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

In my media product, i had a scene of running. This was influenced by the 'running scene' from Rocky. This shot had a great impact as it was a continual sequence going throughout the video, showing the runners reaching the top.

I also was inspired by the official 'Its My Time' video. Throughout the video there is cut away shots of different activities which are reaching the top. There is a scene of judges promoting a dancer and the boxer, these to shots relate back to my music video as I have judges promoting a singer and instead of a boxer I have a gymnist. The official video also has a crowd of people which I have in my music video aswell.

Another influence is from the music video 'Who am I- Nick Jonas.' This gave me the idea of the flipping cards. I used this technique in the video, this made it more attractive as it is something different and it showed different people with different ambitions. It lets the audience interact more and keeps them fascinated due to the flipping cardboards.

2. How effective is the combination of your main product (video) and ancillary texts (digipak and advertisement)?

My digipak links with the video as it has the same colour scheme. It has blue throughout the whole digipak and the atmosphere is night-time. The blue colour coordinates with the costume the singer is wearing. Also, stars and circle are seen during the video and the digipak has the same style.

Making Shirts

This lesson we made our props, the "It's My Time" T-Shirt. However, we did not use the t-shirt in the music video, as the printing on the t-shirt didn't come out as neat and clean as we had hoped.

Location : Canary Wharf & Photos from filming sessions (Production)

Sttill images from filming in Canary Wharf

When we got to our location we found that it was too light to film what we intended. With the bright lights reflecting on to the water which you will see below in this blog. In these photographs we were filmimg in the shopping mall. Which we had permission for. This worked well with our ideas because the escalators symbolising that the artist is going up not just literally but in life, even though we filmed going down aswel.

Below you can see  a series of clocks. These were very interesting because there was 6 different clocks that have one number on each side of it. These will work well in our video because it has a direct link to the lyrics.        

 

 In these pics we we're filming at the fountain in canary wharf this was a beautiful scener because the water was lit and you could see canary wharf backgroud.

 

Below we was filming a statues and it look as if i was talking to them. This looked fantastic when i was doing the lryics.

 

The these photographs we discovered a new feature in canary wharf which is a giant tv that has adverts going across. We thought this was a good idea because it had one of our idea on it which was to have people flipping a card with words saying it's my time.

 

In this shoot we was filming on a a really wide wall this was a good shot because again we had canary wharf arisen.
