Intertextuality

One of the key concepts in Media Studies is intertextuality.
This useful slideshow includes some amazing facts and information on how media products such as music videos have a particular impact on audiences via references to film, art, literature and more.
As I am at the post-production stage where I am beginning to evaluate my work and progress, I have once again reviewed the final music video of Five Years Time and even at this point, noticed possible influences that we sub-consciously added in order to produce a home-made, authentic type video.


Moving onto the website

The next ancillary task is the Website page which also contributes to my overall grade and completed project. During our class discussion we looked at the different aspects and features of what a website incorporates and spoke about how we can successfully appeal to our target audience with colour, font and presentational devices in order to promote the song, artist and music video. The new software that we will be focusing to work on is called Wix.






Finishing the digipak assignment

As this is one of the ancillary tasks, I have developed a better understanding and more technical knowledge using the computer software during this allocated lesson time. I have finalised my finished product by gathering more primary research with QuickSurvey which is a free, online programme to create instant surveys for my target audience. I have put foward five multiple choice questions with suggestive answers in order to gain sufficient information and research to progress further.
