Ellie goulding media
This music video for Ellie Goulding's song "Starry Eyed" demonstrates several characteristics of music videos identified by Andrew Goodwin. There is a clear relationship between the lyrics and visuals, with dance moves and imagery that illustrate the lyrics. The music and visuals also have a close relationship, with the dance routines and cuts in the video synchronizing with the beat and rhythm of the song. Consistent with record label demands, there are many close-ups of the artist throughout, establishing her image and style. While the female artist is not portrayed in a overtly sexual way, feminine traits like dancing and flowing hair are emphasized. The video also references other music video genres through its inclusion of dance elements.
Types of music videos
This document discusses three main types of music videos:
1) Narrative music videos tell an easy-to-follow story that relates to the song's lyrics, and are the most expensive to produce.
2) Performance music videos simply show the artist performing live or in casual settings, and are cheaper to make as they require no actors.
3) Abstract/concept music videos focus attention on a single odd idea throughout, keeping viewers entertained visually rather than through a story. They allow artists to express opinions but can sometimes confuse audiences.

The filmmakers wanted to select several acoustic tracks to use in the last scene of their film where the main actress prepares for a date.

Media album cover evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of a media album cover designed for a grime music artist named JVowlz. The summary is:
The album cover meets the brief of representing the grime music genre through urban images edited to black and white, which hides some of the artist's identity in line with common practices in grime music. The work is original and credits all involved as required. It includes the artist name, tracklist, and social media links but lacks some legal information. The cover's strengths are representing the grime genre and conveying a blurred, indistinct style through motion blur, but its weaknesses are lack of color and similarity among photos, which could make it less attention-grabbing.

Our music video used, developed, and challenged various conventions of real Afrobeats music videos. We conformed to conventions like using mid shots and close ups to show dancers' emotions, as well as placing choreographed dances throughout. However, we also developed conventions by choosing an urban city location not typically seen. And we challenged conventions by incorporating more narrative storyline compared to dance performance. Overall we both followed typical Afrobeats conventions while also experimenting with new creative forms.

Media work
Our music video challenged some conventions of Afro beat music videos while conforming to others. We developed the convention of filming in a busy city location rather than typical outdoor locations. We also challenged the convention of prioritizing dance over narrative by including more story elements. However, we conformed to conventions like using mid shots and close ups of performers, modern clothing styles, cuts on the beat between performance and story, and including choreographed dance sections.
Styles conventions and techniques
This document provides examples and descriptions of various styles, conventions, and techniques used in music videos. It discusses genres like indie music and live footage. It also covers animation, narrative, surrealism, pastiche, parody, referencing, homage, interpretation, impressionism, influence of commercials, lyrical interpretation, extension of meaning, allusion, links to other artists, and technical techniques like cutting to the beat, effects, miming, use of multiple images, camera work, green screen, and lighting. Examples are given for each category to illustrate common music video styles and approaches.
Evaluation question 1
This document contains a series of questions and responses about a student's music video project. It includes:
1) Shots from the student's video that show links between lyrics/music and visuals, demonstrate how the video uses genre, and illustrate camera, lighting and mise-en-scene techniques.
2) A shot that exemplifies how a record company would want to represent an artist.
3) Two shots that demonstrate the student watching other music videos for inspiration.
The student provides analysis for each shot, explaining how it fulfills the criteria and demonstrates their understanding of conventions from real music videos.
Video research presentation
Music videos began as promotional tools for songs but became an art form in their own right. Directors like Michel Gondry brought unique styles to videos in the 1990s. Samuel Bayer is known for directing alternative rock videos like Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Green Day's "Jesus of Suburbia" which linked together themes. Conventions for metal music videos include dark themes, dark clothing, powerful poses from band members, and fast editing to match the intensity of the music.

This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
