Our music video's protagonist's costume


The attire of our protagonist consists of a grey suit,grey trouser and a white shirt.
The monotone colour scheme conotes  boredom and represents how this character is very depessed with his life. The grey colour scheme also connotes that that there is nothing interesting happening in the potagonist's life. The protagonist's choice of attire shows that he feels he has nothing to live for.
The protagonist also wears a pair of tattered grey shoes. We chose for our protagonist to wear worn out shoes since it conotes how the life of this character is very depressing as his life is in tatters.

Real Media texts: Silver linings Playbook


This video shows how Bipolar is presented in the 2012 film Silver linings Playbook.

This is clip from the 2012 film Silver linings playing. I watched this film last year in the cinema and had noticed that the main protagonists of these films were two young people with bipolar mental disorders. Similarily the main protagonist of our music video is a young man with bipolar. I decided to gain inspiration from this film by viewing clips of the film on Youtube. 
The main purpose of my research was for us to study how the characters present bipolar through their acting. In my research I had discovered that the main characters represent their bipolar disorders by becoming slightly irratted which then causes them to have angry outbursts of rage.

Evaluation qustion 4



This is my fourth evaulation question which I had done in the Prezi presentaion.

My Third Evaluation question on Slideshare

How effective is the combinaton of your ancillary texts and your main product?


My team and I decided to record a response as a group presentation. We all took turns talking about different anciallary texts such as our poster and our digi pack. We mainly spoke about how these texts relate to our music video as well as how they contain intertxtuality of Eminem's previous promotional texts.

Copyright permisson letter


Dear Interscope Records

We are A level students from Bishop Stopford’s School and we are writing to request permission to use one of Eminem’s tracks from his Album, Relapse. The track that we intend to use is Beautiful.

With your permission, this task would be used in our Advanced Media portfolio, which involves creating a music video, advert poster and a dig pack for a choice of our own song. We felt inspired by the song ‘Beautiful’ and felt that the message was something we wanted to get behind.
With your permission, this task would be used only for educational purposes and not for our own self promotion; the video would be put on Youtube in order to gain feedback from our fellow classmates. The video will only be seen by our fellow classmates, our teachers and the OCR exam board moderator.

The artist and your production company will be fully recognised throughout pre-production and the final video itself. A copyright notice with wording supplied by you can be included in the records of the project. If this is required, please send full details.

We look forward to hearing from you

Regards

Shayne Thomas-Gordon

My group's completed Music video

This is a link to our completed Music video project on Youtube


My team members and I had complted the post production process of our music video on Tuesday the 26th of April in 2013.
We thoroughly  analysed the effectiveness of our music video on iMovie when we had completed our editing. This had included adjusting the clipsto make sure that all of the clip effects that we planned to use were applied to right clips.
We also checked to make sure that all of our clips were in the right sections of our narrative. 
My team members and I were required to be very critical with our video in order to remove any flaws were evident in our music video.

We were very satasfied with the final outcome of our video once we watched it a number of time and presented it to members of our music video for their opinions on the video. 

The response that we gained from our audience was generally positive and we uploaded our video onto Youtube once we were certain that our video was of top standard.
