We now started looking at Postmodernism as it is Section B of the A2 exam.
We looked at different characteristics a postmodern text has. (Irony, pastiche, Intertextuality, metafiction, histographic metafiction, Temporal distortion, Paranoia, maximalism, faction, Magical realism and participation) We also looked at "Life of Mars" and "Ashes to Ashes" as these are two of the main tv series we will be concentrating on when studying postmodernism. We watched the first two episodes of 'Life on Mars' and the last one of 'Ashes to Ashes', this helped us understand the idea behind the tv-show and why it is considered to be postmodern.

On the first day of the course, we look through the unit's brief, we discussed what the board was expecting from us and what we were going to do.
We also briefly discussed what option package we are planning on choosing for our component 3. I'm planing on doing the Music Video package due I already have some experience on making music videos as I already made two for my Level 3 BTEC Creative Media Production: Television and Film. After deciding which package I was going to do, I started to do some research on the type of genre that I wanted to do. And I came across the music video for the song "HUMBLE" by Kendrick Lamar, I'm going to be honest I feel in love with the music video and instantly decided that I wanted to make something like that for my music video. To expand my research and kinda get an idea of the type of research that I need to do, I spoke to an alumni (Ted Edward) that also made an amazing music video of the same genre, and has a lot of knowledge of the genre due to the extended research he made for the pre-production of his music video. Speaking to him gave me a good idea of what I needed to do, where did I need to start and how to get ideas. He also gave me some music videos and artists that will be good to look at and analyse. The music videos and artists that he gave me are: Joey Badass - Devastated Nicky Minaj - Anaconda, No Frauds, Regret In Your Teras, etc. Daniel Caesar - Get You ASAP Mob - Yamborghini high, Wrong Anderson Paak Danny Brown - Ain't It Funny |
