Have we followed the Codes and Conventions?

Lyrics

• Paint a picture

• Create a feeling and mysterious mood

• Tell a story

• Match with the video

E.g. when our model shook her head to the line ‘and now my head is empty.’

“It's been so long since I've felt not a victim of repressionso maybe I overdobut take who this is or let me be…”

Music

• With every line the shots change from location to location

• Matches the tempo of the music

• The pace is edited in time with the music

Genre• Our choice of model, costume, locations and props all follow the Indie genre.

+ =Genre Codes & Conventions

• We were primarily aiming for an Experimental genre although within this we wanted an Indie/Gypsy/Boho theme.

• We followed this thoroughly with our choice of colourful clothing and diverse, weird location shots.

Cinematography • The way we used our camera and the shots we worked with had a definite impact on our video

• A prime example would be with the hand held, black and white, slow motion shot which we created with an aim of making it appear like a memory.

Editing• We used a varying range of edited shots

• These reinforced over and over again the Experimental genre
