Roberto began enjoying music at age 8 through nursery rhymes and developed an appreciation for how music makes him feel. He enjoys listening to Capital radio and likes how certain songs like "Grenade" by Bruno Mars can change his mood. Usher inspired Roberto the most for his calm demeanor and success due to his music rather than controversies. Roberto prefers music videos that accompany songs to understand their narratives, such as Adele's "Rolling in the Deep". If choosing a song for a video, he would depict the narrative of Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain".
Sarah began enjoying music in primary school through assemblies and her parents' songs. She was inspired by Nicki MinaCopy

Faye researched digipaks from artists Dillon, Lorde, and Birdy to inform the design of a digipak for her own artist, Lila Eden. She found that all three artists used a simple, minimalist design that put the focus on the artist. Dillon's digipak featured a close-up portrait of her with makeup, Lorde's had bold white text on a plain black background, and Birdy's used faded images on a brown background. This simple, uncluttered style emphasizes the artist's identity and reflects the alternative genres they represent. It also promotes empowerment by avoiding overt sexuality.Beach filming – 4th session

Costumes being considered include a "puffy, fairy like dress" for Claudia to contrast with the genre. Facial expressions and body language will need to show emotion during singing as well as blank expressions to match the upbeat music with depressing lyrics. Natural lighting was used during an early morning shoot to match the bright song through shadows and sunlight.Textual Analysis using Goodwin's Theory

Drake's music video for "Hold On We're Going Home" tells a narrative story of Drake's character whose fiancée is kidnapped by a rival gang. The 7-minute video, set in 1985 Miami, follows Drake and his crew as they work to rescue the fiancée. Though the lyrics and visuals do not strongly connect and the mellow song contrasts with the depicted violence, the overall storyline of rescuing a kidnapped lover relates to the song's theme. The video presented a new image for Drake by focusing on the narrative plot rather than his performance, which proved popular and successful.Textual analysis using goodwin's theory

The opening sequence of the film "Femme Fatale" conforms to some conventions of the spy genre but also diverges in some ways. It establishes the setting of London and introduces the three main characters as Russian spies on a secret mission. Elements like establishing shots of landmarks and references to past spy films help situate it in the genre. However, it lacks violence, action, or sex appeal typically found in spy film openings and may not engage younger audiences as a result. Unconventional editing choices like slow motion credits were also non-confirming to the genre.Media evaluation 1

These props are key to creating the humor in the opening scene by allowing the characters to pretend they are having sex when really the girl is just plucking the boy's eyebrows. The bed sets the scene and implies sexual activity could occur there, while clothes on the floor and a pillow being thrown help establish the characters' relationship and frustration. Props like lipstick and lube will be used to write credits in a way that fits with the target teenage audience. Props are important because without them, many of the scenes cannot be created or made interesting, especially the opening scene which relies heavily on props to set the scene and relate to the teenage target audience.Film research institutions

- 2. Childhood SongThe SPICE GIRLS are a massive part of my childhood. From music to fashion, they were the 5 girls I inspired to be (especially baby spice!) I remember dressing up and doing shows with my cousins – which we still have on tape! And witho ut doubt I knew every lyric to every song of their first album ‘Spice’. I can remember watching their film every weekend on tape, dressing in pink and putting my hair in to bunchies just to look like the now very glamorous and sophisticated Emma Bunton. I liked the group and the music because it was mostly upbeat which was fun to dance and sing to, especially as a young child. Even the slow songs I would (and still) sing along to. They
- 3. During my early teenage year, N-dubz had to be my favourite and most listened to music. I liked it because I was changing and it was the thing to be listening to. It was getting away from corny disco songs and more into rap and RnB. Even the things they would dress in rubbed off on the younger teen generation. The most famous of all ‘dappy hat’ which was extremely ‘cool’ if you had one. As well as the tracksuits and chains. My favourite song from the collection had to be ‘ouch’ and featured the famous line ‘My name’s Shaniqua and what?’ As the band grew and each member got older, the style statred to change slightly. And strangley enough, everyone still loved them! Instead of mainly rap they included more singing which was normally only performed by the female member ‘Tulisa’. Then my favourite song was ‘Girls’.
- 4. Present‘Blurred Lines’ by Robin Thicke is my favourite song (currently). It is newly released and at the moment its hard to get enough of it. I love how up beat it is and whenever it is played, whether on my iPod or on the radio, I can’t help but want to start dancing. And that’s what I love about it. It’s such a feel good song and can lift anybody’s mood. I’d never heard of Robin Thicke before this song was release and now I own his album because all of his songs are so easy to listen to and make you feel good. I think that this song will slowly make it’s way out of the hits. But it will still be a favourite and get everybody up when it comes on.
