A convention is the expected style and 'formula' of a specific media product. The expected features are different for different star images and audiences. There are 3 main parts of a music video convention: generic ingredients - eg. elements of a video generic style - eg. visuals, camera, editing, colour scheme, costume, lighting generic structure - eg. how the video is arranged (performance/narrative)...
We're making a prezi on the genre conventions of blues-rock - the genre of our band - and have found similar bands to compare them to. Here's a screen recording that Phil took of us working on the prezi together. ...
Lighting ideas for the studio performance: Lighting idea for the interrogation scene - mainly dark but with one harsh light: ...
These are our rough ideas for the sets we need, with some notes on the side about lighting and what may need changing. ...
Pitch 1 We pitched our two ideas to Luke, starting with the bowling alley one. He said that he liked the theme of bright colours, and that the song fits it, however, he asked us if we'd actually contacted the location and got a positive result (which we hadn't) so that'd be the first thing we did or the video wouldn't work. If...
This video is an example of how the police do fingerprinting with paper and ink, which we could use use as a basis for one of our elements. A police polygraph would work with the lipsync, and could be done in the studio. Only issue is how to find a real one one / recreate one that looks realistic. There's also police interrogation...
A video done in 2006 by the school has a similar idea ours, and is effective in some ways, but not in others. Parts of it look very staged which don't quite work, so we're hoping to make it look more professional, and we want to avoid using a prison set. This one has a much higher budget and a narrative (which we...
I've had a look at bowling alleys near us and have found a few contenders: 1. Guildford Spectrum: very close to us, but does not have the neon look we're going for. It's too plain and wouldn't come across very well on camera. 2. The Big Apple, Woking: again, quite near to us, and has quite a cool neon look to it. (Also...

After choosing our 2 ideas, we chose to use prezi because all 3 of us could work on it at the same time. We had to do a presentation for each because if idea 1 isn't greenlit then we present idea 2 so we might not have to go back to the drawing board. Idea 1 We still haven't chosen a song for...
Luke came into our class today to tell us the dos and don'ts of music videos. He showed us some treatments for some real music videos, and how they look going from from paper to the screen. Do: include a performance element because you can get a lot of shots from it, and the viewers can see who the artist is (and who...
Today we got put into our groups for the music videos. There are 3 people in my group, me, Phil and H, and I think we'll work well together. We created a longlist of all our ideas (there were 9 in total), and from that we created our shortlist by going through each one and thinking about if we all liked it, how...
This week I pitched my music video ideas to Phil and the class. I put my blog up on the screen and went through each idea, showing them the songs I want to use, the images that went with the ideas, and the storyline that went with it (if there was one). Here is the video of the feedback (my phone ran out...
