Evaluation task 1

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

1. This shot shows the link between visuals and lyrics. The lyrics for this is "Don't let my heart go".












2. This typifies the way the record company would want the band to be represented because, this shot is made psychedelic on the guitar riff to express how alternative it is.









3. This illustrates the use of genre in the music video because you can see the instruments we use and the way we are dressed.











4. This shot shows intertextuality because they are both filmed in woods but ours is a music video not a film.







5. This demonstrates our use of camera because it is a shot filmed from the ground at a slightly canted angle. Making it different to the rest of the more average shots in the music video.










6. This demonstrates the use of lighting in our music video because a lot of the lighting is natural which gives it more of a realistic alternative feel.

7. This picture shows the mise-en-scene in our video very well. It shows the kind of clothes alternative rockers wear, and the equipment they use.

8. The first picture I used was of Paramore - Decode, from the film Twilight. The band is in the forest rocking out, this is similar to ours where for certain parts of the music video we are rocking out in the woods.

9. I used this picture of Natalia Kills- Mirrors for the fact that I have watched other music videos because I was influenced by the way there were two sides to her and she was being tugged at by the bad side. This reflects in our music video when Leanne is sitting at her mirror singing about the fact that she has broken up with her boyfriend and is really having a go at him.
