MUSIC VIDEO-THEORIES

Goodwins theory: 

 Analyses conventions of music videos suggesting that genre conventions, lyrics and visuals, music, close ups, motifs and intertextual references are all key elements of music videos.

Richard dyers theory:

Stars are constructed images represented across media texts. However many stars are relatable to audiences , making videos they appear in more relatable.

The Man:

Richard Dyer:

The man in the video includes many stereotypical scenarios. One being a man on the train , man spreading and smoking, making women feel uncomfortable. This therefore makes the video relatable for many viewers who are likely to have experienced this.

Goodwin: 

There are many intertextual references used throughout the video. One being the poster of a scooter crossed out. This is a direct reference to Scooter Braun who wouldn't let Taylor swift own her masters.

THE BIG ISSUE COVER

I chose to have chris Martin as the main focus of my cover as he has a shared ideology with the big issue in that he openly supports various charities.

It is also conventional for the covers to include elite persons which Chris Martin very much is.

-'#SOLexclusives' appeals to the digital narrative and again can influence audience interaction

 -Used a limited but cohesive colour palette of green, white and red to aline with the schools uniform.

-Images of students seemingly enjoying school will encourage potential students to choose SHSG as the school for them.

-Image of student walking into the door of the 6th form building connotes the idea that 6th form is a time for are beginnings and the start of a new journey.

-Serif font to reinforce the sense of prestige that comes along with attending a grammar school.

-Students walking through the school together portrays the school as welcoming, showing how students a;; get along with one another.
