The band The And Ensemble is pitching a music video for their song. The video will reference the film Grease through costumes and scenes while modernizing it with technology like a dating app. It will show the singer Abby going on a series of bad dates before rejecting her matches. Scenes will mirror Grease while also showing the band having fun and laughing at themselves. The video aims to appeal to younger audiences and establish the band's popularity through online trends.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. OVERVIEW
Idea- We have decided to intertextually reference Grease in
our music video, this means we will include outfits that
would be worn within the early 60s period and mirror some
of the scenes and outfits (i.e. Pink Ladies). However, we
have decided to modernise the video through the use of
technology.
The narrative also includes Abby in a speed dating situation
and her swiping them away as if she was on a dating site.
She will be faced with several different people, Joe and
Angus being amongst them. The video will mimic the style
of their other videos as they are all light-hearted, fun, and
laughing at themselves. This will be intercut with basic shots
of Abby singing to the camera, and the mirroring of some
of the scenes seen in Grease.
Song analysis- Representation of
how somebody can be perfect in
a relationship but it still isn’t
good enough. In addition, it
describes how ‘nobody is prefect’
despite people thinking they are
even though they aren’t.
3. From research we have noticed post modernistic features seem to be used when creating
music videos, such as Intertextuality and pastiches. For examples Ariana Grandes ‘thank
u, next’ where she intertextually references ‘Mean Girl’ and Iggy Azalea ‘Fancy’ which
does the same with ‘Clueless’ by using these post modern techniques it makes it
appealing for the audience to watch as they recognize the reference and therefore
appreciate it.
5. LANGUAGE
Language will be represented through the use of moving imagery within the
music video.
One of the Macro elements of media, cinematography, will be used in order to
reflect Laura Mulvey’s male gaze theory in that tilts, zooms and angles focuses
more of the figures and assets of the female band member- giving the audience
sex appeal- such as the low angles been used whilst dancing to show off her
figure and also close up shots of lips syncing as again this gives sex appeal.
REPRESENTATION
Within the music video the band members will be portraying themselves to
the audience through the use of narrative so that certain aspects of their
personality will come through. The band members will be portraying
themselves as happy, fun and joyful people which reflects what they’re like
within the music industry. They're all about having a good time with things
that come their way as well as working extremely hard in order to become as
successful as they can.
7. OBJECTIVES
The video will address contemporary online
trends in order to establish the bands popular
appeal as the target audience will be easily met
which will increase the fan base.
In regards to achieving this we will feature the
usage of social media platforms such as tinder
within the narrative. Also within the Mise-en-
scene of the music video we will use locations
where the stereotypical date happens such as
at a bar. (Student bar)
Overall this music video will gain popularity
for the band it will allow the band to become
more established. Therefore, in the future
they can have bigger budget.
However, it is not all about being too
serious, they’re just having fun making music
and want people to enjoy it with them.
8. TARGET AUDIENCE
The bands main target audience would
be students and people of the younger
generation, specifically the age range
16-23, as that is what the band will be
able to relate to themselves; therefore
from this audience research we put the
music videos target demographic within
the D/E bracket.
Because we have researched into the
target audience for the video it will be
easier to establish certain appealing
features for the video.
9. COMPETITION
https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8092850/pop-stars-to-watch-2018
We looked into this article about 10 pop stars to watch in 2018, and watched their music
videos. From doing this we saw what we could do to make out video better and more
engaging, this is what gave us the idea of using the references to Grease, as the
audience would be draw in because they would be familiar with the film and therefore
would possibly be more interested. This would benefit the band as they would then
stand out and possibly become more successful.
10. MESSAGE & TONE
Message
The message from the song suggests that nobody is perfect, even if they think they are,
there will always be some form of flaw/setback since ‘nobody is perfect’.
Theme’s that will be included in the music video will be romance, comedy, postmodernism
and performance.
Tone
The tone of the song is light hearted and fun. Which reflects the band members personality
as the brief states that they like to play around when they rehearse.
Therefore this will be visually reflected in the music video as they're willing to mock
themselves and mess around. By embedding this, the band will feel more comfortable also
allowing the video to be created in a fun and non serious way.
