 Initial Tasks: Planning 1) Write a 100 word statement of intent explaining what you are going to make for your preliminary exercise For my preliminary exercise, I’m making a short 50-second music video to Frank Ocean’s song: Moon River. It’s a cut-down version of my main idea, showing how you should always choose yourself. I’m starting with a diegetic speech where someone asks, “Love or lust?” and the reply sets up the meaning. Then the music comes in, and we follow one main character after a breakup. They’re shown alone at first, but then start to focus on self-love and small positive actions. I’ll use simple shots like close-ups, shot/reverse shot and a quick montage to show this. 2) Write a script for your preliminary exercise on your blog. This needs to include stage directions AND dialogue.  Preliminary Exercise Script – Moon River (50s) FADE IN: EXT.

The music video for "Tongue Tied" uses a dystopian narrative to engage the audience. It follows Todorov’s structure, starting with a disruption where a group called the “Silencers” suppress freedom of speech. Characters like YUNGBLUD and blackbear represent the rebels, creating a clear binary opposition. Fast-paced editing, dark lighting, and symbolic costume choices highlight the themes of control vs. freedom. The use of enigma and action keeps the audience interested, while the final voiceover  delivers a powerful message about youth and resistance. Music video 2: Years & Years - I Wish I Knew How is camerawork and mise-en-scene used in this video? Use CLAMPS to remember the different aspects of mise-en-scene In the “I Wish I Knew” video by Years & Years, the camerawork uses close-ups and steady...

 Audience 1)What is KISS FM's mission? KISS FM’s mission is to connect with young people by sharing fresh music and content across radio, online, and social media in a way that fits our lifestyle. 2) Look at page 3. What is the target audience for KISS FM? As well as writing the key statistics from the media pack, try and suggest what psychographic groups would fit the KISS audience too. The target audience for KISS FM is mainly 15–34-year-olds, with a 60/40 female-to-male split. While the audience was originally more London-based, 65% now live outside the city, showing how the station has grown nationally. They’re active, social through the KISS Kube app (which has over 1.3 million downloads). Shows like Breakfast and Live@KISS have the biggest audience share in London, and the listeners tend to fall into psychographic groups like trendsetters, digital natives, and experience seekers. 3) Now look at page 5 - The KISS network. How does KISS use digital media and technology to reach...
