3. In what ways does your media
product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions
of real media products?
4. We looked at different music videos from
different genres. Each genre of music has
different conventions, our genre of pop and
dance music has specific conventions we
have to analyse before filming
5. The typical conventions that were found were
fast cuts and close ups used a lot. With our
music video being so energetic, the fast cuts
were necessary for this to work and give the
impression and atmosphere of this off.

7. We went against the typical ‘glamour’
and went for a completely different
boxing style.

8. Fast dance music is used in boxing
gyms for the motivation and
encouragement
Breaking away from this convention of
glamour was hard to imagine at first as
this is the convention everyone expects
to see, though our music video has had
great feedback
9. Very plain and simple costume
The same jumper is involved, the
young boy received the jumper a long
time ago which has grew up with him
and in his fight which he wins it
actually fits him
it isn’t the typical glamour you would
expect
Editor's Notes
As a group we looked at different music videos from different genres. Each genre of music has different conventions, our genre of pop and dance music has specific conventions we have to analyse before filmingClose Ups, Establishing Shots and shots that give a sense of feeling, Calvin Harris is surrounded by people and enjoying himself.
We developed on to the conventions used in real media together when filming our project. The typical conventions that were found were fast cuts and close ups used a lot. With our music video being so energetic, the fast cuts were necessary for this to work and give the impression and atmosphere of this off.
We went against the typical ‘glamour’ and went for a completely different boxing style.
Fast dance music is used in boxing gyms for the motivation and encouragement, so therefore this is our link between the two different media products. Breaking away from this convention of glamour was hard to imagine at first as this is the convention everyone expects to see, though our music video has had great feedback
The costume used throughout our music video was very plain and simple. It was boxing style clothes/casual clothes. However costume came to be important when there was the same jumper involved, the young boy received the jumper a long time ago which has grew up with him and in his fight which he wins it actually fits him, this is showing to the audience it is the same boy growing up. This goes against conventions of a music video as it isn’t the typical glamour you would expect with all glittery clothes and jewellery you would see in a music video these days.
