Hi Year 12

Summer work is below

First - from the sheet

Task One – An Essay Question

You are to spend one hour on this

Explain the methods you used to attract your audience in your AS coursework.

- Think about and describe IN DEPTH the choices you made with regards to Camera, Editing, Mise-En-Scene, Sound

- Why you made these choices

- What your audiences wanted and how you did/did not give it to them

- Audience reaction?

Ext – try to include some of the theory from your institutions and audience work.

Task Two – Research and Understanding

Research and make notes on AT LEAST THREE MUSIC ARTISTS from DIFFERENT GENRES including MUSIC VIDEOS. Look at:

- How the band/artist is being REPRESENTED (e.g. In Madonna’s later videos she is represented as young, fit and desirable whereas 50 Cent will go for dangerous, violent and independent)

- What are the reasons behind choices in SET, COSTUME AND PROPS?

- What are the album cover designs and their significance (the designs, choices of CEMS etc)

- The image the artist is trying to put across.

- Concert Sets

- Newspaper stories
