The document analyzes and summarizes the costumes and styles of three indie bands: The 1975, London Grammar, and The Smiths. It notes that all three bands wear dark, casual styles like black shirts, leather jackets, and jeans that reflect their indie rock genres. Band members allow tattoos and some chest hair to be visible, exhibiting a cool, sexy style. Their looks are meant to appeal to fans and influence the styles of their target audiences.
Within J Hus' music video for "Did You See", he uses limited locations, costumes, props, and product placements to portray a "gangster" style and reinforce the grime music genre. The video features run-down suburban areas, young male characters wearing street clothing like tracksuits and hoodies, props associated with wealth and crime like expensive cars and drugs, and placements of brands like Mercedes and Nike to appeal to his target audience. This minimalist approach helps keep costs low for the new artist and keeps the focus on J Hus, portraying the stereotypical gritty aesthetic often associated with grime music.
The document discusses how a media product used and developed conventions of the R&B genre while also challenging some conventions to make the product unique. Some conventions that were used included showing skin, directly addressing the audience, and using luxurious locations. However, the most significant way conventions were challenged was through the narrative - rather than having a happy ending, the female lead dies, subverting audience expectations. This twist positioned the artist as different from typical R&B artists and leaves the audience anticipating the artist's next moves.
This document discusses several topics including men's summer footwear trends in 2010, factors that influence women's fashion accessory choices, choosing dark colors for their slimming effect, the growth of dry bar salons since 2007, and Bruno Mars and Prodigy album chart performances. It also mentions a brother and sister competing in triathlons together as a team and materials used to make sneakers.
This document provides an evaluation of a proposed magazine called "Daily Grind" focused on UK grime/hip hop music. It summarizes the key elements of the proposed magazine, including the title, cover image featuring an up-and-coming artist, featured stories on global grime awards and artists. It then discusses the target audience as urban male teens interested in this genre of music. Finally, it proposes potential distribution partners to help spread the magazine worldwide and promote the genre globally.
Compare and contrast the ways in which the music video uses codes and convent...Ju-at-BSix
The document compares and contrasts the music videos for "I Can See" by Crazy Titch and "Dream" by Dizzee Rascal in terms of how they communicate the grime music genre and reflect social context through the use of conventions. It discusses how "I Can See" uses more typical grime conventions like costumes, close-ups, locations and editing that portray an intimidating persona and gritty urban environment. In contrast, "Dream" uses more symbolic elements and takes a less direct approach to representing grime through elements like puppetry and varied backgrounds. Both videos feature the artists in hoodies and tracksuits to connect to grime culture but depict different social settings.
The costume for the solo indie rock artist will reflect the genre's rebellious and fun-loving spirit. It will consist of a worn leather jacket, plain white t-shirt, ripped jeans with knee holes, and plain low-cut shoes. This casual, grungy look is inspired by the fashion of 1990s indie rock bands and pays homage to the decade that birthed the genre. The relatable, easy-to-replicate outfit will appeal to the target magazine audience.
The document discusses costume design for a band, protagonist, and grandma. For the band, the document examines the styles of similar bands like Neck Deep and Lower Than Atlantis to design costumes of flannel shirts, dark shirts, and jeans or shorts. For the protagonist meant to represent fans, research on social media found fans typically wear band merchandise and casual clothes. The grandma costume will feature a light colored knitted cardigan and dress to contrast the darker band outfits, along with makeup, latex, and hair products to appear older.
The document discusses the relationship between a music video and two ancillary texts: a digipak and magazine advert. There are clear themes that link all three products, including featuring the same location and protagonist from the music video. Images on the digipak and advert depict the artist in a similar style and wearing the same clothing as in the video. Camera angles, props, and overall themes are also consistent across products to reinforce the brand identity and make the relationship between the pieces obvious to audiences. Maintaining cohesion of visual elements and themes across a main product and ancillary texts is important for effectively communicating the artist's brand.
