EVALUATION Q1

IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?

The music video to Adele - Someone Like You had a huge influence in MY music video. I used some visual aspects from her music video that I thought would suit my song and genre and imbedded them into my own music video. What struck me most was the black and white effect running throughout the whole music video. I thought it was effective as it stripped down all distractions of the video and emphasised the song by putting all focus on the song she is singing and not so much about the artist or the music video. Adele's song is also stripped down to just Adele and what she's feeling. Its raw emotion. Our song Who You Are is about Deavian talking to young girls telling them to sty true to who they are from the point of view of a person who has been through it herself.

In the images above i am showing another way Adele's music video to Someone Like You influenced my music video. The bridge scene. Adele's whole music video is about her walking along this sidewalk with the bridge in the background, i feel like it symbolizes her walking away from her problems as metaphorically on the other side of the bridge, her problems lay. In our music video, the first few scenes is our artist watching over this troubled girl then towards the end of the song we bring in the bridge scene where she see's the troubled girl, this, like Adele, symbolizes the girl being on the other side of that bridge and leaving her troubles behind. 

Andrew Goodwin's theory states that all pop music videos follow a strict verse, chorus structure. Our music video follows that structure as every time the chorus comes in there is a change of scene.
