Media Music Video Codes And Conventions Presentationemijean
Codes and conventions are a set of rules and techniques used to construct meaning in media texts like music videos. There are two categories of codes and conventions - technical involving equipment and technology, and symbolic involving meaning beyond the obvious. Codes and conventions allow audiences to become familiar with genres and ensure texts fit their genre. Music video styles include performance, narrative, mixture, and animation. Technical codes and conventions in music videos include different camera shots, editing to match the music, and diegetic and non-diegetic sound. Mise-en-scene elements like props, costumes, locations, and facial expressions also help construct meaning.
Producers strategies aim to encourage sales of singles, albums, tours, and merchandise. Music videos are constructed not just as a representation of the song but to further business goals. There are three types of producers: major labels with large budgets, independent labels with smaller budgets, and artists producing themselves due to budget limitations. Producers use various strategies like manipulating image, using provocative narratives, innovative production techniques, and courting controversy to generate discussion and promote the artist/song.
The document discusses branding strategies for hospitals. It provides quotes from healthcare professionals emphasizing the importance of branding in helping patients recall the hospital name and connecting employees to the brand.

The roles, advantages, and components of strong brands are defined. Steps in strategic brand management and measuring brand equity are outlined.
Wiley's "Cash in My Pocket" music video uses various modes of narrative, concept, and performance to tell its story. It follows the concept and theme of an office workplace in London, with staff seen dancing to the song throughout. While there is less narrative compared to other modes, the lyrics do create a storyline about having money. The hybrid use of these modes makes the video appealing to broader audiences. It represents the actors as stylishly dressed professionals subverting expectations of bankers as strictly serious. Mise-en-scene creates the office setting through buildings and costumes. Cinematography uses mostly close-ups, medium, and long shots with handheld camerawork, and there is no editing as it was filmed in
The document provides information about a short film project titled "A Place to Be Alone". It includes the filmmakers' brief, which was to create a 5-minute short film. Their film was in the Art House genre and was unconventional in its use of sound and narrative, though conventional in camera work, editing, and mise-en-scene. Screenshots and descriptions of shots from the film are provided to show how it used or challenged conventions. Information is given on the editing process, research methods, and technologies used such as DSLR cameras, Celtx, and Abelton Live. Audience feedback indicated the narrative was somewhat difficult to follow and the pace was slow.
This document discusses how the media project of a music video challenges conventions of real music videos. It analyzes the use of reversed footage, subtle effects, camera angles, color correction, narrative, relationship between music and visuals, editing, locations, clothing, and album packaging. The project uses techniques like reversed shots and time lapses seen in videos by Coldplay and Radiohead. It aims to subtly use effects to keep viewer engagement. The narrative is about memories and relationships, a common theme in indie rock. Editing and multiple locations are used to keep the video fresh. Clothing follows indie rock conventions. The overall packaging is meant to portray strangeness while being clean and simple like ads for bands like Kings of Leon.

The document discusses the purpose and techniques of editing in film. It explains that editing can emphasize characters, control the information received by the audience, and influence engagement. Examples are given of how editing differs between genres like horror and action films. Propaganda films are mentioned as another example of how editing can manipulate perception. Specific editing techniques from early films like parallel editing and jump cuts are analyzed. The high-level purpose of editing and some foundational editing techniques are covered.
The document discusses codes and conventions for indie/folk music genres that can be seen in music videos. It analyzes videos by Mumford and Sons, Show of Hands, and Seth Lakeman to identify conventions like performance shots of the band, close-ups of instruments, black and white filters, isolation, and exaggerated lighting/shadows. Key conventions were compiled to incorporate into the author's own music video and relate it to the indie and folk genres.
This document defines and provides examples of 6 documentary styles: poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative. It summarizes examples for each style, including Koyannisqatsi for poetic, America's Most Wanted for expository, Big Brother for observational, Life of Michael Jackson By Bashir for participatory, and A Man With a Movie Camera for reflexive. Each summary highlights key elements that characterize the documentary style, such as use of editing, interviews, hidden cameras, or inclusion of the filmmaker.

