Question 1

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

R&B professional music videos that I have taken ideas and inspiration from: 

 

 

My music video:

 

 

As you can see both professional music video use dance and performance throughout the videos, I have stuck with this convention of R&B music video and incorporated that element into my music video that I have made.

 

However I have gone against the convention of lip sync. The reason for this is that I tried it when filming and I couldn't quite grasp the skill. As I also study dance a long side media I decided I wanted to go down the more dance based and performance based music video, however no looking back I wish I did add some moments of lip sync into the product.  

 

My location suits the conventions of R&B as you can see in the professional videos I have listed at the top, they are both located on the streets or in a rough area. I wanted to show this through my video, which I think I have successfully done.
