  1) Write a 100 word statement of intent explaining what you are going to make for your preliminary exercise. I plan on  making a 30-40 second music video that will highlight on the importance of making sure that we keep our local areas clean. It will be portraying on the discomfort it brings people and the bigger picture of the whole world. It will capture on how it can impact and influence people to damage out world and homes.

  1) Research: Music videos Watch the following music videos and analyse an aspect of media language for each one: Music video 1:  Marshmello x YUNGBLUD x blackbear - Tongue Tied How is  narrative  used in this music video to engage the audience? Right at the beginning they use dialog which is diegetic sounds to set the scene and mood for the rest of the music video and use the name " SCILENCERS " to make them seem like a power hungry and abusive police force to make them the villain of the music video and make the civilians look like the innocent people that have feel under rule of the police.

  1) Type up any feedback from your teacher in full (you do not need to write the mark/grade if you do not wish to). WWW- Clip questions are superb so just need to match that level in 20 mark essay  EBI- examples from episodes/ more depth for Q2 Grade 7 mark 30  2) Look at the mark scheme document linked above. Question 1.1 asks about mise-en-scene. What do we use to remember mise-en-scene? Give one example answer from the clip too - you'll find example answers in the mark scheme. We use CLAMPS to remember mise-en-scene and an example is the actor costume from Will as he is wearing normal clothing like a normal boy from Oxford.  3) Question 1.2 asks about narrative features in the extract.
