1. In what ways does your media project use, develop or challenge conventions?
- My video mainly uses one convention that multiple music videos use of many genres, that is that there is clear visible link between the actions in the video and the lyrics of the song for example the games present in the video are the same as in the song, the console box used is that of a PS3 and the cards held up are either drawings or statement from the video.
-The album covers share similarities to that of rock or parody, an example would be the green monster on the front of one of the album covers, the idea was from looking at motorhead album covers with the warpig on.
- My video challenges some conventions as the main character is almost breaking the 4th wall as he is always singing to the audience like hes trying to warn them about the console.
-My video also challenges conventions as it uses scenes missing as a joke, this is used mainly due to the fact that the theme of the whole song is a joke and not to be taken seriously.
2.How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
-The two products mainly share subtle similarities like pop culture references or parody images, an example of this is the inhuman rampage cover whixh parodies most metal covers. or the back cover i did which looks like it belongs on the cover of a metal album. Counter culture cover has multiple references to pop culture all over it which is the whole point as the song is about a form of nerdish pop culture.
3. What have I learned from my audience feedback?
- I looked at my feedback on Youtube and learned that I should use more that one person or change clothes because at one point the main person in the video is meant to be someon else and all thats changed is the mask.
4. How did you use media technologies in construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?
-My main tool for research was the internet primarly due to the fact it has most of the music videos made and thats how I was able to analyse the videos used, I was also able to find album covers which i analysed on there.
-When planning my video i used moviemaker to cretae an animatiic.
-When making my video i used pinacle studio to create my work and edit it.
-in my evaluation i used blogger to upload
it.
