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


When designing my digipack I looked on Chris Cohen’s MySpace to see who he had listed as inspiration as this would show me similar artists and ones who reflect his style. When I had found a few I looked at their album artwork and adverts for them this inspired me by letting me see products that I could create. A lot of the similar artists use black and white photos this is one convention that I have also used as it reflects my music video and also fits in with Chris Cohens style. He belongs to the acoustic/ singer-song writer genre I feel that My video and print productions reflect this although our video is different to most from this Genre.

We challenged convections of music videos as nearly our whole video is narrative. Viewers will recognise performing shots in our video although they are part of the narrative. Most other videos will have more performing shots and less of a storyline our production is almost like a short film. Our video is also in black and white which you do not see very often in videos however it suits the song and content shown.

In my print production for the magazine advert I used a large picture as the base and a smaller picture of the CD pack something you commonly see in most adverts. I have included logos of store you can buy the CD at again this is seen on a lot of adverts and is something the audience will instantly recognise.
