In recent decades, the emphasis of the educational scientific debate has shifted to on-line learning experiences, highlighting their power and criticality. For example, on-line learning experiences in the workplace are often considered as a new way to promote innovation and organizational learning, decreasing the costs of the educational or training programmes. Blended education in schools, is considered a parallel teaching practice that can support all levels of learning too. In every day life people learn sharing information by and through the mediation of technological artefacts, social networks or smartphones. Any learning process is always a mediated experience (Engeström, Miettinen, Punamaki, 1999). However, what happens when learning is mediated by technologies?

The document discusses album advertisements for Jay-Z's "The Blueprint 3" and Kanye West's albums. It describes Jay-Z's ad as minimalist and art-house in its unconventional approach. It features a collage of musical instruments in an urban cityscape style. Kanye West also took an unconventional approach with a sharp minimalist ad of a blank CD and sticker that draws a wider audience while appealing to the core fan base through its authenticity. Both ads follow design principles to guide the eye while featuring urban-focused imagery and fonts to appeal to their target hip hop audiences.

The document discusses establishing brand identity through links between ancillary products like album artwork and music videos. It provides examples from the artist Riley's proposed video, magazine ad, and album cover, showing consistency in settings, costumes, fonts, and themes to immerse the target audience. Censor strips and rural/urban dichotomies reflect Riley's background and goals to innovate within hip hop. Analysis of Joey Bada$$'s work also demonstrates how effectively linking visual elements across formats can cultivate a dedicated fan base.
The document discusses linking ancillary products like album artwork and advertisements to music videos to establish an artist's brand identity. It provides examples from Riley's planned video, magazine ad, and album cover, showing consistency in settings, costumes, and aesthetics between the pieces. Censor strips and rural settings seen in the ad and cover will also appear in the video. Examples from Joey Bada$$ further illustrate how setting, props, and style can connect ancillary works to videos and reinforce a cohesive vision that engages and grows the artist's audience.
A questionnaire about the hip hop genre received 100 responses. For age, the largest group (46%) was between 17-19 years old. The majority (55%) of respondents were male. Most respondents were of African or Caribbean descent. Common interests included sports like basketball and music, especially rap. Respondents expected typical hip hop settings to be urban or rural with costumes including jeans, jackets, and jewelry. They also expected music videos to focus on narrative themes and address social issues.
This document analyzes why the artist "Riley" would be suited to signing with the record label Aftermath Entertainment. It notes that Riley's style, including his clothing, hairstyle, and the themes and settings in his music videos, appeal to a wide target audience in a similar way to popular Aftermath artists like Kendrick Lamar and Eminem. Riley's music and image allow him to connect with audiences across social classes and demographics. The document also outlines details of Riley's upcoming music video for "Malcolm Middle" and how its conceptual nature and themes are aligned with Aftermath's style.
This document contains artwork and layouts for an album release. It includes two different front covers showing the artist in different poses. The back covers contain track listings and copyright information. Additional artwork inside includes photos of the artist from a music video shoot and with the producer. Layouts for the spine and disc tray also feature the artist name and album title against different backgrounds.
Riley faces a medium risk of being hit by a car while walking in front of it for a shoot, with the car possibly blocking traffic if it had to stop suddenly. Shooting a sign on the roadside poses a lower but still significant risk of distracting drivers or the crew being hit by traffic, though wearing high-visibility clothing can help warn drivers. Contingency plans include having others monitor Riley's safety and using safety gear to be visible to traffic for the roadside shoot.
This shot list contains 80 shots for a music video. The shots include a variety of angles, compositions, and actions such as close-ups of Riley's hands and face, wide shots of Riley rapping alone and with others, tracking shots of Riley walking and rapping in tunnels, and long shots with slow zooms of locations marked with an X.
