Sound video feedback and learner response

https://youtu.be/KWH340MQKBk

Sir's feedback:

  • First piece of music/ video is brilliantly parallel- it is very effective. Are these two pieces of video/ audio or was that the original soundtrack?
  • Contrapuntal clip gets a big laugh from the class- show's that the choice of music was effective!
  • Images for contrapuntal section well selected- lot's of wide shots (e.g. gravestones) that emphasise the emotion of the scene and therefore contrast with the music well.
  • Doesn't quite meet the brief which is something to consider in future but clear understanding of sound is shown.
Class feedback: WWW

  • The contrapuntal music made everyone react.
  • There was a clear switch from parallel to contrapuntal.
  • The contrapuntal music made the video seem funny.
  • The parallel music fit the visuals very well.
  • The music made it entertaining.
Class feedback:  EBI

  • Find music that is more contrapuntal.
  • Could have used more images/ videos.
  • It was too long.

Deutschland 83 close textual analysis

SCENE 1: garden/ BBQ scenes (one in East, one in West): Technical codes: Mise-en-scene: Digetic music (East) Costume (soldier uniform/ old fashioned clothing)- East Bigger house- West = shows wealth. Costume~ emphasises East vs West- creates 80s nostalgia; younger generation= casual, dont want to conform to the old, traditional ways. Formal, hierachical- West- most people are in uniform. Representation: East/ West/ Family/ Gender: Family in East= warm, valued, welcoming, poor but happy- Tracking/ steady cam shot follows Martin when he greets everyone. Family in West= traditional- daughter perfoming= traditional. Gender- Martin starts the bbq (West), Mum was organising/ tidying (East) = stereotypical. Gender- Martin places his hat on Anettes head= he is dominant in the relationship. "That Reagan... danger to mankind"- East vs West- coffee (prop)= wealth within the West. Gender= male dominated- historically accurate?, stereotypes reinforced. SCENE 2: Martin...

Billie Jean- Michael Jackson

1)The budget for Billie Jean was budgeted at $50,000. This differed to his other videos as their budgets were much higher. For example: Thriller's budget was $1million. 2)MTV rejected the video as it 'didn't fit their middle America audience'. 3)Billie Jean reflects the genre characteristics of pop music video. It contains lip-syncing, performance interwoven with narrative, dance routines and high fashion costume. 4)The visuals reflect the lyrics in the video as ultimately, the video is based on fan girls who claim that he/ his brothers are the parents of their babies. Key lyrics are amplified through the visuals. The actual video is about a girl: 'Billie Jean'. We never actually see her as a character however, we are presented with other images of females in general with whom he comes into contact with. For example: the billboard with the women's faces that are displayed or the figure who is already laying in he bed at the hotel. 5)The video features fe...
