots during a story – to set the scene
• Following shots and tilts – more exciting
• Jumpy cuts and fast editing – theme
• Black and white filters, other filters – image
• Artificial lighting – theme

Using/developing:

• Close ups and mid shots – explain when/why
• Long shots to set scenes, close ups for anger/emotion - explain when/why
• Tilted shots with band – excitement - explain when/why
• Following shots of battle scenes – 1 character followed - explain when/why
• Fast paced editing for action style, jumpy - explain when/why
• Black and white shots in studio - explain when/why
• Props, swords, toys, etc. - explain when/why

Challenging:

• No following shots of band/singer - explain when/why
• No purposeful artificial lighting ­- explain when/why

 Conventions of a rock genre music video:

• A story with a meaning - explain when/why
• Good mise-en-scene - explain when/why
• Action, fast paced movements, timed with the music - explain when/why
• A band in a studio - explain when/why

Using/developing:

• All mise-en-scene is strong and related - explain when/why
• Fast paced and well timed shots - explain when/why

Challenging:

• No full band shown - explain when/why

IDENT- explain when/why
