Character list by Ellie Monkman
Ed Findley will play the role of the boyfriend. He is a confident actor who can embody different roles and has an indie style that fits the music video's genre. As the bass player of the band Chambers, he can authentically play in band shots. The author will play the role of the girlfriend since she is comfortable with Ed and the role is small. The extras will be the band members to show the close bond between the boyfriend and his band, and how bands can struggle in relationships. The band members are also confident actors who fit the genre.
How an Artist is represented
1) Snoop Dogg is portrayed through media representations as embracing a "thug" image that goes along with his rap career from the late 1990s to early 2000s.
2) Three magazine covers from Rolling Stone and High Times are analyzed that highlight Snoop Dogg's association with smoking blunts and portray him as confident yet exhibiting signs of being under the influence of marijuana.
3) Across the covers, Snoop Dogg maintains aspects of his "thug" persona through clothing, accessories, facial expressions and proximity to blunts or joints, despite some covers attempting to portray him in a more "classy" or "lovable" light.
Cassy 'O
George Ezra is a 21-year-old English singer-songwriter. The music video for his song "Cassy O'" was released in February 2015 to coincide with his performance at the Brit Awards. The video introduces Ezra playing guitar while lip syncing to the song. It shows him in close-ups making eye contact with the audience to appear friendly and approachable to fans. Shots include Ezra in the foreground singing while four young ladies are seen in the background kitchen. Throughout the video, O-shaped objects relate to the song lyrics and visuals reflect the content of the lyrics as suggested by music video theory.

Costume analysis
In this power point I have explained the style of clothes that fans of indie will wear out and about to gigs and normal everyday life. I have also shown artists wearing the same clothes to prove this.
Costume choices
The document discusses the costume designs for characters in a 1950s/1960s-inspired narrative. The male lead will wear a pastel-colored V-neck shirt and casual trousers. The female lead will wear a cute pastel dress and cardigan. The band will wear light brown suits to look stylish yet fit the theme of everything being "fake" or cardboard. The lead singer's outfit includes a light brown suit, checked shirt, and handkerchief. The drummer will also wear a brown suit and checked shirt, with a bow tie. One guitarist will wear a trench coat while the other will have a quirky outfit to show their original style.
Music video pitch
The music video pitch proposes using the song "Won't Let You Go" by James Morrison. It will tell the story of a 16-18 year old girl struggling with depression after a breakup who meets a new boyfriend. He promises to support her and not let her go. Scenes will be filmed in domestic and rural settings to reflect isolation but end positively. The video aims to portray modern relationship and mental health issues while having a hopeful message. Actors aged 17-19 are needed who can convincingly portray the relationship with maturity and sincerity.

The document discusses costume planning for a music video for the song "Hey There Delilah" by The Plain White T's. It describes styling both the male artist and female character in an "indie" and "laid back" style, with everyday clothes like boots, t-shirts, cardigans and jeans. It aims to portray the characters as friendly and easygoing, focusing on the music rather than flashy fashion.
Costume List
Danny Billz wore plain black and white clothing in the music video to draw the audience's focus to his performance rather than his outfit. The black represents mystery and the unknown story being told, while white symbolizes purity as Danny Billz is released from prison. Young Danny Billz wears his school uniform at school and a stereotypical black tracksuit and sneakers on the streets as a youth. His friend Dizzle, a drug affiliate, wears fashionable black with his hood up to look intimidating. The police officer wears formal clothes to look the part for an interview. Gip, as Young Danny Billz's school friend, also wears his school uniform.
Audience Pitch for A2 media studies
The group wants to create a music video for the song "New York City" by The Chainsmokers without an existing video. They propose following a main character through a day reflecting the sad mood of the song. Outfits and locations will mirror lyrics and the character's feelings of loss. Scenes include getting ready, driving, the woods, town, bridges, and atop a building to end the video, linking visuals to lyrics about losing a lover.
Sam Smith Star Construction
Sam Smith is a British singer and songwriter born in London in 1992. He gained recognition after featuring on Disclosure's single "Latch" in 2012. His debut album "In the Lonely Hour" was released in 2014 to critical acclaim, winning four Grammys including Best New Artist and Record of the Year for "Stay with Me". Smith cites influences like Aretha Franklin and draws from soul, R&B, and pop genres in his music known for emotional lyrics about relationships and heartbreak. He has found success on social media platforms where he connects with fans.
