Preliminary exercise: Research and planning   1) State the  song  you have chosen for your preliminary exercise. Scars to your beautiful - Alessia Cara  2) Choose at least  three  music videos similar to your concept and watch a clip or more from each. Make  bullet-point notes  on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene. Nobody Gets Me SZA  1. Camerawork The camerawork in "Nobody Gets Me" is quite distinct and adds to the intimate, raw nature of the song. Close-Up Shots : The video prominently uses close-ups of SZA, often holding these shots for extended periods. This creates a sense of intimacy and highlights her vulnerability, as viewers can see her facial expressions clearly, feeling her emotions deeply. Handheld Camera : The camera movements often have a handheld, slightly shaky quality. This style makes the video feel more organic and personal, emphasizing a sense of authenticity, like we are getting an unfiltered glimpse into SZA’s

  Intuition by Sopiga cinematography/camerawork : composition, framing, BCU, CU, MS, LS, pan, tilt, tracking shot, zoom - The camera used was really clear so we could see everything clearly. The camera work was steady a lot of the time. Wide shot was used  a lot as well as some close ups. mise-en-scéne : clothing, props, gestures, facial expressions, sets, setting (CLAMPS) - It was a casual setting mostly at home. The facial expressions that were used were realistic making it it appealing to the audience since the actors were acting properly. lighting : key light, back light, filler light; underlighting, top lighting, back lighting; low-key/high-key lighting - Top lighting was used a lot as well as some lighting from the corners. Natural lighting from outside was used a lot from the sun. sound : diegetic/non-diegetic; on/off screen, sound bridge; parallel/contrapuntal sound, voiceover narration - The sound was really clear letting us hear it properly, there was diegetic sound used.  A

1) Research: music videos Music Video 1 : Gangsta Kelhani In the music video for "Gangsta" by Kehlani, the camerawork plays a crucial role in establishing the mood and enhancing the thematic elements. The video frequently uses close-up shots of Kehlani, creating an intimate connection with the viewer and emphasising her emotional vulnerability. The camera often moves slowly, matching the song's haunting and sultry tone , which deepens the sense of melancholy and intensity. Low-angle shots are employed to convey power and resilience, aligning with the lyrics' themes of strength and survival. The colour palette is muted, and the lighting is dim, with strategic highlights on Kehlani’s face, drawing focus to her expressions . Additionally, the use of shallow depth of field isolates Kehlani from the background , symbolizing her internal struggle and sense of isolation. Overall, the camerawork meticulously complements the song's emotional depth, amplifying its i

  1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).  WWW: A good grasp of the theory. EBI: Consider how different audiences responded to D83. 2) Read  the mark scheme for this exam carefully , paying particular attention to the 'indicative content' for each question. Firstly, focus on the unseen question and identify two aspects of the poster that you could have written about in your answer. • The use of props to denote the narrative and genre elements • The use of costume and props to construct teen stereotypes (leather/biker jacket, cat ears, red dress) 3) Look at the indicative content for Q1 again and make a note of any theories or examples of media terminology you could have used in your answer. • the way events, issues, individuals and social groups (including social identity) are represented through processes of selection and combination. 4) Now focus on the TV 25-marker. Read  this exemplar response for the TV question  and pi

1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep tis confidential) WWW: Good attempt to incorporate various theories.                                                                                                                   EBI: Less descriptive and more reference to the question, also considering ways they are not ideological.     2) Read  the whole mark scheme for this assessment  carefully. Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment (even if you got full marks for the question). 1) A range of different genres are suggested on the poster – e.g. the background is almost space (sci-fi); the silver symbol in the background alludes to comic books/Marvel universe; the woman on the left suggests martial arts or kung-fu movies – this is reinforced by the faint images in the background (man in mid-air kick on right-hand side); the helicopter in the top right hints at the war movi
