Setting is the place or type of surroundings where something is positioned or where an event takes place . When applying this to film setting is very important in providing a backdrop to action which takes place. Settings helps to convey a certain mood or feeling for filming and is one of the most important aspects in filming.  For my music video there are a number of locations I want to use to portray my narrative. These include Thetford forest, the beach, a field, a bedroom and a garden. These settings will help to create a neutral and calm backdrop for all of the action which takes place in these locations. By having locations that aren't intrusive means that the attention wont be drawn away from the characters and their feelings and actions during the music video. The two most important settings which will feature in my music video are the beach and the teenagers bedroom. In the lyrics a beach is mention which is why I incorporated this setting into my video. At the beginning...

After doing my audience research I discovered that it tends to be only the younger generation that watch music videos. Most of the older generation don't tend to go out of their way to watch music videos and only tend to watch them if they come up on the T.V. The younger generation though do seem to watch music videos a lot, especially if they are by a particular artist which the like. The younger generation also tend to consume music videos mainly through youtube which shows how uploading my finished A2 coursework to youtube will enable me to reach my target audience. noise targeting eye-catching My research also showed how many people consume different types of media, in particular T.V, magazines, news papers and films, however they tend to do this in a more digital way. As opposed to buying news papers and magazines, people tend to read them online through their phones which shows how digital media has advanced a lot and people now are less likely to consume things outsid...

What are you trying to find out in your research? In my research I am trying to discover many things which will help me in developing my A2 coursework. The main thing I am trying to discover is whether people still consume music videos and what the age range is of people who consume them. I am also trying to discover what other media products people consume and if they think that my idea for a music video is a good one or if i should change elements of it.  When conducting my research I went out into Wymondham town to ask people the questions as apposed to just asking people in the sixth-from. There are many strengths to doing this, the main being that it gives me more reliable data. In the sixth-form there are only students and teacher so just asking them my research questions limits the demographic response of my data to just students and teachers. By going out and conducting my research in Wymondham town it gives me a wider range of different people and thus widens my demo...

Forms and conventions of a music video How are you planning to conform to forms and conventions?  Have you made a conscious decision to challenge any particular forms and conventions? if so why? If not why? There are many elements in the conventions of a music video in which I will conform to in my A2 coursework. however, there are some conventions in which I will be challenging when creating my music video. The main conventions of a music video are mise-en-scene, camera shots/angles and narrative or performance. When looking at the forms and conventions I looked at them specific to the genre of indie rock music as that is the genre of the song I wish to create a music video for. Most of the typical forms and conventions I will be conforming to when creating my music video. I will be using many different props in my music video in order to convey meaning and understanding to the narrative which will help the audience to follow the story behind my music video. I will a...
