Learning Comments

We took part in an interview and asked each other questions about music videos, including which videos we watch, why we watch them, what we like about them and if we download them. This process was important in understanding what the appealing aspects of music videos are and what people our age thought about music videos. When we make our own videos, this information will help us to know what we need to include in the video and how to carry it out in order to make the most entertaining video we can. We found out that we like narrative videos, as they are more entertaining to watch and we can resonate with them more.

In this task we give each other feedback on what we liked and disliked about previous students music videos. This gave us a chance to identify what audiences like about music videos and what to include and not include in our video. This was a very useful task to complete and will able us to know the most enjoyable and entertaining aspects of music videos. Everything we liked about previous students videos we will try in integrate into our own video in our unique way.

Upon completing this task, I have learnt how different people interpret music videos using several different theories. This has made me think about how my video could be interpreted and is something that i will need to take into consideration what I produce my video. Different social class and other factors have an impact on how people view music videos and it is important that I think about this when creating mine.
