This document summarizes a student's media studies coursework where they produced a music video for the song "So Far (It's Alright)" by 1975. The student discusses how their music video challenged some conventions of the indie music genre while also following others. Some ways their video broke conventions included leaving the narrative ambiguous and not including a performance aspect. However, they also adhered to conventions through their styling choices, locations, and cinematography. Overall, the student aimed to put their own spin on typical music video forms while still clearly fitting the indie genre expected by audiences.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. For my A2 media studies course work I (with a group of fellow
classmates) produced a music video to the 1975’s So far (it’s alright).
As well as this I also produced a CD Digi pack and an album release
poster. In doing so I believe we used, developed and challenged the
forms and conventions of real media products as we followed some
stereotypes to fit the genre and the song; this being indie rock as well
as trying to put our own spin on videos of this type. For this question I
will discuss how we did this.
3. Firstly, in terms of narrative our music video uses both a fragmented narrative and
narrative enigma to leave the audience on edge and help them come to their own
conclusion. The narrative enigma comes from the unanswered questions though
out, for example leaving the audience to wonder why Darcy is crying and the
fragmented narrative comes when we cross cut between happy memories and
Darcy crying again. This is similar to the neighbourhoods ‘let it go’ music video
which shows the two sides of a suburban housewife. The use of narrative enigma
continues visually on ancillary one as seemingly unconnected images (i.e. a
flower and the artist walking down a winding path) work together to create
meaning and significance.

go
4. A typical convention I found in indie music videos was a happy end to the narrative or overall
feel good story. This was seen in videos such as Coldplay’s ‘Paradise’ and The 1975’s
‘Robbers’. Our video breaks this convention by leaving the audience with no clear resolution
making them sympathise with the girl as they don’t know whether or not she is still with her
abusive ex.
Unlike other indie music videos such as the 1975’s girls and Oasis’ Wonderwall our video
contains no performance aspect. Adding a performance aspect is a stereotypical convention of
indie genre music videos and is featured in almost all of the 1975’s music video.
The 1975 - Girls
Coldplay - paradise
Oasis - wonderwall
The 1975 - Robbers
5. We followed the conventions of the 1975’s past work and the work of other artists of
this genre for the styling of the video and ancillaries as we used an easy to read
white font with large spaces and made all images and footage black and white to
maintain a theme.

6. Within the mise en scene we tried to maintain the indie style by having the
characters dress in a laid back, casual style; often including checked shirts, denim
jackets, and American apparel style hoodies. This style is popular among teenagers
and is typical of the indie genre. We also did the majority of our filming in or around
Manchester city centre to contribute to the iconography. This can often style be seen
in videos by circa waves.

The 1975 – band style
7. Indie music videos often show the artist in the video (such as videos by the 1975
and the Neighbourhood) to challenge this convention our music video did not
feature the artist at all. However I did feature the singer on the cover which is not
usually done.

8. Finally, our use of cinematography was entirely hand held to make it seem more
personal and get the audience involved. This was done in Ed Sheeran’s A-team
video to make the audience feel sympathetic towards ‘Angel’ like we have done for
‘Darcy’
In terms of editing we frequently used cross cuts to cut between narratives to put a
spin on the typical one narrative storyline music video. For the shot in the car we
speed this up to not only fit the beat but also as a pastiche of the 1975’s chocolate
video and the neighbourhoods sweater weather.

9. I believe I have successfully challenged the conventions of a real media product
with the creation of my music video and ancillary projects by putting my own spin
on a traditional narrative. However we have still made it clear what genre and style
it is by sticking to certain conventions that the audience are familiar with (I.E. the
use of black and white).
