Challenging, using and developing real media conventions on Prezi

The videos that inspied us

We had a lot of inspiration from other music videos. This allowed us to plan how we want to make ours different/similar and conventional to our sort of the electropop genre. Our main aim was to challenge the typical convention of woman being the main focus in most party scene music videos (being shown in a way to please the "male gaze") - instead we wanted the main focus of our music video to be on the artist and his male friends.

As explained in my previos blogs, below are the videos that influenced us and how they are similar to our ours. 

MIS-EN-SCENE

 

LIL TWIST - NEW MONEY FT. MISHON

We decided that we wanted our use of mis-en-scene to stand out. We decided to take a conventional approach and use red party cups in our video, like the ones we've seen in this and other videos.

I have made a little slideshow below to show the shots in our video that shows the red cups we used in our video too

USING QUOTATIONS

We decided to add in  quote (quoted by our artist) at the beginning of our video. This is conventional in music videos of all genres. We got this idea from the music video 'Unorthodox' by Wretch 32 ft. Example. 

And this is our quotation.....
