1. Evaluation 1
In What Ways Does Your Media Product
Use, Develop Or Challenge Forms And
Conventions Of Real Media Products?

2. A shot showing link between lyrics
and/or music and visuals
• Brian eats a bowl of alphabet
spaghetti, when Brain starts
eating them the guitar starts to
play which shows that things are
about to go downhill as he
destroyed formality.
• In Miley Cyrus’ “we cant stop”
they is a shot of a person having
twerk on a spoon which shows
the same rebellion in their video
that we intended for ours

3. A shot that typifies the way a record
company would want their artist to be
represented
• In our music video there is a foreboding
shot of Brian dressed differently from his
normal attire, in this shot we can see him
smoking something and it is quick enough
that we don’t have enough information
about the character
• In the Arctic Monkey’s song “Why’d you
only call me when you’re high” there is a
character who appears to speak to the
main character in a brief scene, we
wanted that type of worry the audience
feels in the arctic monkey’s music video to
be in ours.

4. A shot that illustrates how your video
uses music genre
• In our music video when Brian is
almost at his most hectic, he breaks
a bottle to symbolise his full decent
into anger/madness, this happens
as the music gets louder to
emphasise this more
• In the Foal’s song Inhaler there is a
scene where people are firing
Roman Rockets at each other, we
wanted this same sense of anarchy
as this also happens at a tense
moment in their song.

5. A shot that shows an intertextual
reference
• In this particular scene we
took inspiration directly from
the official Brianstorm music
video, this shows a brief shot
of a character to give us some
extra depth into what Brian
may look like, using this
inspiration we took a shot of
our Brian and showed him
very briefly in what we will
start to accept is his normal
attire and attitude on a night
out.

6. A shot demonstrating a use of Camera
• In our music video when Brian
takes drugs the camera starts to
just follow him and not
concentrate on anything else
but him and his own actions
• In the Arctic Monkey’s song “R U
Mine” they completely
concentrate on the people
involved and on not much at all,
we used this as an example
because we believe it is a good
demonstration of camera use.

7. A shot that demonstrates a use of
lighting
• In this moment we see that this
are starting to be a bit dazzling
with the upped contrast and car
lights, we wanted to get this
effect, but had no budget so we
instead used what we could find
to compliment the music
• In Ellie Goulding’s song “Burn”
we see a scene where many
lights come on in the distance
giving the same dazzled effect
that we were trying to achieve.

8. A shot demonstrating a use of
mise-en-scene
• In our music video we rarely see
Brian in good lighting showing his
attire and attitude, we filmed this
shot in good light so you could
see exactly what is happening,
we see the exchange between
two people and it is very
important to see the mouthing of
one person.
• In Metronomy's Music video
“Love letters” the video focusses
mostly on the art that surrounds
them, and it is rare to see them
in a head on way like you do in
most conventional music videos

9. Two shots that show you have
watched other music video’s (part 1)
• In the beastie boys
music video for “shake
your rump” they used
a fish eye lense, we
decided to use it also
as it makes the video
seem unrealistic
somehow, which we
used when Brian was
on drugs as it added
the unrealistic feeling
to it.

10. Two shots that show you have
watched other music video’s (part 2)
• In Brianstorm we wanted
to convey a feeling of
travelling after a doing a
bad thing, returning to
norm, or possibly running
from it. In Cloud Control’s
“Promises” we see a man
who has done something
bad and is running from
the repercussions.
