mojo analysis

L/O: to analyse the cover of a MOJO magazine, linking it to genre and audience.

shot type - 

Mojo magazine uses shot the by using Dave Grohl so that it looks like dave Grohl is taking music extremely serious and looks like it is not a joke. The main image is serious because they don't take rock music as a joke and they feel like it should be more serious than a joke. This could appeal to the target audience depending on whether they are a fan of the artist in the main image. 

colour palette - 

The colour palette used on mojo magazine are very dark. The dark colours show the genres so most people would associate darker colours with rock music. where as brighter colours would represent pop or something like that. The target audience could easily tell that it was a Rock magazine from the colours.

star vehicle -

The star vehicle is dave Ghrol. Dave Ghrol looks really serious, its as if he thinks that more people should take rock music as serious as him. The target audience would would know who this artist is depending on the type of artist and bands that they listen to.

masthead -

the masthead MOJO, is powerful influence which would appeal to the hard core music fans that the magazine is aimed at. the sans serif font looks modern and fresh due to its curved edge, which suggests the content is up to date and new, appealing to those fans who want to know about new artists as well as the artists they listen to.

Monday 3rd December 2018


Beyoncé - if i were a boy.

In the music video, the music video is a montage the montage video is monochrome. The monochrome gives more of an effect than what it would if it was in colour then in black and white. Black and white gives more of a dramatic effect. The dramatic effects can make the video seem more effective and can help to convey a negative message. In the music video it shows that there is not a very loyal relationship. The relationship show that the female is not being very loyal to the male whereas most people normally say that the males are normally the ones who are not loyal. The editing and the pace shows when there are dramatic things in them they are slower when the clips are slower the they are showing when there are thing wrong with the relationships. The way that they uses diegetic sound. The way that they use diegetic sound is by the talking at the start of the music video and all the added in sound effects in the video.

Bruno mars and mark Ronson - Uptown Funk.

In the music video the music video has a narrative and is preformed to the camera the music video is in colour although the colours are quite vintage and washed out. The vintage colours make it look like something that could be out of an old film or something that involves vintage colours. The editing of the video is good because of the way that they cover  all different places that would be to do with a theme like something to do with old fashioned places. The lighting in the music video are de-saturated so are colours that are quite vintage with a tone of yellow as a normal light. The music video doesn't use many diegetic sound.

Thursday 6th December 2018


Analysis


L/O: to analyse representation in music videos.



What sexuality is assumed if it covers love?
What ideal values does it celebrate or highlight?
How is race represented?
How is gender represented? how is age represented?
How is disability represented?
What stereotypes are used?
How are the artists represented?
How is the us or uk society represented?
What is shown as attractive in the music video? 
Are any messages being sent out?
in the music video, they do not represent disability in anyway in either of the videos. In the videos the thing thetis shown as attractive, in the bruno mars one the women are show as attractive from what they are wearing and they show everything other than their faces. In the BeyoncĂ© video, it is the women who are looking and flirting with the men. In the Bruno Mars video he is being represented as wealthy. In the BeyoncĂ© video she is represented as strong. Both of the music videos are represented in US society because on the Bruno Mars one there is a lot of black people the music video and hardly any white people like only white women. In the BeyoncĂ© video it show it being in the US from the because of the police and the way that it has been filmed and the background of the part with what the streets are like. The stereotypes that are being used for the Bruno mars video is that most men like the look of women on the outside rather than what they could be like on the inside. The stereotypes for the BeyoncĂ© one are reversed stereotypes because of the way that most of the time it is the men who cheat but on this one it shows that women are also capable of cheating as well.

