MUSIC VIDEO LANGUAGE

PREP Watch our two music videos again and find ONE example of the difference between the MEDIA LANGUAGE of the two videos:

• mise-en-scene
• camerawork
• editing
• narrative

Your media text book has useful reminders about our two music videos

The representations of the police in Cuffs are positive ones: 

• the police have more screen time than the villains
• the police are constructed as hard-working professionals who tackle a wide variety of challenges, often difficult, dangerous and upsetting
• the police are seen not only in their professional capacity but also as rounded human beings with their own private lives as parents (Ryan), as partners (DC Felix, DC Jo), as sons (PC Ryan Vickers)
• they are depicted as a close-knit team who socialise and laugh together
• humour humanizes their representation (Lino: 'Exactly. Wednesday, double lunch...practically vegan.")
• they show empathy (Jake with Nathan; Felix with the distraught mother)
• they show courage (Jo is the first in to tackle the racist thug Benton despite being outnumbered); the two PCCs face masked men who threaten them at the heist)
• they behave with integrity and determination (Jo argues with the solicitor who prevents her questioning the witness to the teenager's attack)

In this extract, there are many examples of interesting media language - camerawork

• framing of thugs at the end of the aisle in the shop to present the trapped teenager
• high angle shot to show the result of his stabbing

media language - editing

• greyscale denoting security camera footage when the father abducts his daughter
• match cut  2001 A Space Odyssey . Father / child in two adjacent scenes
  
• hard cut / straight cut 

media language - sound

• non-diegetic sound  to build tension in the shop leading up to the attack 

media language -mise-en-scene 

• clothing Benton and his gang wear clothes and have hairstyles that denote their social group; the young Asian victim is constructed as a nice 'boy next door'

PREP  The two other key concepts in the course are Institution and Audience
Your prep is to read the two pages in your text book that I showed you, one about Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) and BBC1, then the yellow boxed page outlining how Cuffs meets audience needs (the uses and gratifications framework).

You are also thinking about what music video you plan to make, plus what clothes / props you might need for it to look convincing. 

Yr 11 NEWS WEBSITE

What other articles will you have on your news website that would interest your target audience of 10 - 13 year olds? (Not your main splash)

Features: issues relating to 

• food, Vegan
• sleep, 

News: news about child-centred events perhaps on 

• schools, exams, school uniform,
• child health like vaccines, 
• technology whether pupils can bring in phones to school (big debate at the moment with conflicting views)

Yr 10: CUFFS

Open this link here and read the list of TV crime programme genre conventions. Your prep is to read through the blogpost and pay particular attention to the list of 30 genre conventions. 

Then make a list on your blog of any terms that you have not met before or would like me to explain. That's all!
