Do I wanna know?- Arctic Monkeys(2013) Music Video. Directed by Danny WILSON UK:Blinkink. Available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpOSxM0rNPM . [Last accessed: 11/9/14]

-I would pastiche the way that in this video they used animation to entertain the viewer/listener.

-The purpose of this video is to entertain the viewer while they are listening to the music, the video entertains by using animation to put emphasis on the lyrics. This is an animated music video, i can tell because there is no live action in the trailer it it all in black and white picture animations . This style music is part of the Indie/Rock genre, I know this because the artist 'Arctic Monkeys' are a big band in this genre and have dominated the genre for a long time now, but my main way of telling is from the lyrics, they are quite abstract but they are telling a story about love this is usually a key facter to indie music and the rock part is the instrumental in the song.

Waiting all night- Rudimental(2013) Music Video. Directed by Nez KHAMMAL UK: Unknown. Available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M97vR2V4vTs . [Last accessed: 11/9/14]

-I would pastiche the way that the music video was based around the life of a real person and what happened to them.

- The purpose of this music video is to both entertain and inform the viewer, they entertain the viewer by presenting an interesting story and they are informing about the dangers of stunts, this is very intriging because it is unusual that a music video would mix this two purposes. It takes the form of a storyline type music video because it describes a story of a person and their accident that changed their life, this too is unusual because their aren't very many music videos out there that use a persons narrative to advertise their song. This music is part of the pop genre.

#Thatsnotme- Skepta featuering JME(2014) Music Video. Directed by unknown. UK: Capitol. Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyONbqggasY [Last accessed: 11/9/14]

 - I would copy the idea of the overlaying of the DJ and his decks while Skepta's rapping in the background.

- The purpose of this music video is to entertain by showing how they make their music, where they came from and how they went from nothing to something, it is for this purpose that Skepta became so popular in the grime scene. This music video takes the form of an edited video which overlays the original video to create a unique and psychedelic look. The under-laying video shows the area and neighborhood that the artist is representing while the overlaying is of the artist and his DJ making the music on his decks. The decks are made out of bear boxes and old grocery storage boxes this shows them to not care about the latest equipment and only cares about the music, all of these aspects represent the artist to be a down to earth artist who loves what his does and doesn't do it for the money . This music is part of the grime/ hip-hop/ rap genre this is a very popular mix of genres because they mix together very well.

To Many Man- Boy Better Know(2009) Music Video. Directed by unknown. UK: BBK. Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKDixFhvCAU [last accessed:11/9/14]

- I would take the idea of the dark, grimy, down to the streets look if i was to make a music video.

-The purpose of this music video is to entertain by demonstrating the kind of life the artist lives on a day today basis, this aspect of the artists video attracts a large audience because its a glamorous life style and suggesting the cliche stereotype. This music videos form has quite a rough, raw look this is a common look for hip-hop/ rap videos. The genre for this music video is grime/rap, i can tell this from the music video because it has the stereotypical look for the rap genre, but also the music style is unique to the grime genre which is mainly more about the lyrical aspects instead of the music, where as the hip hop is genre is more of about both the music and the lyrics.

Game Over- Tinchy Stryder featuring Giggs, Professer Green, Tinie Tempah, Devlin, Example and Chipmunk(2010) Music Video Directed by unknown. UK: Take Over Entertainment. Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wpCf0FsZKQ [last accessed: 11/9/14]

- I would pastiche the way that they made the video look high quality by using lots of editing.

-The purpose of this music video is to entertain, this is done by quite a bland video to make the listener concentrate on the music, this shows their is a lot of meaning in the words that they are saying. The form for this is that its a music video. The genre for this is hip-hop/ rap genre, the main factor of a lot of this video is the stereotypical hand gestures that come with the genre of the rap, this is because most rappers are trying to express themselves through the hand gestures, it could also in some cases connote to the artist being aggressive or frustrated.

LO1 Music video analysis

Dye The Water Green- Bibio(2013) Music trailer. Directed by Stephen WILKINSON & Micheal ROBINSON. England. Warp Records. Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIml_CAF4-s [10/9/14]

-Their is no real story to the video. The purpose to this is to entertain the audience through the mystery of the video.  I would like to copy the idea for the flashing frames that the editor has placed in to keep the audience wondering.

Big Love- Jamie Lidell(unknown) Music Trailer. Directed by Micheal CARTER. America. Warp Records. Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLL1-UYsHA0 [10/9/14]

-The story in this video is the camera following the artist around a city in America singing, also has another story about a group of kids in the city and how they stick together. The purpose is to entertain the viewer with a lively yet insightful video of an American city. I would like to copy the idea of how to camera follows the artist around the city while he's singing, i like this because it shows the singer as though he is representing his home city.

Warp x Tate- Jeremy Deller(6/12/13) Music Trailer. Directed by Teddy FITZUGH. England. Warp Records. Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayc5ESaHQVQ [10/9/14]

-The narrative is to show to the history in the song which is named "The History of the World", it is also about showing the inside of the Tate Britain.  The purpose is to both educate and entertain the viewer with the interest in the video.

LO1 Film Trailer analysis

Four Lions-(7/510) Film Trailer. Directed by Chris MORRIS. England: Warp Films. Available at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew-SrlQ9tlI [10/9/14]

- The story is about a group of 3 British jihadists that try to become terrorists. The purpose is to entertain, i know this because its a really funny trailer and it entertained me. I would like to copy the comedy from Four Lions if i had to create a film trailer.

This Is England- (27/4/07) Film Trailer. Directed by Shane MEADOWS. England. Warp Films. Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0jkv2bRFgQ [10/9/14]

-The story is about a young boy that is bullied so he makes friends with skinheads, he then gets in with the skinheads in the war against Margret Thatcher. The purpose is to both educate and entertain the audience by creating an interesting story that is factually correct while keeping the audience in treated with an gritty storyline. If i had to make a film trailer I would take the idea of a gritty yet factual storyline.

Dead Man's Shoes- (1/10/04) Film Trailer. Directed by Shane MEADOWS. England. Warp Films.Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFi6FrAV9SE [10/9/14]

-Dead Mans Shoes is about a 2 brothers and when one gets killed by a group of men the other brother wants revenge so he go's on a killing spree of them. The purpose is to entertain the viewer by giving them a disturbing but gritty story, this is entertaining to viewers because it gives them a mysterious story. I would take the idea for using dramatic music in the film to make it more dramatic and gripping.

LO1 Key Terms and Definitions

Independent- This means a company stands by itself, it does its own work, it is self funded and isn't owned by another company. For example Warp Films because it does all of its films low budget and by themselves.

Conglomerate- Conglomerate means that a company has lots of small companies working for it, these company's are called subsidiary's. An example would be News Corp because News Corp owns smaller companies like 21st Century Fox, Fox News, Harper Collins Publishing and The Wall Street Journal

Synergy- This is where the subsidiaries of a company promote each other to produce a bigger audience and generate more profit. For example BBC television promotes BBC radio so that it transfers some of its audience to the other.

Subsidiary- These are the small companies that work for a big company in a conglomerate. For example 20th Century Fox is a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox.

Social realism- Social realism is a genre and a quality of a lot of Warp's Films.  It is where something looks realistic/vivid and creates lots of verisimilitude.

Profit- This is the amount of money made from something so the equation for this would  be    revenue - cost of sales = profit.

Platforms- This is the different types of media that are avaible for every day use. TV, Radio, Internet and Magazines

In this task I have described what the key terms are with insightful definitions.