Exam practise

L/O: To review representation of videos and practise exam style questions.

both of them use urban locations connote a sense of naturalism.
both apply examples of expensive artistic editing. 
message of how women are treated.
both make use of audience understandings and cultural capital through intertextuality in using the street in ways established by films, tv and other music videos. Bruno mars use ideas from the musicals and singing in the rain from the 1940 and 1950s as well as Michael Jackson work in 1980s and 1990s. Beyonce's referee to tv police shows with gritty, modern emphasis of hand held camera.

one uses no diegetic sound 
one uses diabetic sound 
one uses saturated colours and one is monochrome 
their is humour in one and the other more serious
Uptown funk uses low angle wide angle shots that emphasises movement toward the camera. 
Beyonce uses camerawork that connotes realism through handheld camera, long lens street shots: shallow and depth of focus.

both products represent the contemporary values as heterosexual love. 
represent masculinity as sexually predatory.


beyonce presents powerful women 
bruno mars presents women as objects.


Exam practise:

Explain one way in which music videos use media language to differ from each other.                          

Refer to one example of contrasting media language in two music videos you have studied to support your answer.                                                                                                                                               

Music videos use camera work to represent different artists such as Beyoncé and bruno Mars' music video if i were a boy and uptown funk.

Beyoncé if I were a boy uses camera work as something that can connote realism. If i were a boy uses different types of camera shots that can show realism. Realism can be shown through the camera work using hand held cameras and long lens street shots. Realism can be shown through hand held cameras because of the way that it can refer to Tv and police programs. police programs use hand held cameras to show realism. The long street shots show that they are using realism because of the way that they use shots that could happen on the streets everyday rather than making it fake and shows nothing that you will see. This shows that the camera work that they are using shows that it presents realism because of the way that the hand held cameras represent police life and stuff the can happen daily.
Bruno mars uses camera work to show performance and emphasis performance to the camera. Uptown funk uses low and wide angle shots to show performance and wide angle shots. The low angle shots can show that men have more power than women. The low angle shots connote performance to the camera because of the way that Bruno Mars is looking towards the camera. 
Both of the music videos show different meanings in there camera work. They use different camera shots so that they can make it either more serious or humorous. The main difference of the camera shots were the way that one showed something like realism and the other used on to show performance to the camera.

  • Ensuring the optimal use of the electro magnetic spectrum.
  • Ensuring that a wide range of electronic communications services - including high speed data services- is available throughout the united kingdom. 
  • Ensuring a wide range of TV and radio services of high quality and wide appeal.
  • maintaining plurality in the provision of broadcasting. 
  • Applying adequate protection for audiences against offensive or harmful material.
  • Applying adequate protection for audiences against unfairness or the infringement of privacy.
What is Plurality?

We have defined plurality as a) ensuring there is a diversity of viewpoints available and consumed across and within media enterprises and b) preventing any one media owner or voice having too much influence over public opinion and the political agenda.

Protection of under 18s



  • material that might seriously impair the physical, mental or moral development of people under eighteen must not broadcast.
  • In the provision of services, broadcasters must take all reasonable steps to protect people under 18.
  • Children must also be protected in the form of appropriate scheduling ensuring that they are not privy to material that is unsuitable for them. 

my show would be about music. the target audience is 13-18. The show would be about music and live performances through artists that people are interested in.

About Live Lounge 

Artist are filmed in an intimate radio studios, acoustically, often with little production rehearsal. They normally preform one or two of the own songs and than a unique cover form an A list radio 1 audience. 


What are the audience appeals of the live lounge?


The live lounge appeals to the audience because they like to hear something different something that is live rather than listening to it like it was made and hear it in a different way like how do the artists sound like as if they are live rather than using auto tune like they do when the produce a song. Lots of different ways to find live lounge. Loads of different artists and genres. The cover would appeal to the audience because they might like the song and no one would have heard it before by the artists. 


Why is it different to other radio shows?


BBC radio 1's live lounge is different to other radio stations because it has more entertainment and gives you more than just a radio station. The other radio station don't normally have people live and not really anyone preforming unlike radio 1's live lounge.

    DIRT: Try to avoid just describing - link the elements to the likes/dislikes of the TA.
