1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
2. Introduction
We have experience from looking at real media products and this is
evident from the textual analysis we completed in the first phase
of our planning. This was in order to identify and gain inspiration
of real codes and conventions from the genre we were interested in
for creating a music video. We explored the rock genre and from the
four textual analysis we completed we could clearly see the codes
and conventions of real produced rock videos. We took inspiration
from these and noted what we liked and to see if we could
incorporate similar attitudes, shots and lighting techniques into
ours following the codes and conventions we had discovered. There
are also codes and conventions we found but challenged them by
creating them differently with a slightly different
meaning.

We have also gained experience from the synoptic analysis we
have looked at and from following the rock genre we worked out what
we needed to create and how we could challenge ideas to incorporate
our own uniqueness into the creation. We also noticed that theme is
important in the rock genre and we have followed our own theme in
our ancillary texts and in our production, and this is the colour
red and its representation of love.
