By the end of the song, she is looking back at all they have been through and telling him that if he wants to leave, he can leave because he has hurt her enough.
The document discusses how the author's media products both develop and challenge conventions of real media products.
For the music video, the author conforms to pop music video conventions through shots, editing, and narrative similarities to other videos. However, the setting of a park and house challenges expectations.
While the digipak incorporates typical pop conventions like consistent colors and font, it challenges others through its somber tone and the artist not facing the camera.
The magazine ad includes standard information but challenges conventions through varied shots of the artist compared to others. Overall, the author strategically conforms to and innovates beyond real media conventions.
The Digipak cover uses simple black and white imagery and minimal text to convey emotion and mystery. Images of the artist with tears suggest the album will provide insight into her feelings and give the audience a sense of her true identity. While she is portrayed as a "monster", the crying implies she does not want this label and seeks sympathy from listeners. The monochrome color scheme reinforces the unknown nature of her identity.
The document discusses planning for a music video project for an unsigned hip hop/R&B group. It analyzes the DMX and Faith Evans music video "I Miss You" as inspiration. Key elements that will be emulated include using a graveyard location and natural lighting with dark, dull tones around the artists. Scenes will be edited into slow motion. The group's song "Everything Will Be Ok" will address problems faced by young black people.
Rihanna's album "Talk That Talk" features a close-up image of her on the cover taking up most of the space. She is making a seductive pose with bold red lipstick and dark eye makeup. By using a strong image of herself, Rihanna is both selling herself and the album, which committed fans want to see. The cover draws viewers in with her eyes at the center to look at song listings and purchase the CD.
The document discusses the album covers of several rap/hip hop artists and how they represent unique styles that depart from typical album cover designs for those genres. Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 cover is abstract and aims to show a unique musical style. Wiley's Playtime Is Over cover features a blackened playground to represent his "dark and grimy" music genre. Ludacris' Theatre of Mind cover shows him in different positions in a theater to portray himself as the dominant rapper in control of the show.
The video 'We Found Love' by Rihanna tells a narrative story of a hopeless romantic relationship and reckless behavior with scenes of drinking, drugs and intimacy. It suggests Rihanna wants to portray getting past that phase in her life, likely reflecting her real relationship with Chris Brown.
The video for 'Climax' by Usher enhances the song by showing Usher singing passionately, conveying deep emotion and connection to the lyrics through his facial expressions. This simple approach engages the audience.
'Both of Us' by B.O.B. featuring Taylor Swift takes a stripped back, realistic approach without special effects that connects well to the lyrics. It inspires the document writer to consider challenging conventions
Bland describes her music career journey from being an unknown indie artist to rising success. She enjoys expressing her emotions through song lyrics but finds performing in front of large audiences challenging due to shyness. Ed Sheeran has been hugely influential on her success by teaching her songwriting, and they may collaborate on future songs. Bland is excited to perform at the Reading Festival next year alongside Sheeran.
This document analyzes the album packaging and branding of singer Rihanna's album "LOUD". It discusses how the packaging conveys Rihanna's brand through the use of the color red across the CDs, booklet, and digipak. The digipak images portray Rihanna as gentle, feminine, sexy, and innocent through poses and facial expressions that emphasize passion and vulnerability. The cohesive visual theme synergizes Rihanna's brand across all her media and grabs audience attention. The packaging aims to convey that the music will have emotional themes of love and heartbreak through a powerful yet upbeat sound.
This document analyzes and summarizes three magazine advertisements for music albums.
The first discusses Katy Perry's album ad, noting that the background image fits her theme and style. It conveys that the album will be fun and lively based on the backyard setting.
The second analyzes Wretch 32's ad, pointing out the blue/black color scheme signifies his cool and relaxed yet dark style. His name in the sky implies something new, and he looks away which suggests an emotional or powerful message.
The third examines Florence and the Machine's eye-catching ad using her lungs photo. The black and white color scheme stands out against the natural image, hinting at her calm persona but powerful
The document provides background information and initial ideas for a music video for the song "For Reasons Unknown" by The Killers. It discusses lyrical interpretations suggesting the song is about loss, heartbreak, and escaping memories of a past lover. Ideas for the music video's plot involve a male character haunted by flashes of his deceased girlfriend as he tries to leave town. The video would combine the band's performance with a narrative following the character. Editing techniques like fades and flashes are proposed to transition between scenes and create an illusion that the girlfriend may or may not be real. The overall tone is meant to be dark, mysterious, and leave the song's meaning open to the audience's interpretation.
Rihanna has transformed her image significantly over her music career. She started as a fresh-faced reggae pop star from Barbados, but her image became increasingly sexualized through shorter hair, skimpier outfits, and raunchier videos. She has expanded beyond music into films, fashion, endorsements, and her own makeup line. While some criticize her for not being a role model for young girls, she has shown women can succeed in traditionally male-dominated industries through hard work.

With his untimelydeath this beingthe
first single that has been released from
later rapper Juice WRLD it follows his
story with the constantbattle with
addiction,depression,PTSD and anxiety.
Beingwhat is today considered an emo-
rapper the melodyand rhythm has a style
that is slowerthan traditional rap music
but doesn’tbring you in a mood like an R&B track would.It almosthas
a way to get you lost in your head on thoughts with how the with the
lyrics speakingof depression,drug use and how the rhythm just helps
take you to that place so it is well put togetherin order to take you our
your own emotions and place you where they wantto take you.
Beingreleased in April of 2020 this was
the first songreleased after Juice WRLD
after his death of Decemberof 2019.His
fans waited for over for months in the
dark withoutknowing if there was
anythingelse to come or if that was the
end of the road for him. The artwork that
was released with it in his music video is
a great mixture of clips of him
preformingand spendingtime with his
friends lookingto have a great time. The
illustrations that show him as a cartoon that shows his steppingbeyond
this world is a touchingmomentthat shows his presents is still making
an impact here even with his transcendingto the next life.
The performance of this single has done great in the marketplace with
his giant fanbase that he was able to get in his short time having been
patentlywaiting for somethingnew since his untimelydeath. With no
word of anythingne comingand the time going on the fans began to
wonderif there were no new from Juice WRLD to come. Since its arrival
though it looks to continue to do well with on the charts, sales and
2. streaming with almost sure success to anythingthat it to follow it up
because he was able to generate such a diehard following.
Though it is doing well
commerciallyand will continue
to do well in the marketplace
there is somethingthat I think
could have been improved on,
but you be impassible with his
passing.The song though it is
his style and the style that his
fanbase has learned to love I
would have had him to more of
a rap with a little less singing
the song. With the way he sings and the way it is put togetherit almost
sounds as if he is whiningon the record instead of singing and it gets to
a pointto where it turns me from wantingto listen to the track as a
whole.Saying that I would have the say the visuals that come with it
are perfect and give you an understandingof him as both a person and
performer giving him a good almost send off for his fans.