The music video introduces worldwide issues like California wildfires to engage audiences and promote positive change. Shots like a pan of the fires and extreme long shot of LA's skyline set a serious tone. Effective editing includes the title "Earth" referencing the BBC's Planet Earth. Research on the video would take the opening shots about relatable issues like mental health and the title effects conveying hidden meanings. The second video uses panning of a destroyed school to set a mysterious atmosphere. Shots like slow motion create different tones. Editing like slow motion allows understanding the narrative while speeding engages audiences. These techniques could benefit their own video. The third video uses an illusion style transition between the guitarist and drummer with discolor
This media product uses conventions of real music videos by focusing on the artist's performance and journey, with no overt relationship between lyrics and visuals. It challenges conventions somewhat by occasionally using visuals that lightly contradict or amplify the lyrics. The relationship between music and visuals uses and develops conventions by cutting to lyrics rather than drums alone in some places. It sticks closely to conventions regarding close-ups, treatment of the female body, and intertextual references to maintain a serious tone fitting the song's meaning.

The document compares the conventions used in similar music videos to those used in the student's finished music video production. It finds that the student's video largely used conventions like a focus on artist performance, lack of direct relationship between lyrics and visuals, editing based on rhythm of the music, and close-ups of the artist. However, it also challenges some conventions by occasionally using visuals that contradict lyrics and prioritizing lyrics over music in editing. Overall, the student strived to balance convention with artistic choices suited to the specific song.
The document discusses how the student's media products use and develop conventions of real media. It describes researching music video conventions like performance, repetition, narrative, and camera techniques. It summarizes how the student followed these conventions in their music video for Marcus Green's "Too Close." The student also researched theoretical ideas from Carol Vernallis, Laura Mulvey, and Andrew Goodwin on editing, gaze, and music video structure. The document discusses influences from other music videos and how the student applied conventions to their digipak and advertisement poster.
This document provides guidance for students taking a critical perspectives exam focusing on analyzing a media production in relation to media concepts. It discusses the concept of "media language" and how to analyze elements like mise-en-scene, camera work, editing, sound, and textual elements. Semiotics, or the study of signs and how meaning is constructed through codes and conventions, is a key way to deconstruct media language. Indexical, symbolic, and technical codes are explained for analyzing horror genre conventions in a student's own production and trailer.
The music video uses some conventional elements of music videos but also challenges conventions:
1) It follows a narrative focused on environmental themes rather than typical love stories.
2) Stylistic choices like black and white filming and letterbox aspect ratio draw from films like "This is England" to portray a social realist genre.
3) Fast-paced editing in a montage style engages the audience but the video also challenges conventions by not using typical lyrical content.
4) Close-ups of the character demonstrate his attitude toward protecting nature and the decline of the environment, applying genre conventions while telling an unconventional story.
The document discusses how a music video project for an electronic track used, developed, and challenged conventions of real media products. It addresses theories from Carol Vernallis and Andrew Goodwin. For Vernallis' theory, the video broke continuity editing rules through cuts, used obvious editing like mirroring and slow motion to draw attention, and had the artist make direct eye contact with the camera. For Goodwin's theory, the video had a narrative structure with the artist as narrator and performer, used repeated shots, had a climax through an argument scene buildup, and illustrated the song's story in a way that was relevant to the lyrics.
Nathan Boothroyd evaluates how their music video uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real music videos. The video uses conventions like dim lighting, filters, and shot types to fit the alternative genre. It also uses conventions like representing the artist by having them look at the camera, using establishing shots, and including effects and filters. Additionally, the video relates its visuals to the song lyrics and paces cuts to the beat of the music. Overall, the video draws on many conventions of real music videos related to cinematography, representation of the artist, use of effects, and synchronization of visuals and audio.

