The music video uses conventions of real music videos such as including a title scene at the beginning with the song name to set the genre and tone. It also includes shots of someone driving to reference the song title "Drive" as well as using different color filters to represent moods and close ups to show character emotions, specifically an arguing couple experiencing relationship problems as reflected in their facial expressions.
What have you learned from audience feedback
The document discusses questionnaires the author created to gather feedback from their target audience on music video features and completed tasks. The first questionnaire asked about preferred color schemes, narratives and genres, while the second gathered opinions on finished work.

They learned to maintain a consistent theme throughout, make the genre clear, and not overedit photos to fit the project theme, as audience response is important for producing successful media.
Music video analysis Waves by Dean Lewis
The music video for "Waves" by Dean Lewis tells the story of a young couple falling in love but struggling with the strains in their relationship. It uses flashbacks and changes in filters between warm and cool tones to depict their happy and sad moments. Close-ups are used to show the emotions on their faces. Props like a necklace represent their connection, even during difficult times. Fast editing during the chorus signifies the passage of time that the singer reminisces about happier periods.

Georgia and a friend went to Newcastle Quayside on October 9th, 2017 to take location photos for an upcoming music video. They photographed different areas around the Quayside, including from the top of a car park, near the Millennium Bridge, from the Millennium Bridge itself, and from the Newcastle side of the Quayside.

Classic Rock contents
- 1. A photo of a very well-known rock band takes up over half of the page. This photo will attract the audience’s attention straight way. The colours are dark and classic looking to show that the band is a classic rock. The band members are made to look moody and careless, this matches the rock star theme that magazine is known for. The colours of the magazineare kept classic and mostly neutral. However, the pop of red draws the reader’s attention to certain parts of the magazine. Itis likely that this band would also be on the frontcover becauseit says in bright red that they arethe cover story. A puff is a typical convention of a magazine; it draws the reader’s attention to a specific article of headline. In this case it is an interview and the word “exclusive” is used to make the reader believe that they can only read about it in this issueof the magazine so they are more likely to buy it. The name of each featured artist in the magazine is written in bold; this is so that when they are looking for a specific article to read they can find it easily. All of the artists that are included are mostly rock singers, this fits into the rock star theme of the magazine. The band name is written in big, bold letters so that if the audience do not recognisethem fromthe photo they are more likely to read more about them when they know who they are. A small description of the photo is included at the bottom to explain the context of the photo. Here, is explains that the photo was taken in the 70s; this shows that the band are still as well-known now as they were then. Another puff is used to advertise for free tickets to a concert. This makes the audience want to read moreif they not that they can get something for free. Italso makes the readers become more involved in the magazine becausethey will haveto visit a website to sign up.
