Feedback

You still need to complete empty posts here and the whole would benefit from a bit of housekeeping - moving posts to create logical sections and deleting any redundant ones.... See me if you need to know how to reorder posts.

Some pointers:

  • the early sections analysing music videos in general still need major refocusing - rather than looking at rep and ideologies, you need to analyse them to see how Goodwin's theory applies and state at the end what you can learn from this for your video... this means changing the title and quite a major rewrite for each of these - your current posts are too narrowly focused and not tied into your own product.
  • Audience - you need to put the analysis post with the questionnaire post and define your target audience.
  • Indie pop section - Taylor's initial analysis of the genre is a good start but you could list more of the key features - costume, instrumentation, content of songs, settings, names of artists/ bands, colour etc... Is it worth looking at the elements that are indie and the elements that are pop and how they fuse? Analysis of videos also needs refocusing to reflect what features a re common in indie pop videos - please get rid of / minimise the focus on rep and ideology - it's not 100% relevant. You also need at the end to focus on what you can learn from this video and use in your own...
  • Institution  -Sam - post on Marina and 679 - why not use this as your Institution post - would this label also suit your artists - why? Consider the role of the label in creating music videos and why they want a video? Think about where you would place your video for maximum effect....
  • Sam - Telephone analysis - still needs to say what it is looking at and how this helps shape your own project.
  • Album Cover work - Kirsten - need to list the main conventions of front covers, back covers and inside covers - what do you need to include? Do the same for the post on album adverts too!
You have a good start on your planning with a strong storyboard, so please try and get all the blog posts sorted out over this week, so you cna devote all your time to filming and editing asap!
