A Hard Days Night- The Beatles
The Beatles was a massive pandemonium that fans crazed over, they pushed the limits with their music promos. They was the first band ever to use the sort of technology and effects that they used in there music videos.
A Hard Days Night is just an example that they released in 1964, they used their music video as a trailer for a short movie they would use as their music video. They was the first band ever to do this and it enhanced their popularity for the music promos not just for their music.
Jess - I appreciate that you have been away but now you are back you need to really work on your blog. You still need to post analyses of THREE promos where you explore their use of conventions in detail - this work was from before the summer break.
ReplyDeleteMake sure that you get up to speed with work from this year - see me for details.
Now focus on looking at the genre conventions for a promo from a bad of a similar genre to your chosen band - how do bands of this genre use / develop / subvert conventions? What are the typical elements present in terms of camerawork / editing / mise-en-scene / narrative / performance / intertextuality?