The document discusses the relationship between the artist's music video and two ancillary texts: a digipak and magazine advert. There are clear themes that link all three products, including featuring the same location and protagonist as the music video. Images on the digipak and magazine advert depict the artist in a similar style as the music video, holding a guitar in an outdoor setting, reinforcing the song's theme. The products also share a dimensional editing style of the images to further strengthen their relationship and build the artist's brand identity.
The document provides feedback on Luke Newcombe's digipak design for an album. It discusses:
1) Luke used Facebook to get feedback from friends who are in his target demographic.
2) Feedback praised Luke's editing technique of cutting up the album cover image to give a "dimension effect", which relates to the album title "Dimensions".
3) A simplistic white and black color scheme with the image as the main focus was also well-received as it complemented the editing and made the image stand out.
Luke Newcombe plans to film his music video for the song "Down by the River" at Ogden Water. Ogden has forests, footpaths, grasslands, hills, and a reservoir that connect to the song's lyrics and theme of being outdoors. It also has a windfarm that Luke wants to incorporate into the storyline. Ogden offers diverse scenery where most of the video can be filmed to look like multiple locations were used. If Ogden is unavailable, Luke's backup location is Shibden Park which also has forests and a lake, but lacks grasslands and windmills important to the concept. The third option is Shroggs Park, but it has no water connection and is missing key terrain
The document discusses three props that will be used in a music video:
1. An acoustic guitar, which reinforces the professionalism and genre of the indie music, and will be used to show the protagonist playing chords from the song.
2. A beer can, which will help create a narrative of the protagonist not being able to escape reality, and appeals to the target audience of late teens to mid-twenties.
3. A wooden log, which connects to the outdoor theme and title of the song "Down by the River", and the protagonist will sit on while playing guitar.
Callum Smith will be the main character in the music video. He is a university music student and lead singer/guitarist of the band Violet Disguise. This makes him ideal for the role, as he can play guitar to match the acoustic song and will be confident performing on camera. His experience playing guitar live will add professionalism and allow an accurate performance element. His indie/alternative fashion and grooming style also suit the genre of music.
The music video for "Down by the River" by Milky Chance features both performance and narrative elements. Throughout, the artists are seen singing in a forest while various painted and isolated scenes unfold. The forest setting reinforces themes of loneliness and isolation from the lyrics. Other locations like a pathway, abandoned railway, and campfire further illustrate these themes. The costumes of the artists and children are simple, and lighting remains overcast, conveying a somber tone that matches the lyrics. Props like a teddy bear, monkey, and bicycle enhance the visuals and childlike aspects of the video without significant symbolic meaning.
Luke Newcombe learned about various technologies while constructing an opening sequence for a product. These included Sony cameras, Serif Movie Plus editing software, YouTube, Weebly, Photoshop, studio lighting, and Slideshare. Luke gained skills in filming techniques like angles, framing, and camera movement. He also learned how to edit video, add sound, and include text using Serif Movie Plus. YouTube and Weebly allowed him to upload and share the opening sequence online. Photoshop enabled him to design titles and logos. Consideration of lighting helped set the proper tone.
Luke Newcombe learned several technologies during the construction of his opening sequence product. He used a Sony camera to film footage and learned skills like camera angles, framing, focusing, zooming, and panning. He used Serif Movie Plus to edit the footage and learned techniques like cutting clips, adding and removing sound, and adding text. YouTube and Weebly were used to host and share the opening sequence online. Photoshop was used to create titles, learning skills such as removing backgrounds, adding text, changing fonts, and resizing images. Studio lighting was also explored to set different tones. Overall, Luke gained valuable skills in filming, editing, and presenting his opening sequence through these technologies.
The document summarizes how the opening sequence of a film represents particular social groups through elements of mise-en-scene. It discusses how the costumes worn by the protagonists and antagonists, who are depicted as male teenagers who are drug addicts and drug dealers, respectively, reflect the styles associated with those groups. Props like fake ecstasy pills and a machete further characterize the groups and advance the storyline. The dialogue contains swearing fitting the personalities and age groups. Camera angles are used to depict power dynamics between characters. While the body language challenges stereotypes of teenagers, it matches the expected behavior of criminals in the scenario portrayed.
