Coursework: Preliminary exercise 2024

 

Coursework: Preliminary exercise 2024


Q1) The song I will be using is the famous song "Let It Happen" by Tame Impala.

Q2)Music video 1:  On “Breathe Deeper,” Kevin considers stressful and negative situations, how deep breathing can help with staying calm and making it through the situation. It is very typical of the indie genre and is a very calming music video  

Tame impala made this music video using animations specifically a CGI dragonfly that flies across the scene as we cut to many animated shot of the dragonfly moving across terrain. Tracking shots of the dragonfly moving across the terrain. The editing adds this sort of affect to the video making it seem nauseous and confusing to decipher.

Music video 2: Higher Power" is a song by British rock band Cold play. In the music video we can see the insane use of VFX and powerful editing as we can see the main actor in casual clothing, no makeup and no props. However we see the setting as we get a sideways shot following of him moving across this new planet. The VFX here is astounding as we see all kinds of sci fi robots and settings. This is what the song and the music video wants to convey to the audience and they do a fantastic job of it. I see some reverse editing where the character moves back and forth as they lip sync through the sci fi city.

Music video 3: The music video for "Life Goes On" incredibly directed by the artist themselves at a time where Covid-19 didn't allow too many human interactions .He uses a variety of short close ups of his eye as it transitions into a infinite amount of clones as the camera moves back from the main focus. He uses a green screen for the background which makes it easier for him to clone himself multiple times. Outfit is the same. No makeup used. Lighting was at some times low key but most of the time high key to highlight his lip syncing and perfoming.

Q3) I plan on shooting the music video over Friday and the weekend should give me enough time to edit and shoot the scenes for the full music video

TV: Capital case study 1 AND 2

 Q1: It's realism and cultural diversity that spans each episode it's very true to London life as well as the life of the working class and upper class the rich and poor and their beliefs and struggles that seem tame compared to each other Q2: The heavy reference to immigration. As the years pass in Britain immigration has heavily increased due to wars and asylum seekers many people blame them for the country's heavy increase in house prices "Capital" uses that to show how hostile and dangerous certain places can be due to these apparent issues and how anti-immigration regardless of who it is the main "perpetrator" Q3: At the beginning of the episode we see an extreme long shot of the city in the dark.

TV: Introduction to TV Drama

  Q1:A serial is  a television show which has a continuous plot that unfolds in sequential episode-by-episode fashion .  Q2: ABC Avengers, Danger Man, The Sweeny, and The Minder are all examples of TV drama from the factsheet. I feel like media has evolved with its audience and their beliefs mostly starting to try and show lesser minorities or representation of certain communities. Q3:  Settings  influence the plot tremendously, are part of it, create an atmosphere, and complete the picture . Q4:  Most TV dramas have a large ensemble cast – a range of characters. These characters are often stereotypical – communicating a lot to the audience quickly. Often recognizable and relatable –  giving audiences the pleasure of identification and an ongoing 'relationship' : we keep watching to find out what happens to them. Q5: The narrative structure in television programmes and movies does not  always follow one storyline. This happens most often in Soap o...
