Evaluation- How well do media text go together in your project?

Evaluation- How does your project challenge real media text?

Our project challenges real media text because the artist that we have chosen is mainly shown as a bad girl is why her twitter is called 'badgirlriri' but we tried to change that image and make Rihanna look vulnerable and show that she is just like any other ordinary girl. To make our project like the character that we are making Rihanna portray, we have added a character that has had troubles into our music video. This is to show that most teenage girls go through this problem.
   In all, our music video is different than other music videos that Rihanna has created because most of her music videos have big productions, a lot of controversy because of the way that she dresses and dances in her music video . In our one, Rihanna is seen as sad and vunerable but there is still controversy because we seen the main character killing herself in the music video.Here are images of our music video 'fool in love' and Rihanna's music video that represent this.

Construction-Reflection log 10

This is a reflection of what we have done so far. We have finished filming all of the clips that are needed for our music video and now we are editing the final bits. Before we started editing, we thought that we filmed a lot of bits so we looking over the bits that we filmed and decided if it was necessary or unnecessary for our film. When we started editing, we saw some mistakes that were in the video like there was a shadow in one of the shots of someone who took a video of the clip. There was also continually in the shot. To make these shots better, we have to add other clips that we filmed to the music video.  

construction- research log 4

After we had added the slogan to the radio spot, we added 10 seconds of the rihanna song 'fool in love' that we are going to make a music video of on our radio spot. to do this, we converted the song from youtube to mp3 and uploaded it on garage band. Then, we cut the song short to 10 seconds made sure that it faded out at the end of the song.

Later, we put the radio spot on premire and added an image and name of the dj to the radio spot. We then converted the file to flv and uploaded it to youtube.

Construction- research log 3

After we have done the dj and caller call in, we then looked for background music to put on our radio spot for when the dj talks to the audience and the caller. We thought of doing this because when we played the whole radio spot that we done so far, that bit sounded a bit plain. We got the background music from youtube and converted it to an mp3 so that we could use it for our radio spot. The song that we chose was the instrumental of 'love on top' by beyonce.

After we had done the background music, we then recorded the dj talking about the song before we had to put the song on the radio spot and added the slogan of the radio so that people would know what the radio is called if they tuned in late.

Planning - Rihanna-Plays By

We have done research to find out how many times Rihanna's songs have been played this shows that Rihanna has been played from July to October. However here we can clearly see that the highest amount of plays is in  early september because this is when rihanna's new song was released this means that Rihanna will get more plays when she releases a new album. Even though Rihanna gets more plays when she releases a new song, she still has a lot of fans listening to her music

Planning - Rihanna (Musicmetro rank)

We have done research to see where Rihanna ranks in artist and it shows that Rihanna ranks at number 10 in the most successful artist. this shows that Rihanna is the tenth most successful artist which has grown from yesterday when she was 17th. this shows that because she is successful, we need to make the music video up to a good standard so that Rihanna can go up for number 10 to number 1. We have also noticed that recently Rihanna is 7th worldwide. This also means that it is easier for people to recognise her globally; She is a guaranteed money maker production companies would be lucky to have her signed because she is a like a safe product, there are no limits as to what you can do with her.

Planning - Rihanna Age distribution

Before making the music video for Rihanna, we have done some research to see what the age distribution for Rihanna is. In the research, we found out that most of Rihanna's fans are between the ages of 18 and 24 with 18.13% of them male and 41.94% of them female. This shows that most of her fans are females age 18-24 mainly age 21 which means that we have to make sure that our music video is aimed to this age group and gender. This age also falls into our age group which is convenient because we know our age group more than anyone else which means that we would know more than anybody what to put in the music video.

Planning - Soundies

Soundies were the first music videos that were created in the 1920's and 1930's and they lasted for 3 minutes. These videos often had short dance sequences included in them . They were usually used to entertain people while they were wainting for films to show in th cinema. they were also played on the panoram which were coin operated jukebox that showed in nightclubs, amusement parks etc. The soundies music videos were experimented in silent movies with soundtracks and they were often used in musical or comedy films.









 Here is an example of a soundie music video. This video was controversial when it came out because in those days, black cinemas and white cinemas were separate and this video was played in both cinemas which the whites didn't like in those days because it was a black artist singing. it was also controversial because the way that the woman are dressed in the video are shown as sexual so is their dancing.