The document describes various locations that will be used in an opening sequence for a film. It provides details for each location, including:
- A living room where protagonists will search for drugs during a burglary.
- An alleyway where the protagonists will be chased by an antagonist in the main footage and spin-off scenes.
- A park bench where one protagonist will buy drugs from a dealer in an evening spin-off scene.
- A football pitch where another protagonist will be hit in the face during a daytime spin-off scene matching the ending.
- A bedroom where one protagonist will rave alone after taking drugs, with footage spanning evening to morning using natural
The document discusses props that will be used in an opening film sequence about drug use. MDMA pills, cocaine, £20 notes, credit cards, and a knife contaminated with white powder will help set the scene of a drug dealer's house and the characters taking various drugs. The MDMA pills and cocaine will be used by characters to take drugs throughout the sequence. £20 notes will be used for sniffing lines and buying drugs. Credit cards will help set the scene and be used to crush and split drugs. A knife held by the antagonist chasing the protagonists will add realism and danger.
This document describes the characters that actors will portray in the opening sequence of a film. Bradley Smith will play the protagonist Brad, a drug addict with an intelligent personality. Niall Armstrong will play Brad's best friend Joe, a strong but unintelligent man who follows Brad. Alfie Millar will portray John, who uses drugs out of boredom. Jack Holder will have a brief role as the antagonist Wajj, a drug dealer and former criminal with a physically intimidating presence. The actors were chosen because their appearances suit the characteristics of the characters.
The document provides information on various camera angles, camera movements, and composition techniques used in filmmaking. It includes descriptions and examples of close-ups, establishing shots, extreme wide shots, wide shots, mid shots, medium close ups, extreme close ups, cutaways, two-shots, over the shoulder shots, point of view shots, tracking, tilting, zooming, framing, and the rule of thirds. Each technique is explained in terms of how it is used to convey meaning, focus audience attention, or establish elements like location, characters, and relationships between characters.

2. Brad Smith
Parka Coat Within my opening sequence Brad will be
shown wearing a parka coat. This is because
the parka is an iconic piece of clothing
affiliated with the mod subcultures and this is
the type of style his character has adopted. To
add to that, the parka coat also has numerous
pockets in which Brad will store his various
drugs.
This item of clothing can be related to by the
audience as it is an iconic clothing item which
is well known as being part of an array of
different subcultures throughout the years.
Furthermore, the coat is long and within films
the most powerful character, such as
gangsters, are often shown to be wearing long
pieces of clothing. In doing this it portrays to
the audience the amount of power the
character of Brad has.
Brad will be seen wearing the parka in various
ways. During the opening scenes he will wear
it with the hood down and opened up, but
during scenes which cut off from the main
footage Brad will be shown to where the
parka in a number of different ways which will
range from having the hood up and the coat
zipped up, to having the hood up but the coat
unzipped.
3. Brad Smith
Fred Perry Polo During footage which spins of from the main
action Brad will be seen wearing his parka
unzipped, this will reveal him to be wearing a
Fred Perry polo shirt. Similarly to the parka,
the Fred Perry shirt is iconic with youth
subculture from the 80s and 90s,. As the
character of Brad has adopted this style the
Fred Perry shirt further reinforces the look
he’s going for. Brad will wear this item of
clothing in a traditional way of having both
buttons done.
The Fred Perry shirt is also very relatable to
the audience as it is an iconic piece of clothing
which has been affiliated with mod
subcultures through many generations. As this
is a recognisable piece of clothing within
subcultures the target audience of my opening
sequence can relate to the fact that Brad is
trying to replicate this look. Furthermore, this
type of subculture also has connection with
the use of drugs, as highlighted by the
Manchester music scene in the 90s which had
a strong link between the music and the use of
drugs within this era. As Brad wears items of
clothing related to this culture the audience
gain an insight into the type of character he
could possibly be, which is a character who
uses drugs.
4. Brad Smith
Blue Denim Jeans Blue denim jeans are also another item of
clothing which is associated with youth
subculture, for example with the mod culture.
