YR 10 Music Sk8er boi

 Avril Lavigne Sk8R Boi is our second music video. We study:

  • how the genre of her music comes across in the music video's media language 
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avril_Lavigne#Musical_style_and_songwriting
  • this means the style of editing, the pace, the way she uses the camera to engage her audience, the lighting and colours
  • representation in the video - of LA, of Lavigne, of her gang, in particular, the mise-en-scène, Themes in her music include messages of self-empowerment from a female or an adolescent view.

POLICE PROCEDURAL GENRE CONVENTIONS

 Today we discussed police procedural genre conventions and compared them to Endeavour with cuffs.

We identified several miss-en-scene codes such as clothing codes, locations, uniforms, weapons and ranks. there was more evidence of violent crime whereas in cuffs was more family friendly

We noticed differences such as Cuffs is set in the 2010s and Endeavour was set along time ago so there are different locations and representations of different time eras.


 We then experimented with our own photos, in this photo we were trying to achieve a sense of mystery.
