UPDATED: Representation in your music video and planning your shoot

1. REPRESENTATION: Write about Representation in your music video (at least about your intentions) focusing on your artist and on gender representations, or maybe representation of youth (Josh, Mathhew, Manan).
Don't forget to read again the article we looked at in class on representation of women in music videos [Friendly advice if you want to do well next week]
And here's the Prezi I mentioned on representations of masculinity - plenty of ideas here to get you writing.
Remember to mention the conventional representation of gender for your music genre then comment on how far you will be conforming to these conventions in your own video.

Prezi on Representation of Masculinity

2.PLANNING: Meanwhile, make sure that you act on all the things you've planned to do today.
Get on with your planning: costumes, props, locations, schedule, shot list, storyboard.

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR SHOOTING SCHEDULE IS IN PLACE ASAP - test shoots and some of your shoot should happen next week, over half-term and possibly extra shoot in the week after half-term. You will start uploading and editing in the first week back after half-term so you need some footage!

3. RESEARCH:
- Audience: Many of you are still missing some basic information about your target audience. This is an early entry from last year: Chloe's early audience research
Of course, all the research you are conducting should be there too, either confirming or reappraising your early findings.

- Similar products: you need to continue studying the conventions of similar artists / videos, using Goodwin AND Vernallis , and many screengrabs for ideas on how to shoot / style /edit your video.
ONE FULL GOODWIN ANALYSIS MUST BE BROUGHT TO THURSDAY'S LESSON FOR ASSESSMENT.

Use the pod when you can and email or see me if there's any problem/question.
