Cover Lesson 4/7/2016

You need to complete genre research for your music videos.

You can either mind map ideas - there are a number of online programmes for this, or you could do it by hand and photograph/upload to your blog. Alternatively, create a mood board of images for each genre accompanied by a write up of common themes and genre codes and conventions. You could take single images and analyse the representation in them with a focus on genre conventions. Or you could find a completely different way to explore it. Work must be uploaded to your blog ready for next lesson. You will also need to justify which genre you want to work in and why.

You should look at the record industry. This can be done in exactly the same way as you researched magazine institutions or prepared film industries for your exam. you should have an understanding of both major and independent record labels. Again, you need to look closely at who you would want your artist to be signed with and explain why.

Finally compile a timeline of the music video with key dates highlighted, for example the first music video, advent of MTV etc...

For your home learning you should be looking for an unsigned artist to use.
