Dance music research

-
    what makes all these videos from a dance genre?
    -repeated beat
    -repeated lyrics
    -same tempo 

    Explore how the artists are using representation to appeal to their target audience in these three videos by picking out key frames from the video to analyse.
    -set on the streets
    -diversity of characters(race, gender, etc..)
    -something non naturalistic happens
    -all dancing at some point in the video
    -hip hop dancing 
    -sunny day
    -bright colours
    -colours match skin tone

    What other music videos could you find from the same genre? Outline two and explain why you think they are termed dance.

    Fleur East - Sax - it has repeated beat, repeated lyrics and in the music video it uses bright colours, they do 'hip hop' dancing. 


    Kiesza - Hideaway- this song also has repeated beat, repeated lyrics and in the music video this is on the streets, its a sunny day and there is diversity used with the people that are involved in the video.

    Statement of intent

    How do you intend to use the four areas of the media theoretical framework to communicate meaning and meet the requirements of your chosen brief? (approx. 400 words) The artist that I am creating is going to be a duo, their name is going to represent the type of music they’re going to produce and it’s going to stand out. The logo for the artist is going to look clean and modern, as this then represents the artist and also the type of music they listen too.

    An introduction to minecraft

    1. What are the uses and gratifications of Minecraft? Give specific examples of how the game entertains, help audiences identify with others and educates.

    Minecraft audiences

    -
    Who is the target audience here? The target audience is the younger generation of people, pre-teen to teens. How can you tell? You can tell by the way the game is set out and how simple it is. The dialogue is also very simple and the way that they have made their characters have a sense of humour and the types of jokes made.  How does this differ from other versions of Minecraft? The players can get involved in something that has already been created/made for them. Make a list of the different ways that people can play (and interact with) Minecraft. For each of these, suggest who the audiences might be with reasons to support Console, phone, tablet etc
