Deadlines....

So the deadline for the music videos, digipacks and websites is this week - FRIDAY 28th 2014 Before 3.30pm!

You need to speak to Mrs T if there are any problems. You only have FOUR questions to answer for evaluation. As before, marks are awarded for use of IT and how well you have matched content to the media form you choose, whether it is WIX, Pow Toons or Prezi etc.

You should be looking at the evaluation guidance in the purple production pack and making notes. If you are unsure, ask NOW.

Any agreement for things to be late will come from MRS THRASHER only and you will be given a formal slip signed by Mrs T to attach to your work/submit to your marking teacher to confirm the extension was approved. See Mrs T.

Coursework- Mr Philip tasks

You MUST complete the following:

Genre research. Define the genre that you intend to work from and provide a detailed analysis of the key elements of that genre.

Voyeurism- find examples of the male and female gaze in a Music Video. How has camera and editing created a sense of an overly sexualised body?

Intertextuality. Find examples of intertextuality in music videos, what other media text is referenced and what is the impact on the target audience?

Music Video Director. Research and select your favourite music video director. Analyse the common stylistic features of their videos. Ideally this should be of a director working within your chosen music video genre.

Goodwin analysis. Apply Goodwin's theory to a music video of your choice (preferably within the genre you intend to make a music video in). What is the genre of the music video and how do we know this? How do the lyrics relate to the visuals? How does the music relate to the visuals- eg mise en scene, camera and editing? Describe the nature of the close ups and why have they been used so frequently? Any examples of voyeurism in this music video?

You COULD also blog on the history of the Music Video. In what way has it changed over time?

So what we gonna do?

FIRST - I will be checking your blogs are linked and will check how far you have completed your initial research set over the holidays!

SECOND - We will be watching a brand new video on our other topic MEDIA IN THE ONLINE AGE. You will be setting up a new research blog for MOLA and it will be linked to the Media Debates page (link above). Every FORTNIGHT we will have one lesson allocated to a MOLA issue - I will announce in class and on the blog when these will be to best suit everyone.

SO toodle pip for now - see you in the morning :-)
