In what ways does my media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

 

1) Is a shot from the Music Video Drunk on Love, i saw that i had a similar shot of this in my video

   of my couple in more or less the same position, i would say my shot is a lot less intimate than the

   one which Rihanna used in her Music Video.

 

2) This shot again In the Music Video We found Love is an extreme close up, i had a similar shot in

    my music video but i would say that it is more of a close up of the face rather than an extreme

   close up of the eyes, my shot is more of a Point of View shot of my actress (Lulu) looking at my

   actor (Harry).  

 

3) Shot three shows how emotional Rihanna is and she is lying in a bath with messy hair and mascara

    running down her cheek, i found a shot in my video which is like this when my actress Lulu is

   crying in the bathroom looking at a mirror and you can see the mascara coming down her face,

   showing her emotion.

 

 

4) This screen shot is from the music video Only One (In the World) again by Rihanna, it shows her dancing infront of fireworks, my shot is quite similar as throughout the fire work sections in my video i have layred  two clips together and changed the capacity and colour.

 

5) For shot number 5 i have found a similar over the shoulder shot in the music video I knew you were trouble by Taylor Swift, i really like this shot as it was able to show you the back of the actress whilst showing the emotion on her face, which gave it a better angle and made the shot more interesting.

 

6) This shot which i was trying to capture is a slow motion shot which i recreated in my music video, when i was trying to find a music video which i could relate this to, i automatically thought of Fun - we are young as the whole film is shot more or less in slow motion, although my slow motion was a lot less calm than what goes on in Fun's music video. I like this shot as it slows down and shows you the anger and emotion which my actor is feeling and allows audiences to see this more clearly.

 

 

 

7) This shot is from the music video It will Rain by Bruno Mars This shot shows the couple reflected in the mirror. My shot only shows them in the  mirror unlike the shot which Bruno Mars has. But i like my shot as it is not as close up and shows more of the couple.

 

8) Shot number 8 shows my 'couple' at a 'caffe' talking, and flirting. This shot was quite similar to the shot in the music video I knew you were trouble by Taylor Swift, i have to say i like their shot a lot better as it is in a better location and better props are used.

 

9) These two shots show a burning fire, this shot is in the music video Old Pine by Ben Howard. , If i  had the chance i would re shoot it so it looked more like this, as i really like the glow and colour which they have captured.

 

When looking for similar shots, i found it quite easy to find similar shots, as a lot of music videos with a narrative story of 'love' or relationships had quite a lot of similar shots which i had done, i did not realise i had done this till i had to do this point as i must have done this subconsciously, but i am glad that i did as i feel that it matches the genre.
