The clock is going to be the centre piece of my website. It shows the passing of time and presents the message that it's time to change. I choose the city to present the constraints of city and how we live in a world controlled by media and that we need to change and break away from the control of media and have our own views. About us section to say what the band is about and what we represent. It will also include tour dates of our next tour. Contact us section so you can follow and keep up to date on the artist and enquire about anything. Store which will sell the artists merchandise. Examples of merch

  I will be using these placards at the start of the music video as it represents the ideology of protest as the placards are the symbol of a protest as they are always seen conveying messages of protest against certain situations (example below) I will also be displaying a family setting throughout my music video by using visual denotations of a living room as that has connotations of home and where a family spends there time. This, therefore, will target my demographic of families as all generations can implement change as the parents can teach change to the youth and act on the change and the youth can be brought up with the ideology of the change being a good thing. The idea behind the protest is inspired by current affair and how the media create these one sided views and do not represent the whole story and make people worried about situations and panic such as people panic buying for Covid. This will be shown through the references to media through how people consume media s...

In my A-level coursework song I am planning to use visual denotations and connotations to portray the message that the artist is trying to create. The target audience that I am trying to reach are people between the age of 16-25 who are socially aware about what is going on in the world and they need to grow up adopting the message that the media should not influence what you think about and worry about within life and that you should express your own opinion on what is going on in society. This will be conveyed through the mise-en-scene as it will be mainly focused on the media itself and it's impact on society and what it chooses to convey. I will also present a family environment as I want to express that it is not just one group that is being targeted by this music video but people of different generations as media can impact anyone; however, the second demographic that I will be focusing one will be older teenagers as they are the generation who are stereotyped as being always...

The first 6 seconds of the music video will show this wooden plaque that protesters use to convey the genre of the song. The music will be cut to the beat and the bands name will be drawn across the banners to show they support this protest. The next section of my music video will have a TV screen relaying news and when the beat cuts it will change channels which will present how this type of news is worldwide and that it is not covering the most important news. This will last for 7 seconds. The next section of my music video will of my leaving the transition between the previous shot will be a cut and the video will cut around the room will my family sitting there. This is to portray the family demographic. This shot will then transition to me sitting on the sofa lip syncing to the camera (8 seconds) The  next section will have the TV screen showing the impact of global warming and the messages that the media does not want to show you. (6 seconds)

The overall message that I am willing to convey in my story is that of the media and how they create a bubble that encloses us and lulls us into a false sense of security or creates a sense of paranoia without presenting the full story from different perspectives. For example, when they focused more on political decisions such as Brexit instead of focusing on global warming and the changes in that is happening within the Arctic. My video will illustrate these problems be juxtaposed with the image of news and what they are showing. The narrative will follow this teenager who is growing up in a world surrounded by these news and how that is distracting us from other situations that are damaging the earth around us. This is one of the demographics that I will be targeting. Another demographic will be family as this message needs to be conveyed up through generations as adults need to tell their children and children need to be brought up to have their own views instead of being influenced...
