In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conv...Jack Bocock
The document compares the conventions used in the student's music video to those of other real media products. It finds that the student's video follows many typical conventions: it uses multiple cityscape locations; a variety of camera shots including close-ups and long shots; quick edits, beat-matching cuts, and fade-ins to match the music; and portrays themes of partying with friends that are common to the house music genre. Some elements like a fast-forward scene challenge conventions slightly. Overall, adhering to conventions helped the video look professional and real.
Drake released "Marvin's Room" on his album "Take Care". The music video provides a dark and lonely perspective of Drake as he gets intoxicated at a club alone. Throughout the video, Drake is isolated and detached even when surrounded by people. The colors, lighting, and film techniques used create a dreamlike and confusing narrative that reflects Drake's inner thoughts and loneliness. Unlike many other hip hop videos that glorify wealth and partying, "Marvin's Room" shows a more personal and emotional side of Drake.

The video gives insight into Skepta's origins in the grime genre through its gritty depiction of life on the streets.

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning...Jack Bocock
We used iPhones extensively for communication during planning and production of a music video. Social media apps like Twitter and Facebook were also used to coordinate and gather feedback. During production, we used a Nikon camera, tripod, and Adobe Premiere Pro to edit footage. At home, a Mac was used with Logic Pro X and iMovie for additional editing. Online resources like YouTube, Google, Survey Monkey, and Blogger supported research, planning, and sharing work. While technology enabled high-quality work, some issues arose from switching between Apple and Microsoft systems. Overall, modern media technologies were instrumental to the successful completion of the project.
