1. In what ways does your media
product use, develop or challenge
forms and conventions of real media
products?

2. What Genre am I working in?
• I am working in the boy band/pop genre
• Below are some links to some music videos of the
boy band/pop genre that I watched to get
inspiration from when making my music video

3. How does my media product use forms
and conventions of a real media product?
• Before I started making my music video I did some research
on what the forms and conventions are of music videos of the
same genres as mine. I did this by watching real music videos
and taking note of what the forms and conventions are. I used
these forms and conventions when making my music video to
make sure my media product has a clear genre to appeal to
target audience.

4. Forms and conventions of a pop, boy band,
music video

7. How does my media product challenge
forms and conventions of real media
products?
• My media product doesn’t really challenge
any of the forms and conventions of the boy
band/pop genre. This is because I chose to
strictly stick to the conventions of the genre
because I know what who my target audience
is, I know what they want to see and I know
sticking to these codes and conventions will
entice them to my media product