Brad is a character who is trying to recreate
this look in the present day and by wearing
jeans which have connotations of subcultures
from the past the look Brad is aiming for is
confirmed to the audience (a retro look). The
way which Brad will wear this item of clothing
will be with the bottom of the jeans turned
up. Again, this is a style which has stemmed
from the look seen within past generations as
turned up jeans along with Dr Martens is a
style which Brad has imitated from people
involved in the various subcultures within
England. As Brad wears this item of clothing in
a particular way it also confirms the retro look
Brad is aiming for.
Like the previous items of clothing blue denim
jeans are associated with subcultures which
involved the use of drugs. As Brad follows this
style the audience gain an insight into the type
of character Brad is trying to make himself
into and in doing this it also presents ideas to
the audience that Brad’s lifestyle may coincide
with the use of drugs, as his character is based
on subcultures which are affiliated with drugs.
5. Brad Smith
Dr Martens Brad choice of footwear will be Dr Marten
boots. The reasons for this are that again,
these shoes are iconic to subcultures seen
throughout Britain ranging from the 60s up to
the 90s. As this shoe is a well known retro
item of clothing, and the character of Brad is
trying to recreate retro looks, the shoes are
ideal in order for him to portray this. To add to
that, the boot alone is a shoe which indicates
strength and power. Brad is viewed as the
leader of the group and as this footwear
presents ideas of power the shoes match
Brad’s personality and further reinforce his
dominance within the group.
Dr Martens are a shoe which are associated
with various different subcultures in Britain.
Brad is a character who is trying to recreate
this look and by him having footwear which
represents youth subculture it indicates to the
audience that Brad’s character will be
associated with one or more of these cultures.
When added to his other items of clothing it
confirms to the audience that Brad is a
character trying to recreate the style of the
‘Manchester Scene’, a subculture which is
renowned for the use of drugs which
corresponds to the indie/ Brit Pop music
created
6. Joe Gledhill ‘Gledsy’
Grey Hoodie During the opening sequence the character of
Joe Gledhill will be shown wearing a grey
hoodie. The reason for this is because Joe’s
character is aiming for a modern day street
look and not trying to recreate a style from
the past like Brad. To add to that, the hoodie
itself creates a shady look for the character
which fits perfectly with his lifestyle which is
based around illegal activity. The way in
which Joe will where this item is by having the
hood up as it creates an even shadier look in
comparison to having the hood down, further
reinforcing how the character of Joe could
someone who doesn’t follow a normal
lifestyle.
The audience can relate to this item of
clothing as the hoodie itself has connotations
of being linked to crime as people often
choose this item of clothing to hide their
identities. The character of Joe is a criminal
and by giving him this item of clothing it
confirms this to the audience.
7. Joe Gledhill ‘Gledsy’
Black Skinny Jeans Joe’s character will be shown wearing black
skinny jeans. Similarly to the grey hoodie,
black skinny jeans could also be related to the
street look which Joe’s character is aiming for
and when added to his grey hoodie it confirms
that this is the style Gledsy has adopted. To
add to that, the colour black also creates a
shady look as it is a dark colour, although this
contrasts with a light coloured grey hoodie
when added together the overall outcome
comes across as presenting ideas of someone
who wants to aim for a street look which
could possibly be connected to criminals.
8. Joe Gledhill ‘Gledsy’
Adidas Original Trainers The choice of footwear for Joe Gledhill will be
Adidas branded trainers. The reason for this is
although Joe’s character isn’t aiming to recreate
iconic looks associated with drug cultures from
the 90s or earlier, the Adidas three stripes are
still iconic to this day and can be identified to be
part of many different cultures ranging from
football casuals to modern day music cultures
(especially within the Indie Rock scene). As Joe is
a character that is part of the music scene and
also drug culture the Adidas trainers perfectly
match his overall character. To add to that, even
though the majority of Joe’s look is based
around a modern day street style the use of the
timeless Adidas trainers fit within both present
day society and also, as previously stated, show
the audience what various cultures this
character is related to.
