1) Post your group's genre study on your blog.
2) Write a post that explores the conventions of music videos, based on our class discussions.
- Media language
- Representation
- Narrative & themes
- Audiences
- Institutions
As well as identifying the conventions, you should also demonstrate these conventions by including stills, videos and gifs (gifs are particularly useful!) as examples.
This should be a good comprehensive post- this is A2 now, so spend time on this, gather good evidence to use as examples, and make sure you pay attention to the presentation on your blog.
(On Wednesday we're moving on, so this is homework to complete for our next lesson!)
