Question 1

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


Use

Video

- Fast cut tranistions at the beginning to introduce the setting and location


'Friend or Foe' Music video




'She likes to'- The England 10



- Unique features- REC. to make parts of the video seem as the audience are watching CCTV. It also gives the audience something to think about because it is making a statement.





'Friend or Foe' Music video


'I'm a hustler'- Kano





Anxcillary texts

-Simple black background, artist featured with a glimpse of colour.





'Friend or Foe' CD cover and inside





'New age grime' Album cover- Maniac





Develop

Video
-Developing a story with the artist- Evaluating previous events, releasing anger and tension and feeling trapped
. This happens when he kicks the door.

'Friend or Foe' Music video


Anxcillary texts
- Urban framework and infrastructure is featured in the album cover, however I have Jahnoi attached to a wall which shows he is constantly attached and linked to his surroundings.



Friend or Foe CD front cover and inside



'No Point In Wasting Tears' album cover- Ironik


Challenge

Video


- There is no miming in the video
* When a video is done on a small budget, it looks unprofessional when miming is used because the lip sync needs to be accurate and perfect. I believe miming would have taken away the audience interaction and connection that i wanted to create with Jahnoi and no miming would allow them to watch the video and feel for the character involved, which in unconventional for video's from the music genre.
