How does your music video challenge conventions
This document discusses how the media product, a music video, uses and develops forms and conventions from real media products that the creator studied. It provides examples of how the music video was inspired by techniques from films like Psycho, Fight Club, The Tracey Fragments, and City of God. It also discusses how the music video challenges conventions through experimental techniques but still follows traditional conventions like coordinating the visuals with the music.
What have you learnt from audience feedback
The document discusses feedback received on a student's music video project from their target audience of fellow media studies students via online surveys and YouTube comments. The feedback addressed whether the visuals in the music video properly represented the experimental electronic track and provided constructive criticism on specific elements. The student learned that while their intentions were to challenge conventions, a music video still aims to promote the music. Overall audience feedback helped the student improve and showed how their project evolved from initial ideas to the final version.

The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a music video, DVD digipak, and print advert created by the student for a media studies project. Consistencies across the elements included font, swirling Photoshop brush patterns, and using images from the same photoshoot. Feedback was gathered from the target audience through surveys to evaluate if the combination successfully appealed to them. Responses provided constructive feedback on the construction of the DVD digipak and magazine advert.
How did you_use_new_media_technologies
The document discusses how new media technologies were used throughout the research, planning, construction and evaluation stages of a media studies project. It provides examples of using Photoshop, Premiere Pro, YouTube, and social media to research styles, find inspiration, communicate with professionals, construct graphics and videos, and gather audience feedback. The project included a music video, digipak, and magazine advertisement that were all informed by online research and created using various software programs and production equipment.
Influences and references in my music video
This document lists the titles of films, songs, bands, and other media known for their distinctive visual styles involving tracking shots that follow subjects through space from different angles or perspectives. It also includes the name Alex Chenery-Howes and the number 297675.
Digipak Design
The document discusses plans for designing a digipak for an artist. It will feature a bold, high-quality photograph as well as the artist's logo and album title. The design aims to look professional while conveying an edgy, artistic style suited to the music. Research will be done on the artist's style to ensure consistency across the digipak, magazine advert, and music video. A photoshoot is planned that will experiment with lighting, blur, and a black backdrop to capture the artist's style and aesthetic.
Digipak design
The document discusses design considerations for a digipak for an artist. It aims for a professional, high quality look without being overly complicated. The design will feature a bold photograph of the artist, their logo, and album title on a minimalist white background. This style is inspired by magazines like Wonderland and Dazed and Confused. The design also needs a common element to tie it to other promotional materials like advertisements and music videos for the artist.
Researching studio narrative timings
The document discusses doing a 3 minute music video that switches between studio footage and a narrative storyline. It recommends researching the balance and timing between the two types of footage used in a music video. An example given is an excerpt from the music video Left Behind by Slipknot.

Music video fashion ideas
The document provides style and costume inspiration for a music video character and band. It suggests that the protagonist is lonely, fragile, and overprotected by parents who choose his clothes. For the band, it recommends wearing black clothing like masks, trench coats, and leather to appear mysterious and sinister at first, then revealing simple black t-shirts and jeans while playing their music. Inspirations include horror movies, Slipknot, and A Clockwork Orange for the masks and costumes.
Transition project reflection
The author reflects on a music video they created, noting that while they liked the black and white style, the video lacked a coherent plot and their performance felt overdramatic. They acknowledge lessons learned about planning ideas in advance and rehearsing performances. Though the urban location captured the song's tone, the enclosed space limited what they could do, and overall the video felt unoriginal and failed to represent them fully.
Music video research
The document discusses music videos that inspire the author's own video project. Specifically:
1) Aphex Twin's "Come To Daddy" video, praised for its slightly abstract but followable plotline and cinematic quality on a small budget.
2) M.I.A.'s "Born Free" video, known for its political metaphors and banning for explicit content. The author admires its controversy and cinematic techniques.
3) Steven Wilson's "Harmony Korine" video, inspired by Dali's surrealist film, praised for its sharp images, European surrealism influences, and disturbing nature.

My Front Page Analysis
The document discusses the design choices made for a college magazine cover. A black background was chosen to make the magazine stand out from others. Photoshop was used to add graphics and color to the otherwise plain front cover photo. Brushes of both masculine and feminine styles were included to make the cover appealing to all audiences. The main photo featured a student with headphones to represent both art and music aspects of the college. Challenges included selecting a title and quote that were humorous but not offensive or preachy. A skyline graphic and minimal text information were also included on the cover design.
College Magazine Research
This document summarizes a college magazine called "Less Common More Sense" published by the Student's Union at the University of the Arts London. Each issue covers a different topic, such as politics or more mature uncensored topics. The magazine relies heavily on strong images and bold photography alongside some written articles to engage its intended student audience.
Album Covers
The document discusses several album covers and what they convey about the bands and their music. The Rage Against the Machine cover suggests their rawness and nonconformist attitude. The Gutter Twins cover depicts bleak and haunting imagery to represent their alternative rock sound. The Ramones cover shows the band dressed casually against a wall, conveying their attitude and nonconforming style. The Clash's London Calling uses a simple black and white photograph that highlights their aggression and energy while keeping the design simple but prominent. The Libertines cover implies intoxication and tattoos reference their alternative music. The Smiths' bold imagery and political title conveys their values and experimentation. The Velvet Underground cover experiments