This document outlines Ashley Riley's production plan for several music videos to be filmed between October 15th and November 11th. It details the date, location, props, costumes, personnel, and equipment for each shoot. The locations include a dilapidated car park, country road, graffiti-filled tunnel in Cambridge, and a house. Props include a lyric notepad chain, stack of money and car, microphone and money, and various artistic supplies. Costumes consist primarily of black leather or varsity jackets, jeans, and boots. Riley will serve as the artist for all shoots, with other personnel including camera operators, drivers, rappers, and producers. Standard filmmaking equipment like cameras, tripods
This document provides a shot list for a music video titled "Malcolm Middle" by Ashley Riley. The video follows Riley as he raps in various locations, including a dilapidated car park, tunnels with graffiti, and country roads. Many shots showcase Riley emphatically rapping and making hand gestures to emphasize the lyrics. Intercut are additional scenes such as Riley writing lyrics, interacting with a producer, and looking in a mirror with a blank expression while rapping. The video utilizes a color grading effect to gradually restore color from black and white throughout.
Malcolm Middle is a television show about a boy named Malcolm. The opening title sequence shows a mannequin hand flipping the middle finger followed by the title "Malcolm Middle" on a black screen. The show focuses on Malcolm dealing with his crazy family and trying to survive life as a kid.
This document provides a step outline for a music video, summarizing scenes and shots in brief descriptions. It begins with an introductory scene of a mannequin hand and notepad, then describes scenes of the artist Riley rapping and writing in various locations, including a dilapidated car park, tunnels, and his room. Shooting styles incorporate slow motion, zooms, and color/black and white effects. The outline follows the structure of verses, a bridge, choruses, and an outro while depicting the artist and themes of writing, materialism, and internal struggle.
This document summarizes conventions of hip hop music videos. It discusses common themes of poverty, crime, and wealth shown through props and settings. While inner cities are most common, unconventional settings are sometimes used. Technical elements like editing style are influenced by lyrics and beat. Low-key lighting depicts urban struggles while high-key shows success. Designer clothes contrast with rugged looks. The primary audience is African American males ages 11-36, but has grown to include suburban youth. Appealing to this audience involves urban fashion, locations, and references to black history and culture.
The document contains questions for a focus group interview about hip hop music album covers. It begins with greeting the participants and asking about any reservations about being filmed. It then asks if they are hip hop fans and what role the music plays in their lives. Participants are shown a collection of hip hop album covers and asked what appeals to them or stands out as weak on each. They are also asked to identify the most effective, conventional, weakest, and least conventional covers and whether subverting expectations is an effective technique for hip hop albums.
1. The music video for MF DOOM's "Accordion" subverts many conventions of hip hop music videos through its use of low-key lighting, obscure camerawork, and DOOM's unconventional persona.
2. DOOM is introduced masked and lurking in the shadows of the frame, in contrast to typical hip hop videos where the artist is prominently displayed.
3. Elements like the inclusion of a dancer are implemented unusually and serve to further challenge expectations rather than conform to genres norms.
4. Through its muddy and monotonous visuals, the video mirrors DOOM's own unconventional and sloppily executed musical style, challenging expectations of professionalism in hip hop music
How my magazine appeals to the audienceAshley Riley
The document discusses how a magazine cover appeals to its target hip hop audience through various design elements. It uses Ebonics and features an artist of a specific ethnicity to relate to the ethnic majority of readers. Imagery includes elements typical of hip hop like chains and sunglasses to depict masculinity and gritty urban lifestyle. Colors, fonts, and references to other artists help connect with readers and highlight important content. The cover aims to appeal to the cultural experiences and values of its target readership.
2. DEMOGRAPHICS
• Gender: Results showed that 55% of candidates that liked Hip Hop music were male, while 45% were
female. I expected there to be a significant difference, with a far higher percentage of men. However, the
results showed that modern Hip Hop music is largely gender insignificant, probably due to the rise of
conscious rappers in mainstream music.
• Age: With 36% of the audience being 10-15 years of age, 46% coming under the 16- 21 bracket and 18% of
22 and upwards, the music appeals most to those of late adolescence and early adulthood. A significant
portion is within the young adolescent stage, while the smallest proportion of the audience is 22 years old
and upwards. This shows me that Hip Hop music, while rising in popularity, is still young people’s music. I
did find out from the older listeners of the genre, that their favourite artists were conscious, socio-political or
self-aware rappers such as Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and Nas. The younger, and most
prevalent members of the target audience listen to rappers, such as 2 Chainz, Big Sean, and Rick Ross,
showing me that bass and trap flavoured production and a focus on wealth, material and gang related lyrics
are still the most popular aspects of Hip Hop music, possibly due to their accessibility.
