-Social Media Feedback-

When i finished my music video, what i did was, i asked a couple of people to watch it and tell me what they liked about it what they didnt like about it and what i could improve for my music video. These were the responses that i got.



These comments are good to tell  me what i did right and what i did wrong. They are right i should have directed the facial expressions of the girl playing the artist. And the actors should have been more flirty but i couldn't force them to do anything they were not comfortable doing. However i should have been more strict on what i wanted.

-Logo Research-

I have noticed that RnB artists do not really have proper logos. But what they do have is consistency. Their artist name has always been the same but nowadays more developed but surely still the same. Here are some examples:










I want my font to be like these artists, the writing looks personalised to their style like i want mine to be. I need to make sure my font is up to date with modern society as the albums on the left are past albums and the ones on the right are recent.

So i want my font will be my logo.

What i did was, i went on a font website (dafont) and i found a font called Bizarre which looks like Rihanna's font that she consistently uses. I decided that i could put my artists initials on top of each other to give a logo that is small recognisable and different. I also experimented with my original font Madamoiselle Camille which is a swirly skinny font which looks sophisticatedly soft.






These are my ideas that i have come up with. After close deliberation, i chose my original font Mademoiselle Camille to do the initials for my artist. However i edited the font by taking away all of the swirly bits so that it is easy to read and personalised to my artist.

-Production 1: Conventions-














Both of these artist make it a duty to have Jewellery of some sort. RnB artists tend to have Jewellery in every music video and show/premiere. However in their everyday lives, paparazzi mostly catches them without it but occasionally with. I may or may not follow that conventions of wearing huge Jewelry in a music video. I may not go as big but small. 


  • Make up
Singers in professional public places always have make up on and when they are living their normal lives, they ay not. Whether their look is to be natural or not, they wear make up to achieve a certain look. They have their eyebrows done, wear eye shadow with eye lashes, lipstick and they contour the face (create features on the face e.g. a sculptured nose and nice cheekbones).

  • Bodily Tattoos/ Piercings













Nowadays piercings and tattoos are socially accepted in the meaning that not only females are to get their nose pierced for example. It is comment hat males have it as well. And not only males are to have tattoos. Both are getting them and it is fashion right now. However fashion may change and people (male and female) may change their preference which will be see as acceptable in wider society. 


  • Material Goods 















Even though, different gender artist have different views in what they think is material goods but things like luxury boats, houses, cars, trainers show off the artists wealth to an extent. In all music videos we see extravagant things and luxury things that attract audiences to the artist as they appear to be very rich. 

-Culture Industry-

We had a Culture Industry lesson today that explained that things are always changing.


Culture industry from sophxsophx

I thought to contradict the Culture Identity PowerPoint that people are changed and upgraded in the music industry. I found an artist called J. Cole that hadn't changed from when he first started off as an artist.

-Digipak & Poster Analysis Green Screen-

Today we were asked to analyse a Digipak. I decided to analyse Rihanna's Digipak and Poster. It was quite interesting to see how they both tied into each other. The pictures, the theme, the layout etc. I got to see how similar the Poster is to the Digipak suggesting that it was done in the same day, most probably while the Digipak photos where taking place. I presented my analysis on top of a green screen.



I think this gave me a chance to see and understand how Digipaks are linked to the Posters which are then promoted all around the world if they have the funds to do so.


-Cross Media Case Study-

I made an Emaze to show my Cross Media Analysis of a chosen artist which is K. Michelle.
