 Hello welcome back! I'm going to talk about my music video's comparison to Taylor Swifts original "You Belong With Me" music video. The conventions of the original music video follow Taylor's exact lyrics more. For example, Taylor says "She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers" and in the original music video, the evil Taylor is in a cheer costume while the good Taylor is in a ugly outfit, sitting on the bleachers. This continues throughout the music video. Another convention is that the original music video has to do with a relationship but my group's music video had to do with a friendship. In the original music video, Taylor Swift plays both the good Taylor (a blonde who is singing the song) and the evil Taylor (a brunette that has the guy that the good Taylor wants). In my group's music video, the good Taylor is the good bestfriend played by Omnia and the evil Taylor is the mean bestfriend who is played by Marlo. In the original music video, there is a guy that the evil Taylor has and the good Taylor wants and that is why the good Taylor is singing about him. In my group's music video, there is a best friend that the evil Taylor is stealing for bad reasons and the good Taylor misses and loves. The original music video conventions are not the same as the ones I did in my music video but they relate to the lyrics and fit the song very well. Overall, had a lot of fun filming this music video and I'm excited for you to see it in the next blog. Bye!

My Critical Reflection

  Critical Reflection Link Critical Reflection A level Media Studies How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film, Shattered Bonds, represents the major issue of mental health struggles that follow being left out in relationships and friendships, that so many people suffer from in the real world. The film highlights the idea that when you feel a sense of hurt in a relationship/friendship it can cause a mental trigger for coping mechanisms such as violence or self harm. Shattered bonds brings awareness to this through the plot. Throughout the film, there are scenes showing one of the teenage girls being left out of the group and feeling a sense of hurt in the fact that nobody is including her in their conversation or activities. These feelings of hurt then revolve into resentment in the film as they do in the real world. These feelings can lead to violence against others as well as self harm. In the film, the girl being left out resorts to killing the girl t...

To begin the sound purely consisted of voice-overs from both Catherine and David, the former husbands and wife, along with sound effects. In specific, dramatic sound effects were used which is very common with...

A Comparison of 12 Monkeys & La Jetée

Heyyy blog welcome back. Prior to researching these two films I didn't realize how similar the two storylines were. I was distracted by the use of still images compared to video sequences to notice the plot. After watching “La Jetee vs 12 Monkeys… which is better?” I see that both films explore the idea of time travel and the consequences for your actions. La Jetee does this through the use of images to tell this provoking story. When creating our own short film we are able to take these to films and use them as inspiration. We want to incorporate more complex ideas that leave the audience thinking. I think our goal of our short film is to really throw the audience off track almost like a plot twist. We could maybe even incorporate the idea of a natural disaster just like La Jetee and 12 Monkeys. After watching the two films we also took the video style into consideration for our film. The La Jetee images are black and white so the film has an older, more dark feeling to it. For th...
