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

There are many key conventions within our music video which are of real media that challenged forms and conventions effectively. The music that we chose to use was RnB/Hiphop, the song is very mellow sounding throughout and quite slow paced. In order to achieve a perfect music video we must have our editing correct using the effects needed to meet the criteria of RnB/Hiphop music video. We also made sure lighting and our place where we film were up to high standards, as this has been accomplished we seek have more people interested. 


We collected a few ideas from other music videos that have the same similar music genre as ours. Below are pictures showing a section from our music video a section from Bow wow's music video, both videos are set in London. We were inspired by the way bow wow is walking as the camera follows along at a side view shot. The difference between our shot and Bow bow's is that ours is a close up, we did this to allow the facial expression to show up more in order for the audience to see the emotions of the character.

The similarities of the song allowed us to be even more inspired by the Bow wow's music video. As the video is set in London for most the parts we saw that it was highly effective because of the lighting and the surroundings, so we thought it would do the same for us as both songs are similar. 


our music video is concentrate with forms and conventions of real media products as most RnB songs would included the type of camera shots, style of editing, lighting and settings. RnB songs also mainly involve a male singer who would be singing about a woman in the way he would feel to. 

We were also inspired by another music video by Bow wow called Baby. Below are the similarities of our music video and Bow wow's. We took the idea of where Bow bow is sitting on the stairs lip syncing, in this image Bow wow is very passionate with the lyrics that he rap as you can by his body language and facial expression. As the song is similar to our own as he is talking about a girl we were able to include the similar emotions by using the same expressions and body language.
