The target audience is described as people aged 16-25 interested in dance.
S1 Critical Perspectives Key Concepts Application
The music video portrays an indie artist, Charlie, performing along different streets with his band. It uses a restricted narrative that maintains viewer interest by only showing what the characters see and do without revealing their mental states. While it follows the lead singer, it does not fully comply with Propp's or Todorov's narrative theories. The video challenges modular narrative conventions by using a mix of split screens, forking paths, and anachronic narratives without separate stories. It aims to appeal to an indie audience through its use of typical indie conventions like featuring a band and rock instruments.
Media work 1
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.

Final pitch
This document outlines a proposal for a music video for the song "I Want You Like Candy." It will tell an interwoven narrative story and feature live band performance elements. The narrative will reference Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time" video and show a girl's school experience and candy cravings. During performances, candy will crawl over the band members to amplify the song's lyrics. The video will use various camera techniques and locations like a stage, bedroom, and classroom to visually engage viewers.

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.
Final music video treatment
The music video will focus on the performance of an artist singing Jessie J's "Domino" in various settings. It will open with the actor in a studio setting before changing locations that correspond with the song lyrics. Close-ups will emphasize facial features during certain parts for conventional phallic imagery. The settings will become darker during the bridge before increasing in pace for the climax. Product placement may also be included to reflect pop music conventions. The video aims to recreate the original "Domino" video through a total performance concept.
Media evaluation
The document discusses a music video created by the author for their band called "Boy In The Element" for their song "I'm In Love". The video aims to represent the London themes of the song through locations along the River Thames and imagery of the lead singer Peter. It was challenging to define a genre for the song, which incorporates elements of various genres like techno, electro, and alternative. The video uses techniques like added lyrics via Live Type, stop motion, and speed adjustments to connect the visuals to the music and lyrics. Feedback indicated the video appealed to both male and female audiences.