As the Adidas trainer is a iconic style which has
been adopted by various subcultures over the
years the audience can relate to the fact that the
trainer could possibly be associated with the
drug and music scene from the 90s.
Furthermore, the Adidas trainer is
internationally known to be related to other
subcultures such as the football casual style. As
the character of Joe wears these trainers it
conveys to the audience that not only does Joe
wear this item in correspondence to the music/
drug scene from the 90s, but to also highlight his
strength as football casuals are known for
violence
9. John Wood
Fred Perry Cagoule Similarly to the other characters, at least one
piece of clothing worn will reflect a subculture
either from previous years or present day.
John Wood will be shown throughout the
opening sequence wearing a Fred Perry
Cagoule. There are numerous reasons for this,
the prime reasoning being both the cagoule
and the Fred Perry brand are associated with
British subcultures and furthermore both are
associated with the Manchester music scene
(a subculture all three of the characters reflect
in some way). Within this subculture there
was a large focus on the use of drugs and by
having characters wearing items of clothing
which reflect this style it also means the
clothing reflects there lifestyle and their drug
habit.
This item of clothing can be related to by the
audience as it is an iconic item of clothing
associated with both the music and drug scene
as it is a prominent feature at music festivals.
As this item of clothing reflects a music
subculture which is closely related to drug
cultures it results in the audience having an
instant connection with a running theme seen
throughout the characters as all three try to
imitate this style and furthermore all three
characters have an issue with drugs.
10. John Wood
Baggy Blue Denim Jeans John Wood will be shown to wear slightly
baggy blue denim jeans. The reason for this is
because when added to the cagoule it is clear
to see that John is recreating a look from the
90s Manchester music scene (as baggy jeans
and cagoules were commonly worn together).
To add to that, baggy jeans which are worn
low down (not pulled up to the waist) also give
indication that these pants could be used to
store pills down them, this is another reason
why John Wood will wear this type of jeans as
in the opening sequence which shows the
three protagonists robbing a house, John will
be seem throwing bags of ecstasy down his
pants.
The audience can partially relate to the jeans
as the style John wears it in (not having the
pants fully up to his waist) could indicate to
certain viewers that there is a specific reason
for this. In this case the reason is John uses his
jeans to store drugs.
11. John Wood
Fila Bucket Hat John will be the only character within my
opening sequence who will wear a hat. There
are various reasons for this and the most
prominent reason is that as John’s overall look
is focused around a style adopted within the
Manchester music scene the bucket hat is an
iconic feature of this look and as John is shown
to wear this item of clothing it reinforces the
style his character is aiming at. To add to that,
John will also use his bucket hat to hide away
drugs within my opening sequence. During the
chase scene while John is running from the
antagonist, Wajj, his hat will fall off to reveal a
handful of pills in bags which will then
proceed to fall onto the ground.
The bucket hat is an iconic style which was
and still is adopted by subcultures, most
commonly featured within the Indie music. As
John wears this item of clothing my intended
target audience will automatically have that
connection and both the style John is aiming
for and also the connotations linked around
that style of clothing, one connotation being
the drug culture which features heavily along
side the music culture.
12. John Wood
Adidas Original Trainers As John Wood’s choice of clothing is based
around the style worn by people involved in
the music scene in Manchester from the 90s,
the Adidas trainer is another iconic piece from
this style and confirms to the audience that
John’s choice of clothing is based around the
clothing from this subculture. The Adidas
trainer is also associated with the football
casual culture within Britain. Similarly to the
reason Joe chooses this footwear is because it
indicates strength as football hooligans are
known for violence. Although Alfie isn’t
physically strong his build indicates that he
could be and by wearing trainers which are
associated with violent subcultures in
indicates to the viewer that John still wants to
appear physically stronger than others, even if
in reality he isn’t.
The audience can relate to this item of
clothing as it is an iconic trainer which is
related to both the Manchester music scene
from the 90s and the football hooligan
subculture. Both of these subcultures
coincide with the culture of using drugs and as
John wears clothing which highlights both of
these cultures it shows the audience what
type of character John is.