Proposal
The document proposes filming a music video for the song "Commander" by Kelly Rowland. The proposal summarizes that the song has an upbeat tempo making the lyrics easy to lip sync to. The main idea is to film a group of teenage girls getting ready for and partying at a party. Shots of dancers dancing and the singer singing would also be included. The goal is to make the video lively with lighting effects, fashion, different groups of people to interest teenage viewers. Ideas like a narrative story or just filming friends were rejected in favor of accurately portraying partying to fit the theme of the song.
Music video pitch
Emma and Izzy propose a music video for the song "Anything" by indie band Catfish and the Bottlemen. They will tell a narrative story of a teenage boy and girl with a strong friendship/relationship through activities like baking, walks, and reading together. Towards the end, something will happen to separate them, with one leaving on a train. The video will have themes of love, enjoyment, adventure, and feature locations like record stores, concerts, and parks to fit the indie style of the band and song lyrics about a relationship.
Casting
The document discusses casting considerations for a music video for a pop/indie band. It needed to appeal to audience expectations of seeing a quirky, white British band. Four males were chosen - a lead vocalist, guitarist, drummer - and a female actress. Details are provided on each casting choice and how they fit the vision and requirements.
Music Video Costumes
The document describes the costumes for three characters - Alfie Millar in two outfits, and Luke Newcombe. For each costume item, it provides the reasons the character is wearing it, how the audience can relate to it, and how it will appear (e.g. zipped open, laces tied). The costumes feature casual clothing brands and styles that are currently trendy, like Fred Perry and skinny jeans, to depict modern settings and appeal to audiences. The outfits also reflect characteristics of each character - Alfie's are tidy while Luke's long coat suggests secrecy.
The Pitch for Cry Me Out
The document discusses plans for a music video for the song "Cry Me Out" by Pixie Lott. It will tell the story of a girl named Charlie Jayne who is heartbroken after her boyfriend James cheated on her. The video will show Charlie remembering their relationship and realizing she has moved on from him. It will be filmed in a park and Rosie's house and feature Charlie growing happier as she gets over James.
Lady gaga profile
Lady Gaga's career began when she started performing at open mic nights at age 14. She was signed to Def Jam Recordings at 19 but dropped after a few months. She then produced her first song with RedOne. Most of Lady Gaga's costumes and concepts are designed by Haus of Gaga, her team of close friends. Zaldy Goco also designs costumes for her tours. Lady Gaga's expenses are largely covered by ticket and album sales, with her costumes funded through her earnings from fans. Her fans, called "Little Monsters" are commonly young, homosexual or bisexual men as well as women, and they dress in strange, wacky clothing like Gaga.
Question 1
The music video uses and develops several conventions of real music videos. It tells a fragmented love story narrative, as Andrew Goodwin notes most music videos do. It illustrates and amplifies lyrics from the song, showing a woman falling when the lyrics say "don't fall in love" and depicting a card game representing the line "you're trying to play me." The video also employs voyeurism through the seductive dancing of the female performer and clothing of the male artist. Finally, it focuses on building the star image of the artist through frequent close-ups and depicting his lavish lifestyle with many pursuing women, developing his "bad boy" image, as real music videos commonly do through lifestyle portrayals that create aspirational
Question 1
The music video uses and develops several conventions of real music videos. It tells a fragmented love story narrative, as Andrew Goodwin notes most music videos do. It also develops the relationship between lyrics and visuals, illustrating lyrics like "don't fall in love" by showing a literal fall. The video challenges conventions by using amplification, representing the line "you're trying to play me" with a card game rather than directly illustrating. It also employs voyeurism and objectification of the female dancer and male artist, giving it a mature edge. Overall, the video uses conventions like focusing on the star image to create an aspirational lifestyle and build the artist's image, as in other R&B artist's music videos
The goo goo dolls presentation- Mickayla Bailey
The Goo Goo Dolls were founded in 1986 in Buffalo, New York under the name "Sex Maggots" and are composed of lead vocalist and guitarist John Rzeznik, back-up vocalist and bassist Robby Takac, and drummer Mike Malinin. They have released 10 albums and 28 singles as an alternative rock band. Their song "Iris" spent 18 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earned them 3 Grammy nominations. The author is a big fan of the Goo Goo Dolls, feeling their music captures stories and experiences, and encourages others to listen to their songs.
