The document summarizes the results of a focus group analysis conducted to help inform decisions for a soft rock music video. Question One found that indie/alt rock was the most popular genre. Question Two found that Elton John and James Blunt were the most well-known soft rock artists. Question Five determined that "When I Find Love Again" was the most liked James Blunt song. Based on the focus group feedback, the music video will feature the song "When I Find Love Again", have elements of a love story narrative, and employ an amplification approach where shots imply rather than directly illustrate the song lyrics.Evaluation q2

The document discusses how a student's music video project for the song "Bust Your Windows" by Jazmine Sullivan both follows and challenges conventions of real R&B music videos. It follows conventions through its locations, focus on the singer's image with close-up shots, and narrative structure. However, it also challenges conventions by having the singer wear casual clothes instead of being half-naked, and using a prop of burning a heart to portray emotion rather than just body language. The accompanying CD booklet also follows real media conventions to make the overall project seem authentic.Assignment 1 - Researching A Range Of Music Videos

The Kpop band BTS gained widespread recognition in America in 2017 when they won the Top Social Artist award at the Billboard Music Awards, becoming the first group to do so. Their success at the awards show led to increased popularity in the US and other Western countries. This launched them into worldwide stardom. They made their debut on American talk shows starting with The Ellen Show, where they performed and discussed their music appealing to both Korean and non-Korean speakers due to its universal message. BTS subsequently appeared on The Late Late Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing and gaining more exposure to American audiences.Media new

Goodwin identifies 4 key elements of music videos: thought through beat, link between song and visuals, narrative and performance, and star image. He implies videos use genre characteristics, like rap videos featuring artists talking about money. Holdstein believes videos are divided into political themes and those rivaling traditional musical themes. Carlson's theory is that binary opposition drives videos forward, and they fall into conceptual or performance categories. He describes performers as commercial exhibitionists or televised bards, and sometimes electronic shamans who anchor visuals without appearing.The Used Presentation

The Used formed in 2001 in Utah when two band members decided to start a group. They held unsuccessful auditions before finding their singer, Bert McCracken. The band struggled with poverty, homelessness, and drug use early in their career. They chose their name "The Used" because friends felt "used" when band members focused more on the group than friends. The Used released their first album and were signed to Reprise/Warner Bros. Records, allowing them to gain more recognition. The Used has since released four studio albums across different rock genres.Media Music Video Conventions

The document discusses the target audience for a post-apocalyptic film opening. The audience would be males ages 18-44 based on research of similar films rated 15+ that attracted mostly males under 18 but were watched by males 18-29. The film opening would appeal to this audience through its serious narrative, slow pace, and two male protagonists for viewers to relate to. A British independent film company is producing it, so it would likely be shown in independent cinemas to a British audience.Research on genres

This document summarizes how a media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real music videos. It discusses three typical conventions used: dancing in music videos, bright colors to attract audiences, and themes of love. It also discusses developing conventions by starting with five band members but cutting to four, and giving each member an individual style rather than matching outfits. Forms are challenged by setting a video in an area associated with rap/hip-hop and by including a theme of obsessive fans, which is atypical for boy band videos.Mv lecture

This document discusses different ways an image of a biker from the book "The Bikeriders" by Danny Lyon could be used in various contexts. It could be used as a documentary image capturing everyday life in 1968. It could also work in modern advertising by making the product being advertised more obvious. Cropping it to a square format would allow it to work as an album cover when the album title, artist and producer are added. With some modifications, it could also work as a film still or in a television advertisement by giving it an everyday feel to relate to viewers.

