THE TEACHER IS A CATALYST FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Teachers play a vital role as catalysts for national development. They are responsible for educating and developing the skills and character of the next generation.

4.how did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, pl...
New media technologies were used at various stages of the project. YouTube was used for research and planning by examining other artists' music videos. PowerPoint and SlideShare were used to create and share presentations. Blogger allowed blogging and sharing work. Google was used for initial research. A Canon DSLR camera and tripod were used to film the music video. Adobe Premiere Pro was used to edit the video. Adobe Photoshop was used to create promotional materials.
3. what have you learned from your audience feedback?
The document summarizes audience feedback from a music video, digipack, and magazine advert created for a school project. Most audience members correctly identified the music video's genre as pop, noting its fast pace, bold colors, and editing in sync with the beat. All audience members saw a consistent theme of paint across the tasks. They also understood the narrative message of a controlling relationship in the music video based on the characters' behaviors. However, feedback indicated that the video's locations and costumes lacked the flashiness expected in the pop genre.
How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
The combination of the main product and ancillary texts is effective because it maintains consistency across elements. The design centers the artist as the main focus and uses a busy layout. Color usage links to the artistic narrative and persona, ranging from dark to light tones presented in a messy, splattered style. Mise en scene reinforces the painting theme through colors and backgrounds. Costume choices in the digipack and magazine represent the artist's negativity and creative freedom. A handwritten font appeals personally and stands out from conventional styles. Together, these components appeal to teens through late 20s by connecting narratives and maintaining conventions across the video and ancillary products.
Similar videos and texts
The document discusses various videos and texts that influenced the planning of a music video for a pop song. It describes how Jackson Pollock's abstract painting style inspired the main character and a paint splattering scene. Yohji Yamamoto's black fashion gave the idea for the painter's costume to go against pop conventions. A "trunk shot" camera angle from Quentin Tarantino films was adapted. Nicki Minaj's fast editing in "Stupid Hoe" will be used when the beat rises. A dance studio channel helped with choreography fitting for pop. Gaining influences while developing original ideas will give the music video its own style within the pop genre.
Theories for production
Postmodernism describes artistic movements from the late 20th century that reject absolute truths and definitions. Postmodernist works often reference and mix styles from the past to challenge norms and express new perspectives. Key concepts include simulacra (copies of copies), intertextuality (references between media), pastiche (exaggerated parodies), and deconstruction to analyze postmodernism. The document discusses how the song and music video "Lyin' to Myself" by Todrick Hall exemplifies postmodernism through its references to other works like "Straight Outta Compton" while addressing current social issues. The author plans to apply postmodernist concepts in their own music video about class and status.
Rihanna digipack analysis
Rihanna's Unapologetic album cover breaks conventions by using a simple color scheme of black, white, and Rihanna's skin tone. It features a nude medium shot of Rihanna with short black hair and the word "Unapologetic" written across her chest. This minimalistic design puts the focus solely on Rihanna's image and confrontational pose. The cover depicts Rihanna's dual personalities - her public image and inner self. Analysis of the cover and music videos provided ideas for constructing visually appealing album packaging while breaking conventions.
Evolution of the mummy
The evolution of the mummy genre in film began with one of the earliest known mummy films in 1899. However, the popularity of ancient Egyptian-inspired films rose significantly after the discovery of King Tutankhamun's intact tomb in 1922, fueling public fascination with curses. This led Carl Laemmle Jr. to produce the seminal 1932 film The Mummy, starring Boris Karloff as the bandage-wrapped priest Imhotep. The Mummy spawned several sequels and the franchise was later revived by Hammer Film Productions and Universal Studios, with the 1999 remake launching a new series of films. However, mummy films have also faced criticism for historical and cultural inaccuracies in their portrayals of ancient Egypt.
History and evolution of the horror genre
The document traces the history and evolution of the horror genre from its origins in gothic literature in the 19th century through its establishment as a film genre in the 1920s-1930s. Key developments included the introduction of sound and color films in the 1930s, the rise of monster movies in the 1950s influenced by events like nuclear radiation, and the emergence of slasher films in the 1970s-1980s as technology allowed more realistic special effects. Different decades explored new themes, settings and subgenres, with found footage and remakes becoming popular in the 2000s-2010s.
