Evaluation Question 1

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

Additional Information:

·         Another example of an artist that has narrative based video is Beyonce’s song ‘If I Were a Boy’. This song is also an emotional song with a story of a woman who believes that her boyfriend is cheating on her and at the start it’s the story of her acting like a boy, doing what he does to her to see how he feels about it.

·         When considering film language, it is important to have a lot of special effects to keep the audience interested. For example, we used a backward effect in the video to create an interesting effect to keep the audience interested. In our video we added the backward affect as well as all of the other effects to show his insanity. Thinking of Lily and the drink is driving him mad.

·         Talking about the formal aspects of the products. The reason for why we had blocky writing on our products is because of the tone we wanted to set. If we had swirly writing this wouldn’t create the correct tone. Also due to it being from an R&B genre it has to be thick and hard like the people who represent the music. We have the writing in the angle on our poster because during our research, we found that this was the most eye-catching and, therefore, attract the public. We placed the rose on our product to represent the love between Connor and Lily, but also the colour red to represent danger.