The document also analyzes diegetic and non-diegetic sound, sound bridges, voiceovers and editing styles such as continuity, montage, and elliptical editing.
This document analyzes the mise-en-scene techniques used in three short films, beginning with "What's on your mind" by Higton Bros. Mise-en-scene, meaning everything visible on screen, is discussed in relation to how it engages the audience and enhances the narrative. Specifically, the camera shots, sound, lighting, costumes, and makeup are examined in the first film to convey the message about overuse of social media without dialogue. Close-ups, medium shots and wide shots show the plot through actions on screens and in environments. Sounds of social media are familiar while the soundtrack sets the pace. Lighting suggests depression and happiness to deepen meaning. Costumes and makeup imply the character
The document proposes a music video idea for the song "Dream Catch Me" by Newton Faulkner. The proposed narrative music video would follow a girl dealing with a breakup through text message. Drawings she made would come to life to console her. By the end, her drawings construct an uplifting message. The proposal discusses conventions of acoustic music videos and how the proposed video would follow or contrast them. It outlines plans for promotion, distribution, and addressing potential technical difficulties.
This trailer for the television show "Hollyoaks" uses various camera shots and editing techniques to draw in the audience.

The document discusses the technologies used during the construction, research, planning and evaluation of a media project. It describes using Canon D700 to take photos that were imported into Photoshop for the CD design. It also discusses using Adobe Photoshop to design the CD, inlay, back cover and front cover. For the music video, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premier Pro and Sony Vegas were used to edit and sync the video with music before uploading to YouTube. Google Sites was used to share information about the technologies online by embedding media like videos.
The front cover of the CD challenges conventions of typical hip hop music videos and media portrayals of youth. It features young people having fun through dancing, free running, singing, and athletics rather than expensive displays of wealth. Bright colors are used throughout the CD and ancillary materials to portray youth in a positive light and show they don't need expensive items to have fun or be successful. Subtle links like headphones and limited use of the artist's image provide continuity across materials while empowering youth as a collective.
This document discusses the media products created for a music album, including a CD, magazine advertisement, music video, and ancillary texts.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

6. Music Video Analysis
Chris Brown, Turn Up The Music
Cinematography:
Similar to other performance based music videos. Long shots are used for
the choreographed dance scenes and close ups on the main artist to
demonstrate emotion and confusion (towards the beginning of the video)
Representation:
The representation of youths in this music video adheres to the general
view of them overall. In the beginning of the music video, the main artist
is confronted by others who are wearing animal masks/outfits outside
the club. This suggests that youths are immature and will do anything
just for the fun of it. Also the fact that the main setting is a club could be
an implication that young people are always partying without a care in
the world, again emphasizing their immaturity. Finally the term “turn up
the music” could be inferred to from youths as “party harder” implying
that the more they dance, the more fun they will have.
Editing:
Helps the performance come together, the routines are split up through
the video and the editing helps to form them into one cohesive model.

the rich and upper class. This could be implied as a message that
the youth of today aren’t as immature as others think.

Rihanna, We found love Type of music video:
This music video is a narrative and not a mixture. The narrative
is attempting to cross a state of mind that relationships can be
formed/expanded on anywhere and that its possible to find
love from a “hopeless place” The main artist, Rihanna could’ve
had someone in mind during the video or it could just be from
past experiences.
Cinematography:
A range of shots including loads of close ups, medium shots
and medium long shots. There are establishing

9. Music Video Analysis
Beyoncé, Single ladies Cinematography:
Constant use of long shots to show all three
dancers however most of the close ups are
forwarded towards the main artist Beyoncé to
perhaps emphasize her superiority (and the fact
that she’s the one singing)
Mise-En-Scene:
The lighting creates 3 distinctive points in this music video.
Firstly, the main light/key light which is used to light up all the
dancers in the video against the white backdrop (however
because the music video is in black and white, it appears to be
grey at times) This large light can be the main artist implying
that as dancers or women, they’re equal and all have similar
values. The second point is the fill light which is mainly used on
Beyoncé. This may be used to infer that even though they’re
equal as dancers, as a singer she is superior or the concept of
Primus inter Pares (first amongst equals). Finally the light is

10. Music Video Analysis
Pussycat Dolls, When I Grow Up
Cinematography:
A mixture of shots including close ups, medium shots and long
shots of the entire group. The positioning of the girls though is
rather peculiar. Nicole, the main singer is always in the middle
of the group which scraps the concept of a girl band and
theoretically makes the other four girls back up dancers
(effectively)
Representation:
This music video embraces the idea of self empowerment
within women. The lyrics “when I grow up, I wanna be a star, I
wanna be in movies” is implied towards the younger audience
suggesting that this is what younger females strive for (or
should) The view that when they grow up, they’ll be like the
