Q1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real products?

When doing research for my music video I learnt a lot about the conventions of

music videos. In a lot of music videos the conventions are very basic and are

common features with a lot of music videos. This includes close up shots on the

artist, the camera angles often change to a beat to make it more effective. Also

the will be usually something else going on in the music video.

After doing my research into music videos and there conventions, both me and

Liam as a group figured out the conventions that fit into the style of the song, we

ended up using a lot of these typical conventions because we believed using

these will create a better music video. For instance we did close-ups on our

singer then we would put in a transition and go to the story that goes on through

out the music video.

We also had to do our research into the conventions of a digipak, the conventions

I found the were images, songwriters, song producers, track listing, name of 

artist and details of tracks. I also had to create a poster to advertise the digipak.

The cover of the eureka machines is the style i went for, however i had to make it different because they have four members and they all feature in this album cover, whereas i have one band member. Because of this I made jason (our musician) central and much larger. Also the eureka machines album cover is an actual painting that has been printed on to all the albums, where as i have had to use a normal photo and effects on photoshop to give it a  portrait style. 

This is a plain style, however it is a affective in the way of showing that this is Jason's solo project by just having him on the front cover and having him central of the cover, this shows that it is all about him. Also with the name of the band being The Jason Smith Project shows the target audience that this is his project. 

I had to do research into the conventions of advertisement of a digipak, most posters have the name of the band, release date, the image on the digipak cover,price and where you can get it.
