Sam Percy proposes three ideas for music videos. Idea 1 is for the song "Let Her Go" and involves a narrative of a boy grieving a lost family member. Idea 2 is for "Wisemen" and features a story of boys who bully the artist facing consequences. Idea 3 is for "Paradise" and depicts an artist performing in a dark room while a boy runs away with his girlfriend to "Paradise". Sam likes Idea 3 best as it is most challenging and different. Potential risks include ensuring the narrative is understandable and achieving proper lighting in the dark room.
My Music Video Pitch
The document discusses plans for a music video for the song "Smile Lines" by the band Incubus. Key details include:

- The proposed music video would illustrate certain lyrics from the song and show the singer expressing the lyrics.

The document proposes two ideas for music videos. The first is for the song "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon. It tells the story of a boy missing his ex-girlfriend and feeling lonely, while she puts on a happy front but secretly feels the same. In the end, he realizes he needs to get her back and runs to her house. The second idea is for the song "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter. It shows a college boy having a bad day as he sees the girl he likes. The day contrasts with the beginning and end, which bookend him waking up alone and receiving a text from the girl at the end. Both videos would feature young adult protagonists and audiences for the
Task 4
The target audience for this media product would be 16-year-old Jamal. Jamal enjoys hanging out with friends, listening to rap music from artists like 50 Cent and 67, watching gangster films, playing and watching football, and boxing. He dresses in tracksuits and listens to rap/hip-hop music that inspires and motivates him. The proposed film would appeal to Jamal as it has similar violent and criminal themes to the films he enjoys, as well as a main character that dresses like Jamal.
Research into Music Genre - Indie
The document discusses the genre of indie music. It defines what a music genre is and explains that indie is a subgenre that combines elements of other main genres like rock and pop. The rest of the document provides details on the conventions of indie music and fits the song "The Power of Love" to these conventions. It then gives a brief history of the indie genre from its origins in the 1960s to its current popularity.
Costume research
Johnny Depp wore bold outfits in two Tim Burton films that looked ridiculous on others but that he pulled off to create new characters. K-Pop groups change their hair and outfits to match their songs' themes when releasing new albums or songs. The document discusses outfits from creative industries and describes creating an outfit for a model that reflected four personalities: elegant, wild, brave soldier, and bold.
Target audience
The target audience for the artist's American hip hop and R&B music includes mainly men from lower and middle socioeconomic classes between the ages of E and C1 on the ABC1 scale. This audience will include "Explorers" per the 4CS scale who look to try new music and artists. Both male and female fans will idolize the artist and emulate their style of branded clothing, chains, and other fashion choices since they enjoy the same genre of music.
Billy Bragg
Billy Bragg is an English singer-songwriter known for his punk, folk, and protest songs expressing socialist and political left-wing views. Though some see him as arrogant due to his blunt personality and singing style, Bragg is unwavering in his artistic vision and political activism, using his music and public platform to support unions and educate fans about global issues. He also strives to connect with fans through social media and his down-to-earth demeanor at concerts and events.

Task 6 Obituary
- 1. Oh…Bo. Comedian/Musician, Bo Burnham (Robert Pickering Burnham) has died, aged 24 after being brutally attacked during a meet and greet after a show. Burnham was best known for his infamous YouTube videos and his ‘introspective material with challenges to the form’ (quoted from the What. finale) As a satire comedian, Burnham often pushed boundaries, this time it seems maybe he pushed it a little too far. A ‘born Bostonian’ (Bo fo sho’ EP) he chose to attend St. John’s Preparatory School where he was on honor roll and involved in the theatre and campus ministry program. 2006 was the year that Bo described as the start of his musical comedy career – he performed original songs about teenage angst to fellow actors/actresses during drama rehearsals. In December of 2006, he recorded and posted his first YouTube video, ‘My Whole Family thinks I’m Gay’ as a humorous message to an elder sibling – soon enough, the video went viral turning this ‘precious 16 year old’ (Egghead blurb) in to an over night sensation. Bo graduated from St. John’s in spring 2008 and though getting in to a college, he chose not to go in order to pursue his comedy career. The talent Bo showed in the past few years’ surprises no one at St. John’s. In June of 2008, Bo released his first EP, ‘Bo Fo Sho,’ signed a four way contract with Comedy Central, met Judd Apatow, managed to get an offer with universal pictures for an Apatow produced comedy anti -high school musical, which Bo promises is not a spin off of Disney’s movies and recorded his first live performance in London, England. This is quite a long way to come in only two years; it’s quite a lot to achieve for such a young comedian whose fame and popularity was almost accidental. In 2009, Bo released his first full album, self titled: ‘Bo Burnham’ – he toured with this under the name, Fake I.D. He also appeared on comedy central presents in March, the movie American Virgin and Funny People as a cast member. 2010, Bo toured with, ‘Bo Burnham and (no) Friends’ for one of his most successful albums, ‘Words Words Words’ in May – he was awarded ‘best comedy show’ in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. One of his larger achievements in his short but successful career was MTV announcing they had reserved a slot for a new show – which in 2013 was announced by Burnham himself; that his MTV show, ‘Zach Stone is gonna be Famous’ will premier, May 2nd. Unfortunately, after not picking up many views, the show was officially cancelled June 6th the same year. 2013 proved to be one his more successful/interesting years as Bo released a new hour long special free on YouTube and Netflix, entitled: What. Although there was a definite change of the Bo we saw a few years ago – it was still invigorating and enticing – the show went from satire to brutal honesty in the space of three minutes. Bo toured with What. and recently released a poetry book called, Egghead: or you can’t survive on ideas alone. Unfortunately, near the end of his college tour – Bo came face to face with an angry fan where his life was taken from us. Although Bo was often seen as struggling, whether that was due to self esteem issues or problems addressed in his more personal song, ‘Art is Dead’ which is an eye opener in to the world of fame and fortune, he managed to express himself through comedy and music and was very successful in doing so. Bo Burnham was an extremely talented young comedian and musician – he had a positive impact on a lot of fans and will surely be missed, the work he did is highly respected and will continue to be even after his unfortunate passing. “I definitely see him as a role model - especially as a budding comedian. Plus I think he’s just a really nice guy. Honestly anyone who can make money doing what they love is an inspiration.” – Nadia Leiby ”He’s this really smart musical comedian. His song will make you laugh really hard, but they’ll also make you think about all of bullshit that goes on in the world….he’s a dumb cute nerd” – Preston Parrish “He’s this really cool comedian that does things differently. He started when he was my age! MY AGE?! That’s crazy! He uses music he uses dance he uses all these crazy mediums. His stage persona is an asshole but that’s not him. He’s just cool and smart and direly funny.” – Hannah Weir “Bo is actually the biggest reason I ever had an interest in comedy. I think I idolize him because that. After watching “what.” for the first time I knew that I wanted to do something just like that.” – Bailey Nicole Kelley August 21st 1990 – November 28th 2014
