production log week one.

Last week we showed our class our initial plans for our music videos, My plan was a short documentary based around the impressions and reactions people give her as she walks down crowded streets looking different from everyone else. After showing our initial ideas I ended up working with Niraj. We had chosen to do my idea however, we couldn't merge our ideas together as they were complete opposites. My fear was originally that nobody would like my idea. However, everyone liked it and i received good feedback.

 This week we learnt about different music videos such as are they a narrative, performance or conceptual. We also learnt about different digipaks and music album posters and adverts and how they look. We were told what to do and what not to do with it. The challenges we actually faced was finding digipaks as they are not as common as most people just buy music on itunes or illegally download it so its not as easy to find in local stores such as HMV and Tesco.

The key concepts we have been focusing on is media language and representation. As the analysis we are doing of digipaks, music videos and music album adverts show how the artist has been represented meaning how they look , why have they been represented in this way. However, for the analysis we need to know key media languages such as mise-en-scene, camera language, editing and narrative. Even for the analysis we need to know the key media language as shown in the pictures below.
