- 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- 2. Love scenes are very typical in pop music videos and this is a typical example. The location is romantic and secluded and the shot shows this but the audience automatically focuses onto the two lovers embracing.
- 3. This is a screen grab from Rihanna and Drakes music video ‘Take Care’ here we can see like the shot in our video the common pop music convention of romance and love between a woman and man which can help to bring the song to life as a story unfolds of a relationship which normally shows ups and downs of their time together.
- 4. This shows a scene that is of beauty it is a still of a sunset and this adds something special to the video, almost making it seem picturesque. It also helps to set the scene of the video and shows us where the young girl is when she is feeling sad and we can see why she has come to this place.
- 5. This is a grab from One Directions music video ‘What Makes you Beautiful’ this shows another pop music video convention of having beautiful scenic shots in music videos like similar to the sunset we have in our video. This helps to make the video easy on our eye as well as setting the scene for the video. It can make the location look picturesque and add to the star persona by showing they are in luxury locations.
- 6. In this clip the artist is getting some star persona, the camera is very focused on him and the shot is very intense. The audience can feel a connection to the artist and it is almost as if he is speaking to us through the song. The lighting again adds to the intensity of the shot giving it the impact it does.
- 7. This is a similar shot type to some of the ones we have in our video and this is taken from Adele’s video for ‘Rolling in The Deep’. Like in our video ‘Rolling in The Deep’ has lots of simple close up shots of the artist singing which makes it feel very intense and we feel a closeness to the artist.
- 8. This is a typical convention of a music video and it is showing the troubles in a relationship between two people. This is typical of a music video especially in the narrative and it often helps bring the song to life. In this music video the narrative reflects the lyrics and is gives a message to the audience that time is precious.
- 9. This is a grab from Katy Perry’s music video ‘Thinking of You’ as in the grab from our video we can see conflict and a distance between two people in a relationship which helps to bring a meaning to the song. This distance causes an interesting narrative for the viewer and is a convention that lots of people can relate to.
- 10. This clip again shows us a typical convention of a pop music video and we can see that the female in the relationship is upset about the troubles in the relationship. She has taken herself off to somewhere to reflect and give herself time to think. This is typical in music videos and the camera focuses on the character for a while.
- 11. Here we can see the female artist like the one in our video in a quiet location contemplating her relationship. This is from Beyonce’s music video ‘Best Thing I Never Had’. Again the female has gone to a location of beauty which is secluded and is giving her time to think. This makes us feel a connection to the woman and we feel sympathy for her.
