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

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



1. A shot that shows a link between lyrics and/or music and visuals
"I'm not alone" is along with "Everywhere" the most repeated lyric. We wanted to show that in a way that she writes "I'm not alone" on a canvas/wall. The link between visuals and lyrics is very clear.

2. A shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artist to be represented.
The artist is in good lighting as well as in a higher position as the camera which can be seen as a higher status.

3. a shot that illustrates how your video uses music genre.
This scene represents a typical rock genre type of set up with the main vocalist at the front and the band behind her.

Like in this performance the main vocalist is at the front and the rest of the band is behind him.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside (live)

4. a shot that shows an intertextual reference
This intertextual reference is of a film called Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei (The Edukators) and in this film there is a scene where two of the three main characters write something onto a wall (also in red colour)


Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei (The Edukators)

5. a shot that demonstrates your use of camera
In this shot I follow Angelicas hand as she is painting onto the paper. It is a simple but effective following shot.

6. a shot that demonstrates your use of lighting
In this shot is the lighting very nice and I like how it really fits to the mood of the beginning of the music video.

7. a shot that demonstrates your use of mise-en-scene
In this shot we have framed it so that we can see a bit of the paining on the wall, the paint bottle, and Angelica's legs, to tell the audience what is going to happen. Angelica is getting the bottle and will 'destroy' he painting.

8/9. Two shots which you feel demonstrate something which shows you have watched other music videos

This shot of Liam, is a typical shot of a guitarist which is often used in music videos. I found a similar shot in one of The Kooks music videos:

The Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be


This shot of me, is also a shot that is often used in music videos. I also found a similar shot in one of Mando Diao's music videos:

Mando Diao - Gloria
