Evaluation Q1) In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

1) This image is one taken from our music video from when the lyrics quote the word 'education' the word is also created for our music video with Myrin, who plays the character of someone who recieves bad grades and tries his hardest to study to achieve better ones.

2) This image refers to the fact that SBR records is one recording company that doesnt just sign anyone, the type of artist we are looking for is someone who can step up to the plate, and deliver, music of reason and we feel that this image represents that, as the character, Terry (me), didnt need to pick up the mic, he could have easily have walked past, but he showed he had, not just the talent, but the passion for doing what he eventually did.

3) This is an image of a studio shot of Terry (me) singing the song. The costume suggests a more rock style of music, however, as a black male there is always going to be an element of hip-hop involved because of the way most black males are brought up and what genre of music they usually listen to from a young age, hence the genre of the song chosen was Rock/Hip-Hop.

4) This shot is of Nathaniel playing basketball against his rival, we thought of this basketball idea mainly from the film 'Coach Carter, who used this idea and this song in their film. We thought that this was a good thing to incorporate in our music video, as this is the first thing people will think of when they hear our sountrack, because it did so well for the film.

5) This picture is a fade/blur effect that we used on our camera, this was not done by Premier Pro or any other programme, this was done solely by the use of our Cannon. This shot is at the very beginning adding to the mystery of the audience still wondering what the music video will be about.

6) This is a scene that demonstrates lighting, as I described in my blog previously, this backetball scene was one which we done at early hours of the morning, just to get the perfect ligting for a scene like this in the season we were in. We definitely thought we achieved this as it was easy editing it in the studio, as we knew what sort of colour we were looking for.

7) This image reflects mise en scene, as the costumes create the character, Myrin had to bring in his Blazer and tie, from year 11 (last year) so that we could film him doing work and really give the audience the impression and make it clear that he was a student.

8) This is used in another music video, from Slim Thug ft B.O.B - So High, this is used in B.OB's verse. We thought that this would complement our video as we needed something that would make our video more emotional and experimental, and will also show editing skills that maybe this genre of music doesnt allow us to show as individuals.

9) Beyoncé - Like a Boy is a video that basically works backwards, we as a group always admired the idea of a dream being linked to our music video, we wanted to incorporate something in our video that would show a rewind in time, or something happening that never really happened. This image is of the rewind at the very end, which lets the audience know that all this never happened, but it easily could, if you were to work at something you really believed in.

SBR Recordings - Ethos

Our Record Label is called SBR Records, we specialise in music that aimed at a mass audience, however, unlike most others that are also aimed at a mass audience, We only sign bands that we feel hold a deeper meaning of existence, and bands that we feel will make a difference to people's lives. Other artists or bands that will feel will also be on the label, would be artists such as The Roots, K'Naan, Damien Marley etc. We feel that many of other record labels just focus solely on artists that make good music, however, we see past that and build upon the idea that music has the power to change the world.