• Ethnicity: The majority of the audience who listen to Hip Hop are of black ethnicity (47%) with white (33%)
being the subsequent highest, followed by mixed-race (20%). This being said, many prominent figures
dominating the mainstream Hip Hop industry are of white, or mixed-race ethnicity, such as J. Cole, Drake,
Eminem and Nicki Minaj, most likely due to their cross-compatibility with a variety of ethnicities. Riley being
a mixed-race rapper, he has a large potential not only to appeal to the core audience, but a much larger
mainstream audience too.
• The NRS social grade of my core target audience is C2-D. However, due to Riley’s middle class upbringing
and mixed race heritage, the range could potentially extend to B as well.
3. PSYCHOGRAPHICS
• As Hip Hop has become more prevalent within the public eye, the psychographics of its core audience have
changed drastically. Where once masculinity, notions of oppression and working class environs such as
inner cities dominated the core audience by a massive margin, modern studies show that, although this
audience is still a major consumer of Hip Hop music, a trendier, middle-class suburban audience has begun
to emerge. This presents notions of a shift in subject matter and the sort of artists Hip Hop music
propagates. For instance, in the early 2000s, 50 Cent and the “pretty-boy thug” image was the central focus
of the genre. 2007+ has seen the rise of socially conscious artists such as Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar,
Andre 3000, Ab-soul, Isaiah Rashad and Drake. The masculine “pretty-boy thug” image was phased out by
a focus on lyricism, musical acclaim, and finding a niche in the genre.
• In a survey, listeners of Hip Hop music seemed to enjoy predominantly African American sports, such as
Basketball, Baseball and American Football. Cultural staples, such as an interest in black politics, news and
history are also cited as interests of the older members of the audience. Most depicted an interest in other
black music, such as RnB and Neo-soul, with artists like Erykah Badu, Aaliyah and B.J the Chicago Kid
being prevalent artists in both genres. Some older audience members expressed their enjoyment in
watching documentaries. Due to their heightened, mature awareness of society and themselves, intelligent,
socio-political rappers such as Ab-soul, Tech N9ne and Immortal Technique appeal to them most.
• A significant portion of my audience are also religious, hailing from Islamic or Christian backgrounds, as
many members of the black community are known for.
4. WHAT MY AUDIENCE EXPECTS
• Setting: My audience expects, above all, an urban setting. The typecast graffiti-filled, dilapidated environment is a
true staple of the genre, and is instantly familiar to the inner-city dwelling core audience. Many members note that
the use of unconventional setting, such as a rural backdrop, help in breaking up the monotony of conventional rap
videos. Prominent examples include Kendrick Lamar’s “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe” and Eminem’s “Love The Way You
Lie”.
• Costume: Surprisingly, the audience mentioned many contemporary costume choices, as opposed to stereotypical
representations from the previous era of Hip Hop music, such as baggy clothing. The majority of the target audience
opted to mention fashionable, urban pieces, such as drop-crotch skinny jeans, timberland boots, varsity and leather
jackets, beanies and a certain style unique to the artist. Riley’s eye for massive boots lends to this unique sense of
style, so I have made sure for him to include them in the shooting for the video. Candidates also highlighted that Hip
Hop has always followed a guideline in dressing artists in either very low-key colours, such as all black, dark browns
and grey, or contrasting bright colours, such as purple, green, red and other luminous tones.
• Camerawork: Many candidates express that contemporary rap music is seen more as an art form, as opposed to an
explicit re-telling of gangster and criminal experience. They realise that it has evolved from mere storytelling, and
likewise know that the whole package surrounding it has changed also. As a result, the audience expects the
camerawork to befit the themes and concepts explored within the lyrical content, and also reflect on the artist as a
human being. A far more artful approach is expected, with plentiful art-house cinematography to boot. Static,
symmetrically composed shots contrasted with short, sporadic bursts of handheld are what I need to use to live up
to audience expectations.
• Editing: Typically, candidates noted that cut-to-beat synchronisation is fundamental in Hip Hop music videos,
allowing for fast-paced editing when synced to the kicks in the instrumental, or a slower-paced, calmer atmosphere
when synced to the snare or clap. Many pointed out that visual effects in Hip Hop include lens flair, glitches, TV
simulators, sepia and film grain, because of their wide applicability and authentic aesthetic, tying in with the gritty
realism of the genre.