This document analyzes the music video for the song "Budapest" by George Ezra. It summarizes that the video has characteristics of a soft rock music video, including tight camera shots, close-ups, and a slow pace. While the lyrics and visuals are not directly linked, there are implied connections, such as a shot of a man holding a vase representing the lyric "my many artefacts." The pace of the music and visuals are also connected, with more movement when the music is high-key. The video includes close-ups of the artist to advertise him and his album. Overall, the document concludes that the video amplifies rather than directly illustrates the lyrics through the types of scenes usedMore Related Content

This document analyzes the shot composition in the music video for "Hold Back the River" by James Bay. It finds that there are 115 total shots used, including close-ups, medium shots, and long shots with varying lighting. Close-ups of other band members are used to show they are part of the song, not the band. A close-up of James Bay at the beginning with low-key lighting sets a sad tone. Medium shots of James Bay with high-key lighting suggest happier times in a past relationship discussed in the song. The camera panning around James Bay in medium shots implies the relationship felt routine.Album cover

Adapting to audienceAlexInkster
Ìý
Adapting one's presentation based on the audience is important to ensure effective communication. The speaker should consider the age of the audience and use less complicated language for teenagers than adults. The presentation style and visuals should also be tailored according to the audience's age to help ensure the content can be properly received and understood. The application used may need to change depending on the audience.Language
LanguageAlexInkster
Ìý
Language can be interpreted positively or negatively depending on tone. Saying "no" could be heard as sarcastic, aggressive, or positive depending on how it is said. This impacts interpersonal communication like interviews, as tone and body language can give off negative or overconfident impressions. Using positive language helps set a good mood in conversations and presentations without being boring.Proofreading

Having another person also proofread provides a fresh perspective to catch issues the author may have overlooked due to familiarity. Proofreading is important to ensure the written work can be easily understood by readers.SPAG

SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) is important for clear written communication. Poor SPAG can make written text difficult to understand and cause the intended message to get lost. Correct grammar ensures what is written makes sense, while proper spelling ensures the intended words are used. Good punctuation, such as periods and commas, helps keep text smooth and easy to read by breaking up long sentences. Overall, paying attention to SPAG is essential for presenting information in a clear manner that audiences can easily understand.Techniques and cues
Techniques and cuesAlexInkster
Ìý
Body language and intonation provide cues about mood and truthfulness. Body language includes physical stance, eye contact, arm positioning, and proximity that can indicate comfort level, nervousness, or distraction. Intonation refers to vocal tone and emphasis on certain words which can change the meaning of what is said and influence perceptions. These subtle cues are important to manage effectively in conversations to ensure a positive image and successfully convey your message.Question four
Question fourAlexInkster

Our film was rated 18 based on audience research showing most people preferred elements typically found in 18-rated films, such as violence. While including some violence, our film did not include sex scenes. We aimed our film at teens and adults aged 18-30, particularly males, based on the themes and genres of similar films and shows that appeal to this demographic, such as the TV show Gotham. The age rating of 18 shaped our target audience and the types of conventions we included, which we determined would fit best within an 18-rating based on ratings guidelines and audience feedback.Question five
Question fiveAlexInkster
Ìý
The document discusses how the filmmakers attracted and addressed their intended audience of adults and teens for an opening film rated 18. They created a questionnaire to gather feedback from the target audience on what they wanted to see. This feedback was then used to shape the story in a way that would appeal to the audience. Specific elements like violent scenes, mystery, and tension-building shots were used to attract teens and mature audiences. The costume choices, like a hoodie for one character, were also meant to appeal to teenagers. By focusing on a specific target audience, the filmmakers could better craft the plot and tone to appeal to that group and increase the chances of financial success.Question one
Question oneAlexInkster
Ìý
The filmmakers intended to create a horror noir film but found adding horror elements too difficult. They changed the genre to a noir/thriller hybrid, using conventions from researched noir films for the noir aspects and thriller films like Gotham since they did not research thrillers. Shots from analyzed films like birds-eye views from Casino Royale and those from Mad Men were wanted but could not be included.Question four and five
Question four and fiveAlexInkster
Ìý
The document discusses targeting a specific audience for a film rated R between ages 17 to 35. Research was conducted on existing R-rated films and audience feedback to determine the appropriate rating and elements to include. Violence and mystery were chosen as they appeal to males and a wider audience. Hoodies were included to appeal to teenagers. The film addresses this audience through a violent plot and enigma to intrigue viewers and make them question what will happen. Targeting a specific demographic makes it easier to appeal to and attract that group rather than trying to appeal to everyone.Recently uploaded (20)

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.EDL 290F Week 3 - Mountaintop Views (2025).pdf

The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APM’s Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APM’s PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMO’s within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.