13. Wajj
Black Puffer Coat Wajj will be shown to be wearing a black
puffer coat jacket in my opening sequence.
The reason for this is because it can be
associated with a very modern street look
which is directly opposite to the style of the
protagonists. Wajj is a character who has a
modern approach to his style and unlike the
protagonists he choices a style which is more
relevant to the present day. The style in which
Wajj will wear this coat will be fully zipped up
with the hood up as this creates a shady
atmosphere and reflects the characteristics of
the character as he’s a drug dealer.
The audience can relate to this item of
clothing as it is associated with a very modern
street look which is often stereotyped to be
worn by drug dealers. As the character of Wajj
is a drug dealer I have over stereotyped his
character in order to portray clearly to the
audience what sort of antagonist he is and
what sort of life he follows, as by exaggerating
his items of clothing the audience can easily
relate to the type of character that is trying to
be created.
14. Wajj
Baggy Joggers The antagonist Wajj will be shown wearing
baggy joggers. The main reason for this is
because baggy joggers are a stereotypical item
of clothing which is associated with criminals
or people in gangs. Also, as the joggers are
baggy instead of slim fit it could also indicate
how he uses his pants to store drugs, as this is
a common spot for drug dealers to hide there
possessions. Furthermore, baggy joggers are
also a more modern style rather than a look
associated with subcultures. As Wajj doesn’t
try to recreate a style from a specific
subculture and aims for a modern look the use
of baggy joggers confirms how his character is
based around styles from the present day and
not the past.
The audience can relate to this choice of
clothing as joggers are often stereotyped to be
associated with drug dealers and people who
are linked with crime. By giving Wajj this item
of clothing and playing on the stereotypes of
people it clearly shows the audience how Wajj
is a drug dealer, whereas placing him in formal
wear for example wouldn’t correctly portray
this.
15. Wajj
Black Man Bag Wajj’s choice of accessory will be a black man
bag. This is an item of clothing most
commonly related to drug dealers and a
modern street style. Both these factors match
the character of Wajj as he is aims for a
modern day looking and to add to that he is a
drug dealer himself. The reason man bags are
associated with drug dealers is because it is an
item of clothing which is often stereotyped to
be part of this culture, as drug dealers use it to
store drugs and to add to that, it is also small
and therefore doesn’t become a burden when
running, for example from the police or in this
case, when Wajj is giving chase to the three
protagonists.
The audience can relate to this item of
clothing as a man bag is often stereotyped to
be part of a modern, street criminal look
which can often be related to the preferred
clothing choice for drug dealers. By using this
stereotype I have decided to give Wajj this
item of clothing as it fulfils the type of
character he is, which is a drug dealer, and
further reinforces to the audience that Wajj is
the antagonists within the opening sequence.
16. Wajj
Black Baseball Cap Continuing with the street look Wajj is aiming
for, a baseball cap plays a key role in
portraying this style. This item of clothing
enables Wajj to hide his identity from cameras
for example, and in doing this it creates a
menacing/ shady look for his character.
Furthermore, the baseball cap is also another
item of clothing associated with a modern
street style which is the clothing look his
character is trying to portray. To add to that,
drug dealers are often known to wear items of
clothing's such as caps and by giving Wajj a
baseball cap it indicates to the audience what
type of character he is.
The majority of Wajj’s clothing is based
around common stereotypes of drug dealers.
Again, I have used this exaggeration of
clothing items for drug dealers and gave Wajj
a hat in order to clearly show the audience
what type of character Wajj is. By giving him
items of clothing's which play on stereotypes
the audience start to gain a clear idea of what
type of character he is by his clothing items
alone.
17. Wajj
Nike Trainers Keeping with the stereotypical drug dealer
theme I have decided the choice of footwear
for Wajj will be Nike trainers. Again, these
trainers present a modern look to his
character and further add to his overall street,
drug dealer look.
The audience can relate to this item of
clothing as similarly to the other items of
clothing Wajj wears, they present a
stereotypical 21st century drug dealer. By over
exaggerating his character and giving him
clothing to match this the audience can clearly
see what type of character I am trying to
create is.
