 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!

It’s mainly used to show what the characters are heading, and to highlight how quiet the world is, because of how loud those small movements are that we don’t tend to notice. Such as walking or placing down something on a shelf. There’s also non-diegetic sound, which is used to build suspense when there’s climax’s of action. My group will use diegetic and non-diegetic sound to also have this element. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like?  In A Quiet Place the monsters that are hunting them are almost never directly shown. They’re shown in blurs and just in sound. You know there is danger, but you don’t know who or what’s behind it. It’s one of the elements my group enjoyed within this movie. It builds the suspense, because you draw your own conclusions and the u...

There were many ups and downs but overall the experience in A level media has been a fun process and I am proud of how hardworking me and my group were making this short film.
