1. MEDIA RESEARCH TASK
WHAT YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC?
MIMI LAI

2. THE FAVOURITE BANDS/ARTISTS & GENRE/GENRES OF MUSIC
• Actually I have many different favourite genres like pop music, rock, or lyricism etc.
• But different mood or different location I would like to listen to different type of music.
• For example: party time always have the pop or rock music which is more exciting and loud
help to build the mood of the location.
• But when I alone or listen music on cars or doing the homework I would like to listen music
like the lyricism style as I think that can help to clam myself down and more relax-able.
• Overall, I really love music and I think it brings many happiness to me and make my life
more interesting.

3. THE FAVOURITE BANDS/ARTISTS
• The favourite band I want to talk about today is One Direction.
• This band is an English-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry
Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously, Zayn Malik until his departure from the band on 25 March 2015.
• The reason I like them mainly because their music, I like the style and their words.
• But apart from this, they are very fashionable as same as their music. Each boy has his own distinct style,
but all the styles work and compliment each other. For example, Louis is known for wearing striped shirts,
coloured jeans, and suspenders, and Niall is known for wearing a red polo and khakis.
• Also they love and care their fans as they always try to go out and meet their fans, they have won the “BEST
FANS “ award too.
• They are the kings of social media. They have millions of followers on Instagram and even more on Facebook
and Twitter. They thank social media for a lot of their stardom; without Facebook and Twitter a lot of fans
would have never known about them (especially American fans).
• Furthermore they are good friends too which their friendship is valuable too.

4. ALBUM & LIVE
• I have their album call Four which is the fourth studio
album by English-Irish boy band One Direction, released
on 17 November 2014 by Columbia Records and Syco
Music.
• Two singles were released from the album, "Steal My
Girl" and "Night Changes", both achieving platinum
status in the US, and scoring the band their tenth and
eleventh UK top-ten hits.
• But I have not heard their live, which is a big shame. But
my friends said their live as good as their album, I hope
in future I can have chance to hear that.

5. ONE DIRECTION’S ALBUM
• I think their album cover is very attractive and it
contains their pictures. Their pose looks cool and
always be together which imply their good
friendship as well. Also their song in each album is
very good as well.
• The colour they used always fit their style of the
music which helps to build the whole feeling of the
album.
• Furthermore, their font is very attractive as well,
which I really like it, very special.

6. MUSIC VIDEO
• The video depends on different songs.
• They always fit the story that song try to tell everybody
about and add in some elements that related to the story.
• Also they will show they are singing and the camera will
shot on someone who is singing that part which is an usual
way for them to do the video as well.
• I think their video is good, but in long time that is a little bit
boring.
• However the characters involved helps to make the fans
happy.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-TE_Ys4iwM
• This is a link for their music video.

7. HOW DID I FOUND THEM
• Initially, I found them from my friends. My friends like their songs and they play it in
the cars which attract my attention and then I download their music as well. Overtime,
I think I really like their music which lead me to follow and focus on them.
• The first song I like is called the “Drag me down”. This is the song that makes me
become their fans. I like the words from their song which can encourage people to
become positive, also the song rhythm is very good as well.
• Now I always found their news on their website or Facebook and Twitter.

8. ONE DIRECTION--WEBSITE
• They have their own website which is http://www.onedirectionmusic.com/gb/home .
• I think their website is very good as it shows a lot image and easy to find and used. Also it
looks very interesting and for their fans, that is a good prize as have many their image and
introduce every album.
• Also you can listen to each music online and watch video too, also there are pack of pictres
for fans.
• They did advertising on the website but not a lot, you can either buy their alum or just
listen online which is very friendly.

10. ONE DIRECTION STAR IMAGE AS A BAND/ARTIST
• Most of the image I have seen about the one direction is the
team pictures, I think their image are very good as they always
have interesting pose, and each team member have their own
styles but work together is good and attractive.
• I like the way they dress up which is very fashionable just fit
their sound style too.
• Also for they individual images, I think are very good too, but I
prefer their team pictures as their team is the good point, if
separate up I think will not be that good.
