LO: to explore this section of the unit and research chosen case study

Averil Lavine 

Sk8er Boi

2002

genre:rock

Wheatus 

Teenage Dirtbag

2000

genre:pop rock

Teenage dirtbag is about a boy who didn't have any friends but he really liked this one popular girl but she has a boyfriend who isn't a good person

The song Teenage Dirtbag was sang by Wheatus and released in 2000. This song is about a boy who  really liked this one girl in his school but she had a boyfriend who wasn't a good person. He just thinks he's a teenage dirtbag because how he was treated by people at his school, he thought that the girl would never go for someone like him. At a dance she had to tickets to go with him, then they danced and then he woke up and it was all a dream. The main purpose for the music video id to promote the movie and the song in one.

The song Sk8er Boi sang by Averil Lavine released in 2002. The song is actually a story that is telling. It is about a skater boy who really liked a girl who did ballet and was very different to him though she liked him too. But since her friends didn't like him she turned him down. Five years later, she is a single mother.

colour 

performance:(positioning, facial, expressions, body language)

Taylor Swift

The mise-en-scene used in sk8er boi is the skater sort of props and like guitar and spray paint stuff like that. 

she is always in the front of everyone

Thursday 9th February 2023

Do Now 

1. setting-shopping place

2. costume-bright and colourful

3. makeup and hair

LO: to examine the use of media language in music videos 

they reflect it by making it look more punk rock 

they show who avril is and what she wears and what she likes 

Averil Lavine and her friends are dressed like emos 

This is achieved by using emo stuff

this could suggest to the audience that she's emo 

In avril lavine's music video it is set in a car park

we know this as we are shown cars 

in my opinion the video is set here because they're gangsters

How and Why do the two music videos you have studied use setting and costume effectively?

The music video for Avril Lavine's Sk8er Boi and Wheatus Teenage Dirtbag use setting and costume to achieve similar effects.

  

Thursday 9th March 2023

LO: to explore how sound and editing are used to create meaning in a music videos 

Diegetic and Non-diegetic 

 

diegetic in sk8er boi was was when u heard the spray cans at the start and then at the end u heard the helicopter. they help add realism to the video

Editing

both music videos are linear 

the video with the faster pace is sk8er boi and the case is that they're trying to go for a more edgy look.

the video with longer shot length is teenage dirtbag because its a movie 

special effects in teenage dirtbag when he went into a dream, the girl who he fancies every time she comes near him its in slow motion 

 both videos use MES differently, specifically costume. in sk8er boi they dress like emos and in teenage dirtbag they dress very stereotypically.
