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






The above two videos highlight how my music video fits conventions and typical styles that I researched in my planning stages. Through direct speech and textual analysis, I have conveyed decisions and the reasoning behind them.
In addition, to make certain conventions even clearer, I would have liked to have included a greater amount of lip syncing to match music videos much more. However, the actor that volunteered to appear did not know the song at all so it was difficult to get him to perform more than one line so I worked with this; being a conceptual clip rather than a performance one made this less of an issue.
As well as this, the lyrics tell of the 'sun sinking low in the sky.' Unfortunately, on the day of filming, the weather was not brilliant with a lot of cloud cover so this lyric could not be as successfully matched to visuals. I could not film on another day as I did not want to be an inconvenience to actors who had given up their time on this certain day so continued on regardless - ideally, if it were possible, a nice exotic sunny beach may be better but it can be said that the weather does match the mood of the main character in a pathetic fallacy type fashion so the impact isn't lost too much.
The following Powerpoint relates the evaluation question to my ancillary products.