Mise en-scene
The document discusses the costume and prop design for a music video. For the costumes, simple and basic clothes like hoodies and jeans were chosen so that the target audience could easily relate to and replicate the outfits. This also made re-filming easier if needed. The colors of the outfits between the two main characters were complementary. The only prop was an acoustic guitar to fit with the acoustic song and narrative of the story, showing the character playing guitar in many shots. References were taken from similar artists who also feature acoustic songs like The Perishers, Ed Sheeran, and Mumford & Sons.
Band Image Ideas
The document discusses costume choices for a band for filming in different environments. For city filming, the band will wear casual, colorful clothing like lumberjack shirts, bomber jackets, and brightly colored sneakers to relate to their target audience. For studio filming, their costume combines smart and casual elements like colorful ties, jeans, and sneakers with shirts and suit jackets to create a unique, independent look and emphasize their persona. The costumes are meant to help audiences relate to the band through fashion and portray them as young and connected with a fun edge.
1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and ...
Our music video for an indie pop song incorporates conventions from both genres while challenging some conventions:
- We used locations, costumes, casting, and themes that drew from both indie and pop music videos to create a hybrid style for our indie pop song.
- However, we subverted pop conventions by including a "clapping scene" which is more common in folk and country music videos.
- Upon reflection, we realized we could have been more precise filming our actress moving between four frames to maintain consistent sizing.
- We also adjusted our plans to include only two couples rather than four to make the video more realistic and authentic.
Q 1
Our music video for an indie pop song incorporates conventions from both genres while also challenging some expectations.
We featured two couples of different ages to represent relationships at different stages of life. The costumes helped distinguish the couples and locate them in scenes appropriate to their age, while still maintaining a balance of indie and pop aesthetics for the female artist.
Though pop music videos typically focus on the artist, we included a "clapping scene" that drew from folk influences but fit the acoustic portion of our song. Overall, the video conformed to research on conventions for both genres but took some risks in blending them.

Characters/Costumes
The document discusses the costumes and appearances of the characters in a music video. It will feature a band performing, with all band members wearing dark clothing to be seen as a group rather than individuals. The lead singer will be the main focus and wear a black polo, jeans, and trainers. The guitarist and bassist will also wear dark, simple clothing to draw attention to their instruments rather than their appearances. Narrative characters in the video will contrast the band by not wearing all black. The male narrative character will wear neutral colors like beige and blue to avoid revealing his personality, while the female will wear green and red to suggest a connection to the male character and past.
Costume Design
The document discusses costume design plans for different characters in a band performance. For the band members, the costume will be inspired by popular bands Neck Deep, Lower Than Atlantis and Basement in the same genre, taking cues from their typical style of long sleeved shirts, dark jeans or shorts, and sneakers. For the protagonist character meant to represent target audience members, the costume will resemble styles seen on fans of those bands on social media sites like Tumblr, such as band merchandise t-shirts and caps. Finally, for a grandma character, the costume will feature a knitted cardigan, lighter colored dress, and age-making makeup and hair techniques learned from tutorial videos.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Costume Analysis
- 1. { COSTUME ANALYSIS Of the boyfriend, girlfriend and band members
- 2. THE BOYFRIEND The way that the actor dresses in general is exactly how we wanted the actor to look in terms of style and general attire. The actor, Ed, usually dresses in black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt, and chunky boots. He sometimes wears a leather jacket, and sometimes a baggy jumper or a flannel shirt over his white shirt. This style reflects the indie genre perfectly, and the way his different outfits work pull together our narrative and band shots well. We wanted this character to look very indie as then it is reflective of the genre of music video, so that there was a clear link between the music and the characters.
- 3. THE GIRLFRIEND The girlfriend will be in clothes that are similar to that of the boyfriends, to show that they share similar interests, and she will be wearing comfy clothes to show that they have been together a long time as they are comfortable around each other. This is also quite easy to achieve as I own clothes similar to what we are trying to achieve. We want the girlfriend to look slightly out of place, so we know that they are interested in the same thing but she is quite mish matched in the way she dresses, as though she doesn't’t really follow certain styles etc.
- 4. EXTRAS/BAND MEMBERS For the extras and band members they will also be wearing their normal day to day clothes, as like Ed, they all wear relatively indie clothes anyway. The lead singer, Laurence, regularly wears baggy grey tops with a small waistcoat with it, with skinny black jeans and pointy boots. This style is clearly heavily influenced by the indie fashion as is inspired by many different band members such as Mumford & Sons and Biffy Clyro. The Drummer, Alex also dresses quite indie too, wearing skinny jeans and baggy tshirts with cardigans.
