(Post 8) I've read a book

I've read a book  Teenagers and Teenpics  'Teenagers and Teenpics  tells the story of two signature developments in the 1950s: the decline of the classical Hollywood cinema and the emergence of that strange new creature, the American teenager. Hollywood's discovery of the teenage moviegoer initiated a progressive "juvenilization" of film content that is today the operative reality of the American motion picture industry. The juvenilization of the American movies is best revealed in the development of the 1950s "teenpic," a picture targeted at teenagers even to the exclusion of their elders. In a wry and readable style, Doherty defines and interprets the various teenpic film types: rock 'n' roll pictures, j.d. films, horror and sci-fi weirdies, and clean teenpics. Individual films are examined both in light of their impact on the motion picture industry and in terms of their important role in validating the emerging teenage subculture. Al...

(Post 3) Research into existing student made music videos

If  had a gun - A2 media studies music video (A Grade): Creativity  I feel this particular student made music video is very creative in the way they have used many different camera shots and angles. for example they have used an ordinary wide shot but rewinded making it look like a times lapse. moreover, they have also used close up, pan shot, wide shot, and extreme close up.   setting/location The setting of the music video seems to start in a town or a city (possibly a quite part of the town/city as we are only exposed to a busy road with not a lot of buildings or shops). however, this then changes about 37 seconds in when we see an extreme close up of a pair of shoes on sand which we assume to be a beach. Then, the location changes again about a minute and half in to the music video when we see the character in a cemetery. then for the rest of the music video we are also exposed to a car park and another street within a city or a town.  c...

(Post 34) Planning- Directorial style

Image
DIRECTORIAL STYLE Is there a particular directing style you want to use? Considering a directorial style when thinking about our music video requires us to look at a lot of music videos and, essentially films. This is becuase to watch and analyse films makes us think  about previous directors, driectoral style, which ones we like and can incorporate and which ones we don't really think are viable to our project.  It also makes us think about our style, in general and how we plan to create it into our filming, camera angles, costume, make-up and editing. It's not very common for us to know directors of films, only the the actual film title or the actors/cast. So, we started to brainstorm movies that we know could be the kind of style we want to adopt into our music video or inspire us into that kind of approach we can absorb. Then, we found the director and discussed the key points of their style they used in their music videos. Are there particular directors you are ins...
