Key terms for introduction and reflection: conventions, forms, repertoire of elements, narrative, performance, star image, MES, amplified, disjunctive, illustrative
We’re going to complete a close analysis of a music video and really deconstruct and decode it for meaning and understand how and why it is constructed as it is.
If you don’t like it choose another, but check with your teacher first, there are some old favourites below…
You should type up that analysis and embed it into a post called “Close Analysis of Music Video.” Use the ones below or from somewhere else but the ones below are full of points to analyse/deconstruct.
Here is a blank version of the form you can use. MAKE A COPY.
This work is important as it shows that you are able to deconstruct the narrative, performance, star image and generic & technical conventions of a music video. This will help inform your own production ideas.
BLOG ADVICE: Embed the video – snip tool the documents, attach the pdf of the document to the snip tool and then introduce and reflect…use the key terms from the top of this post and then focus forward…how might this impact on your work?
