Record Label Logo

Our record label logo for our record company: Preshow records. Derived from the combination of our names Priya + Shona = Prisho, which turned into Preshow. We decided to keep our logo black and white as it will stand out on any colour put behind it.

6. Collage

This collage shows the use of instruments and simple settings such as road sides and fields as this is a common convention of indie rock/pop videos. There are also images showing instruments as this is another convention of this genre. I've also used animated pictures as animation is a feature that U would like to include in my music video.

Preliminary Task! (Task 3)

Shot by Shot Storyboard- Drop It Like It's Hot

When the pimp's in the crib, ma
(Drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot)When the pigs try to get at you
(Park it like it's hot, park it like it's hot, park it like it's hot)
And if a nigga get a attitude
(Pop it like it's hot, pop it like it's hot, pop it like it's hot)
I got the Rolly on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed cause I got it going on

I'm a nice dude, with some nice dreams
See these ice cubes? See these Ice Creams?
Eligible bachelor, million dollar boat
That's whiter than what's spilling down your throat

Preliminary Task; Initial Planning

In today's lesson, we discussed and decided on the music video that we were planning to impersonate for our preliminary task. 

A few of the options we discussed included #Selfie by The Chainsmokers and Pompeii by Bastille. We decided against these songs as the #Selfie video included a lot of people and a huge amount of shots which would be difficult to replicate in the short amount of time we have to produce a preliminary task.

 In the case of Pompeii by bastille, we decided against it as there was not a large amount of lip syncing in the video and therefore replicating this would defeat the purpose of the preliminary task.
 

Our final decision was to use the song Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams. We made this decision as the video would be simple to recreate but also exhibits numerous different shots and filming techniques. 

Representation

Definition
Students of media are taught that media texts do not present a neutral, transparent view of reality, but offer instead a mediated re-representation of it. The processes by which audience members come to understand media texts in terms of how they seem to relate to people, ideas, event, themes and places. This is a very complex idea, as the reader of the media text will play an active role in constructing these meanings him/herself. At its most simple, it is how media texts are understandable.
