NEA Research Part 2- Genre Research- Genre Research

Task 1:

In this post I am going to summarise and condense research into the genre of my chosen brief. The main reason for doing this is to extensiate and analyse codes and conventions of a range of media texts in order to help me produce an effective media product of my own.

Task 2:

TASK 3: CONCLUSION
From my research, it is clear that music videos vary such as some being very natural and more natural scenes where as some consists of a lot of acting. The research helped me with my idea as it enabled me to gather a variety of ideas that i can include in my own music video. For example using a very natural dance clip like Ed Sheeran, as well as overlaying clips which consist of more acting such as Ariana and Little Mix. My idea has developed after conducting the research as it has enabled me to develop my ideas further and gain an understanding of what I need to include in my music video in order to make it successful.

Furthermore, after reading through the briefs, I discovered that the music video was best suited for me.
